Carla Abellana talks about self-love and healing in visual poem 'Mahinahon'

Carla Abellana talked about self-love and healing in her poem titled “Mahinahon.”

Uploaded as a video Tuesday, the piece tackled how she is now slowly building the other half that she lost amid pain and suffering.

“Nandito na ‘ko. Patuloy ang paghahanap, sarili ay muling tinatanggap. Nilalabanan ang luha tuwing gabi, pag-ngiti ay bakas na sa’king labi,” she recited.

“Ipinipiliy na ‘di na muling ipagkait ang pagmamahal sa sarili,” she added. “Nandito na ‘ko. Nag-iisa, marahang nabubuo, sinisikap na maging iisa ulit ang puso.”

“Mahinahon” came shortly after Carla released a set of daring photos, which were shot exactly a year after her wedding with Tom Rodriguez.

The pair tied the knot in October 2021. In June 2022, Tom revealed that they’ve already divorced.

In separate interviews done recently, the two admitted that it’s not easy to unlove someone. They are still both in the process of healing. —Franchesca Viernes/JCB, GMA Integrated News
