The heartbreaking prose described her great pain and determination to “flee into the shadows” after the breakup.
“The promise, they say, is that a tender heart breeds fearlessness.” I hope it's true…
“I share this to keep and hope that the knowledge of my experience might be useful to someone else out there who is suffering from grief and is ready to escape the pain and miss out on the wisdom that comes from it. “..
'#Finish. Let’s face our pain so we don’t spread it.”
During her Porter interview, Lupita, who posed alongside the chat for a stunning photoshoot, explained why she wanted to publicly announce their split and admitted she didn't know what the reaction would be.
She said: “I was in a lot of pain and heartache.” I looked at my social media environment and thought, I don't want to be part of this illusion that everything is always going well.
“Certainly I can learn a lesson from this and I just want to be honest.”
This year, Lupita is focusing on deeper self-exploration that goes beyond her career and is dedicated to the slow and conscious work of understanding herself.
She tries to follow the advice that applies to her, like something fellow actress Niecy Nash said when Lupita asked if she would ever love again after their breakup: “Our meaning in life is love.” And that's why she has to you come back in.'
