NADINE LUSTRE
SA patuloy na ipinatutupad na lockdown sa Luzon region, napakaraming natutunan ng award-winning young actress na si Nadine Lustre.
Bukod sa mas nakilala pa niya ang sarili, na-realize rin ng ex-girlfriend ni James Reid na napakahalaga sa panahon ng krisis ang tiwala sa sarili at ang pagkakaroon ng support system, kabilang na ang mga tunay na kaibigan.
Ayon kay Nadine, isa pa sa dapat pagtuunan ng pansin ngayong naka-enhanced community quarantine pa rin ang bansa ay ang mental health ng bawat isa dahil hindi biro ang “makulong” sa bahay ng mahigit isang buwan na paulit-ulit na lang ang ginagawa at nakikita.
Nagkaroon ng chance na makapagbigay ng update si Nadine tungkol sa pinagdaraanan niya ngayon sa Facebook Live interview sa kanya ng kaibigang si Tim Yap.
Dito kinumpirma ng aktres na nakatira siya ngayon sa isang condo sa Makati matapos silang maghiwalay ni James at lisanin ang kanilang love nest.
“One of the biggest lessons that I’ve learned during the quarantine period is that I just learned how to stop doubting myself and I started believing in myself more,” unang pahayag ng dalaga.
“I reflected din about a lot of things. Personal. Medyo deep. But I really think na parang the universe is giving us time to work on ourselves and grow even more.
“Parang it’s also showing us na all you need to help yourself grow is yourself. Kasi we are enough. But what we have now and what we know now is enough. And that’s all we need eh,” lahad pa ni Nadine.
Inamin din niya na challenging ang buhay at ang kanyang mental well-being ngayon, “That’s also one of the biggest issues that I had. Kasi I don’t get to see my friends. So you know, when bad thoughts come into my head, parang ako kasi I’m the type na when I start thinking about one thing, it’s like a rabbit hole.
“It goes down and then it gets really bad. And then I start to get a panic attack and I start crying. And I don’t know what to do. That’s how it is for me,” paliwanag niya.
Payo naman niya sa madlang pipol, “Just have all your good friends on standby. Ako I message them all the time. They’re always there for me. Kasi it is a crucial time eh. Kasi you don’t get to see these people.
“And you know it’s true that one thing that helps with all those negative thoughts, anxiety, is another person to tell you na ‘hindi, hindi ‘yan totoo. It’s not going to happen, it’s okay.’”
“Tsaka I also believe na it’s not bad to break down sometimes. Kasi you need to feel it eh. You can’t just keep holding it up and then eventually you’re going to bottle up. Mas delikado ‘yung ganu’n. So when I start to think about you know about weird stuff, I cry out kaagad,” chika ni Nadine.
“That’s why you have your friends. That’s why you have these people that you trust, ‘di ba? These people who will get your back every time you’re in trouble. They’re always there to look after you no matter what happens. And especially now, dapat talaga we’re all supporting each other,” pahayag pa ng Kapamilya actress.
