MAXENE, MAY KONDISYON BAGO MAGKAANAK

Tinanong ng isang netizen si Maxene Magalona kung ano ang saloobin niya tungkol sa motherhood o pagkakaroon ng anak.

Tanong ng naturang netizen, “Soon you’ll be a mother. I want to know your thoughts on motherhood and how to deal with your kids?”

Matatandaang ikinasal si Maxene sa kanyang husband na si Rob Mananquil noong 2018, pero noong nakaraang taon ay inamin na ng actress na hiwalay na sila. Sa loob ng ilang taon na pagsasama nila ay hindi sila nabiyayaan ng mga anak.

Kaya’t ito ang naging mahabang sagot at paliwanag ni Maxene, “I don’t have kids but I would like to have just one when God feels it’s time. I actually didn’t want a kid before. But as I matured, I really had to sit with myself and ask my soul if I truly wanted a child."

Ayaw din daw niya na magpadala sa pressure dahil ang mga kasabayan niya ay may mga anak na, “Because I certainly don’t want another soul into this world unconsciously. I don’t want to have kids just because everyone else is doing it. I choose to move at my own pace. So, when I meditated on it, I realized that I would like a child for the sole purpose of passing on what I learned in my journey and make the child feel the kind of love and energy that I offer."

Kahit wala pa siyang anak ay binigyan pa rin niya ng advice ang naturang netizen, “I may not have a child yet but what I believe is that there is no one formula for parenting. We can read all the books we want and study how to raise kids but if we don’t do the inner work to heal, we will definitely have a hard time raising them."

Dagdag pa ni Maxene, “What I would do is heal and work on my energy because kids don’t follow what we say — they copy the way we behave. They absorb our energy. So, the best way for me to be a parent is to be super conscious so that I can work on myself everyday and be present and emotionally connected to my child.”

Suportado naman ni Iza Calzado ang ibinahaging saloobin ni Maxene. Aniya, “100%! So much we can talk about the next time we connect, my soul sister. Keep preparing, keep healing. God knows when to give you your best teacher.”

Bukod kay Iza, marami ring netizens ang sumang-ayon sa naging pahayag ni Maxene…

“I agree with you po. Dapat talaga ma-nurture muna natin ‘yung self natin bago natin isipin na magkaanak o mag-nurture ng iba. Healing our inner child and healing from all the traumas we’ve encountered is a different kind of satisfaction. How can we bring an innocent child in this world full of mess kung maski tayo ay nasa magulong estado ng buhay natin ngayon?!”

“Very true, kids are born pure and innocent; as time goes by, they become the mirror image of their parents. Just like sponges, they absorb everything they see and hear from us, their parents.

Everything is passed on, from one generation to another unless there is a conscious effort to change. Thus, healing is really important before one enters into a relationship, as Maxene has been reiterating it.”

Very true naman.
