Days after returning to the 'outside world,' Sparkle actor and ex-housemate Dustin Yu reflected on his Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) journey and expressed his gratitude to everyone who supported him.
Dustin shared on Instagram a photo of himself outside Bahay ni Kuya. In his caption, he talked about how he joined PBB without expectations, just a "willing heart and the hope to learn something along the way."
"I didn't really know what I was walking into, but maybe that's the best part. From watching this place on screen to standing here today, it feels a little surreal," he said.
Dustin added, "The little wins, the rough patches, the moments no one saw.. all of it added up. And it changed me. Still figuring things out, still trying, but I'm learning to be proud of how far I've come."
Dustin said he is thankful for the challenges that pushed and reminded him to keep going.
"I've come to realize that becoming who you are doesn't always happen the way you expect. Sometimes it's in the small, consistent ways you keep showing up, and over time, you realize your strength was building all along," he continued.
In the latter part of his message, Dustin penned his appreciation for his supporters.
"To all the amazing supporters, and to everyone who's been there, whether loudly or quietly, thank you. I don't think I'll ever be able to explain how much that means to me. I appreciate you all more than you'll ever know. You've been such a blessing in this journey, and I'll carry that with me wherever I go," he said.
The duo of Dustin and Bianca De Vera, also known as DusBi, were the last evictees of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition.
