Today it is customary to put everything on display: feelings, purchases, breakfasts, even mental breakdowns are beautifully framed under the "Valencia" filter.
But you know, sometimes real chic is in silence. And in invisibility.

Here you have a modest card in your wallet. But behind it is an account that even a banker could cry about. And you just nod when they tell you: "And you probably pay off a loan too?"
— Yeah... only the other way around...

You can cook great, quote Shakespeare without hesitation and secretly speak French, but in public you say:
— What am I... ordinary... I can only boil tea ☕😉

And you also know when not to talk.
Because true power is not in shining. It is in illuminating when needed, and being a shadow when the light is irritating.

Why does this work?
Because people feel.
The quieter you behave, the more they listen to you.
The less you put yourself on display, the more interesting you become.
And in a world where everyone wants to shout, a whisper sometimes sounds louder.

And it is also a great defense against envious people and chatterboxes. They don't know that you're smart, handsome, rich, in love, and can make the best borscht in this city 😎

But let's be honest...
Have you ever pretended that you don't know how to use technology so that someone else could set it up at work? Or pretended that you don't know how to grill meat so that you don't have to stand at the grill the whole dacha? Well? Admit it... 😉

This is also part of the art: to know - and to choose who and when to show it.
Not because we are secret spies, but because this is real magic: to be more than you seem. And to know when to just smile mysteriously 😏
