Nadine Lustre thankful for Gawad Urian Best Actress win
21 Jun – Nadine Lustre recently took to social media to express her thoughts about her third Best Actress win for her performance in the 2018 movie, "Never Not Love You".
On 20 June, the actress, who didn't make an appearance to accept her award when she was named Best Actress at the Gawad Urian recently, published a long post, which read, "My journey has never been easy. For years, it felt like I was mindlessly walking on a dark misty road, with a heart full of doubt and hopelessness. Hard to believe that a person like me has so much self-doubt. I was afraid of failure, too.
"Big dreams, I almost abandoned because of fear. Us, people, are naturally allergic to negatives that might occur in our lives. Me, I hated them, too; until I was told a very valuable lesson in life. How do you know how good days are like if you have never had bad days?"
Lustre stated that one cannot identify happiness without knowing sadness, and that you wouldn't know the feeling of sweet success if you haven't failed your whole life.
"And so I've learned to conquer the bad and celebrate all the good. Keeping in mind that everything in life happens the way the universe orchestrates it. The universe really does work in mysterious ways. I swear, I gave up so many times and for some reason no matter how risky and impossible the road may seem, I needed to continue walking. I've always been one to question my purpose and now it's never been more clear."
She ended the post by thanking Gawad Urian for the honour.
Prior to the said awards, Lustre won Best Actress trophy for the movie at FAMAS and Young Critics Circle.
