Catriona Gray looks back on Miss Universe win: '3 years ago today, my dreams came true'
Catriona Gray looked back on her glorious victory when she won the Miss Universe crown three years ago.
In an Instagram post on Friday, the Miss Universe 2018 titleholder shared photos of her Miss Universe journey — from her winning moment to her random mirror selfies backstage.
"Crazy to think that 3 years ago today my dreams came true," Catriona wrote. "And I'm infinitely proud to have represented and brought pride to my country."
Catriona also opened up about how the years since her reign ended in December 2019 have been a "rollercoaster."
"And I know I'm not alone in feeling like I've lost time. Time with loved ones - lost. Plans have been canceled. Dreams delayed. Collectively, we have faced adversities and challenges. But I want to encourage you," she said.
"Behind every hindrance is an opportunity. Behind every closed door, is one that is set aside, just for you, waiting to be opened. Behind every perceived denial, is a redirection. In God's perfect time, dreams come true. Please, just never, ever give up in the pursuit of your purpose," she added.
Since winning the Miss Universe crown in 2018, Catriona has pursued many other paths and continued her advocacies.
Last October, the beauty queen continued her music career and released her first self-written song titled "Love Language." —Kaela Malig/JCB, GMA News
