Mga Lihim ni Urduja star Kylie Padilla got a bit real with her Instagram followers as she shows her appreciation for the life she's currently living.

The Sparkle star posted a photo of her blossoming self on the social media platform and wrote in the caption, “My safe home for my kids, my health, my work (projects BETCIN, BOLERA and now MGA LIHIM NI URDUJA.) And now UNRAVEL, which is now part of MMFF, were all just dreams I wrote in the stars. Kanina pa ako emotional about how thankful I am. How grateful. Akala ko talaga huli na for me. But God is good. thank you for still believing in me.”

Kylie also mustered up the courage to open up about her pregnancy and said, “3 years ago, in December just before the pandemic I had given birth to my 2nd baby boy Axl. Such a blessing, my ray of sunshine. But 3 years ago I was diagnosed with post partum depression and post partum anxiety. The chemistry in my body was out of my control, hormonal fluctuations took a toll on my emotional journey. Complications from birth hindered me from taking care of my kids.”

“I've never opened up about this but I was in constant pain, constant doubt of my future, if my body would ever recover, if I could even stand or walk properly ever again. I had to learn to muster the strength to trust that my body would heal, that I would regain my strength again because it killed me to accept that I had no choice but to trust the care of my kids to someone else. Nothing was in my control. I missed my kids. But I had to rest to be able to take care of them,” she further explains.

The Sparkle star admits the pandemic pushed her to the brink of almost breaking.

She shared, “I was a celebrity but what did that even mean? I had gained so much weight, I was now a mother, I was no longer the person I used to be. Was there any kind of future left for me? So many doubts, an aching body.”

After all the hardships, Kylie believed the universe somehow paved a way for her and led her to where she is now.

“Today I wake up. I ask myself, what about now? I have a safe home for my kids, work that I'm proud of and one by one my dreams are becoming my reality. After all my doubt, pain, and fighting the silent battles, fighting my own psyche for the right to be happy, I'm here. Still growing, still learning but always striving to remain grounded in humility,” she said

By the end, Kylie reminded everyone that life is a cycle and no one will get stuck in a bad place. She finally said, “Be in the moment but don't be swept away from it. Live in your authenticity. Repair when you can. Laugh or make someone laugh and last but not least celebrate yourself. You deserve it.”
