Ruru Madrid admits to feeling self-doubt but reading appreciative comments helps him deal with it
As Ruru Madrid turned 23 years old, the Kapuso actor took to Instagram write an honest self-reflection, admitting to sometimes feeling self-doubt and expressing gratitude to his loved ones and his fans for helping him deal with it.
"This year has been the most challenging so far para sa lahat and as I celebrated my birthday yesterday, hindi ko mapigilan na magkaroon ng mixed emotions," Ruru began his caption that accompanied a photo of himself during sunset.
According to Ruru, he "somehow felt guilty celebrating it with my loved ones knowing na marami din ang nagdanas ng kahirapan sa mga nangyari ngayong taon."
But he simply couldn't ignore all that's he's been given. "Amidst the pandemic, hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip how blessed I am to be given a lot of chances and opportunities to hone my craft, improve my skills, and share these para magbigay ng saya at inspirasyon," he said.
He then continued and thanked his loved ones and fans who have been by his side supporting him to reach his dreams. Ruru also thanked the family he found inside the entertainment industry, the people who have been helping him with his journey as an actor.
"Thank you dahil hindi kayo nagsasawang turuan ako para mas pagbutihin ang aking trabaho bilang aktor. I will always be proud to be a part of this industry," he wrote.
Ruru admitted to sometimes feeling self-doubt, but each supportive and appreciate comment he gets on social media helps him deal with it, he said.
"Sometimes, I doubt myself, pero every time I read comments sa social media appreciating what I am doing, nawawala lahat ng pagod at duda; dahil alam kong kahit ano ang mangyari, I will always have you," he said.
According to PEP.ph, Ruru celebrated his birthday at the Madrid Summer House, Antipolo last Friday.
The report said some of his friends including Andre Paras, Lexi Gonzales, and his sister Rere Madrid were present at the event but Ruru's rumored girlfriend Bianca Umali wasn't able to attend since she was in a lock-in taping for the series "Legal Wives."
