While clarifying that she bears no grudges, Heart reflected on moving forward from past conflicts. “There are some things I feel that, you know, okay naman tayo, eh. Wala namang ganoon. But again, you have to go on with your life. You know, I am in a moment again in my life where I am so grateful for what I have. I do not question what happened. In fact, I feel like all of this, you have to get to the next chapter of your life. You will never be able to get to that next chapter if you have certain people with you. And so because of that, I’m actually thankful that these things happen… But that’s done. And truly, I’m thankful. I’m thankful to each and every person.”

When Abunda pressed her about finding closure with her former glam team, Heart admitted the experience was difficult. “Yes, in the most painful way. Nagpapakatotoo lang tayo. There are some people that you’ve allowed to enter your life. Not just friends, but even lovers in your past. For you to be strangers is very painful. You’ve shown them your heart and along showing them your heart comes your deepest, darkest secrets. For some people to take that chop that up and sell it to people, it’s very painful… But all I know is… I am who I am because of everything,” she said.
