“Be strong and overcome obstacles in life.”
Ito ang sinabi ni Xian Lim na kasalukuyang hashtag ng buhay niya sa panayam sa kanya ni Boy Abunda sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda ngayong Biyernes ng hapon, Marso 23, 2024.
Ni minsan, hindi nabanggit sa pag-uusap nina Boy at Xian ang pagwawakas ng labing-isang taong relasyon ng aktor kay Kim Chiu.
Pero makahulugan ang sagot niya nang tanungin siya tungkol sa naituro sa kanya ng pag-ibig.
Paliwanag ni Xian, “I think it teaches you pain.
“Love is very painful and it’s also a very magical feeling.
“I think that’s what love does to you.
“But at a certain point, love disappears.”
Pagpapatuloy niya, “It’s also very painful kasi siyempre, magkaiba kayo.
“You are a different person and the other one is a different person. You have to learn to accept each other.
“And I think dun na magiging choice ang pagmamahal and you choose to stay together, and you choose to fight for each other, no matter what it is.”
Sa tanong tungkol sa ipinagdarasal niya ngayon, tila may kinalaman pa rin sa mga nangyari sa kanyang pakikipagrelasyon ang reaksiyon ni Xian.
Sabi niya, “It’s so easy to make up different things because we have this freedom of speech, we have the social media thing.
“There’s so many different things circulating online so I think that’s also one that I pray for.
“Of course, the people close to me and the people who don’t know me believe what is really legit and really not believe the lies spreading across the internet.”
Ano ang mga hindi niya na babalikan?
“Hindi ko babalikan ang mga… I have my own shares of controversies, and it’s a learning process and I don’t know what’s happening.
“Yung mga ganoon hindi ko babalikan kasi it’s a very painful time and it takes a lot of maturity and it takes a lot out of you.
“So, hindi ko babalikan ‘yon.”
Alam ng marami ang sobrang pagmamahal ni Xian sa ina niyang si Mary Anne kaya kung may tao siyang pasasalamatan, ito ay walang iba kundi ang kanyang ina.
“I owe a lot sa mom ko because remember, she’s a single mom and she always pushes me.
“Mom, I wanna say thank you dahil you always push me to be better.
“And lagi niya akong pinapaalalahan na, ‘Xian, you have to really prioritize… know your worth. Stop doing the negative self talk.’
“Kasi she catches me doing that a lot.
“Even when I’m down, even when I don’t get work. Kasi sa field naman natin, after you do more project, hindi mo alam kung meron ka pang susunod.
“My mom would always make it light. She would say, ‘Ano anak, kaya pa? Yan ang buhay, anak, na mahirapan ka. Not every day you will wake up and you’re feeling great.
What you have to do is always show up every single day and know what your purpose is.'”
