MANILA, Philippines — Actress Julia Barretto candidly opened up to her best friend Erich Gonzales and bared being in love with the “peace” she recently gained.
Gonzales cornered Barretto with various questions in a video blog titled “True or false with Julia Barretto,” which she recently uploaded on her YouTube channel.
“Julia is in love right now. True or false? Please answer,” Gonzales asked.
Barretto looked like she was taken aback.
“Wow. I would have to say, true. I am very much in love with the peace I gained just recently,” she said. “It’s not with anybody. I’m not trying to say that I’m not in love with anybody. I’m just in love with the peace that I gained,” Barretto said.
While Barretto did not mention any names, she said she had learned how to prioritize herself and let go of “toxic people.”
“Minsan may mga nakakasama ka na hindi mo na alam na iyon pala yung nag-di-disturb ng inner peace mo. There are some toxic people na you still entertain in the hopes na, sana hindi siya ‘yung nag-di-disturb ng peace mo,” Barretto said.
“Sometimes you have to come face-to-face with reality and with the fact na there are some people who really disturb that peace,” she added. “It takes a lot courage and strength to acknowledge that fact. Sometimes you have to choose ‘yung pangmatagalan, your own good, ‘yung nakakabuti sa soul mo.”
