It is not easy to be a Princess
It is not always easy to be a Princess—especially when measured against other people’s fantasies rather than one’s own calling.
For me, the title is not about spectacle or privilege. It is about responsibility, service, and inner strength.
My inspiration comes from Proverbs 31:25–31:
She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instruction with kindness.
She carefully watches over all that happens in her household
and does not give herself to idleness.
To me, these words are not symbolic—they are guiding principles.
They call me to choose courage over comfort,
grace over noise,
purpose over appearance.
To lead with wisdom, speak with kindness, and carry strength quietly—while remaining hopeful, even when the future asks for faith.
This is what dignity means to me.
This is how I strive to live—every day.
