Euwenn Mikaell to his younger self: “We made it.”

Before the year ends, Euwenn Mikaell paused to reflect and celebrate his younger self.

The child star took to Instagram to share an AI-generated photo of himself hugging his younger self, along with a heartfelt tribute and words of appreciation to his “little self,” which helped shape the person he is today.

"Before the year ends, I just want to say THANK YOU to my little self," he began.

“Thank you for being brave on days you didn't understand. Thank you for smiling even when life was confusing. Thank you for believing that everything would be okay, because now, I can see that it truly is,” he wrote.

“I'm so PROUD OF YOU for everything you've been through. For the hard days you survived, the fears you faced, and the strength you didn't even know you had. You kept going when it was difficult, and that courage shaped the person I am today,” Euwenn shared.

The Sparkle artist added that every step, tear, and laugh has built the life he is living now.

“I carry your innocence, your dreams, and your hope with me every single day,” he continued.

He also expressed gratitude to his family for their “love, sacrifices, and constant support.”

Importantly, the child actor thanked his fans who encouraged him and continued to support him. He also gave thanks to his Sparkle and GMA Network family, as well as to everyone he has worked with, for their “trust” and “guidance.”

”I'm also thankful for every character I have portrayed (Nemo, Sammy, Santino, Junjun, Tonton, Rambo, Kid, Miro etc.) Each role taught me something, shaped me, and helped me grow not only as an artist, but as a person. Because of you, I learned how to love, how to stay humble, and how to never give up,” he added.

As he grows a little older, he promised to “protect our dreams the way you once held them so tightly.”

“I'm proud of you. I'm grateful for everyone who walked this journey with us. And I will always be thankful for the little boy who started it all. We made it,” he concluded his post.
