After the highly publicized breakup with Daniel Padilla in November, Kathryn Bernardo is speaking out about her journey toward healing and forgiveness. In a recent interview with Mega Magazine, the actress shared insights into her current state of mind and how she’s navigated through the aftermath of the split.
Reflecting on her present situation, Bernardo expressed a sense of contentment and acceptance, stating, “Now, where I am is exactly where I’m supposed to be. February for me is the new January. Parang ’yon ’yong tapos na. I know that I’m okay. I can say I’m healed.” This sentiment reflects a sense of closure and a readiness to embrace new beginnings.
Addressing the topic of forgiveness, Bernardo delved into its complexities. “Ang lalim kasi ng word na forgiveness. For me, you can forgive people who deserve it. But when I forgive you, it doesn’t mean that I have to keep you in my life. I forgive you for my peace of mind, for clarity, and for everything. But it doesn’t mean na puwede kang bumalik. It depends,” she explained. This nuanced perspective highlights the importance of prioritizing one’s well-being and setting boundaries, even in the face of forgiveness.
Further emphasizing her stance on maintaining distance after forgiving someone, Bernardo stated, “I’ll just keep my distance; you keep your distance. We’re okay like that. I mean, kunwari, I got hurt, why would I allow you to come back? It depends. It’s a case-to-case basis.” This assertion underscores the importance of self-respect and discernment in interpersonal relationships.
The breakup between Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla was confirmed on November 30, marking the end of their romantic partnership. However, amidst the speculation and public attention surrounding their split, both parties have maintained a level of respect and privacy.
Interestingly, Daniel Padilla subtly reached out to Kathryn on her 28th birthday, sending his greetings through a Japanese character. This gesture hints at a sense of amicability and mutual respect between the former couple, despite the challenges they’ve faced.
As Kathryn Bernardo continues to focus on her career and personal growth, her journey serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of self-care in times of adversity. Through her candid reflections on healing and forgiveness, she inspires others to prioritize their well-being and embrace the journey toward inner peace.
