the quiet flex that outlasts every hard thing trying to break it
means The quality of being gentle, yielding, or smooth to the touch, feeling, or temperament.
from From Old English 'softe,' meaning gentle or mild, with the '-ness' suffix doing its old job of turning a quality into a noun you can hold. 'Softe' traces back to a West Germanic root, and is likely a cousin of Dutch 'zacht' and German 'sanft' — all of them words for a thing that gives way kindly rather than breaking.
