Maxene Magalona, an actress, just talked about the art of letting go and how it is considered to be a "medicine for the soul" on social media.

On Thursday, May 30, Maxene penned a powerful message about her stance on divorce and toxic relationships, saying, "We deserve a divorce."

According to Maxene, when people get married, they do it by taking a risk, saying that people don't get married with a guarantee it will work.

"Letting go is medicine for the soul. Because it’s #MentalHealthAwareness month, I would like to share some of my thoughts on the importance of walking away from toxic relationships that are detrimental to our mental health. When people get married, they do it by taking a risk. We don’t get married with a guarantee that the relationship will truly work. We just pray that it will. Almost everyone shows their best selves before marriage and after they get married, their true colors start to show. When we begin to see the cracks and issues that arise in the relationship, we exhaust all efforts to try to make it work for the sake of the marriage," she said.

According to Maxene, marriages, while being a sacred union, can also turn into a toxic and traumatic bond that affects the children.

"The marriage that is supposed to be a sacred union turns into a toxic and traumatic bond. And what’s worse is that they think that having kids will solve everything. When the kids come, the problems are still there and they end up fighting in front of the children which leaves them traumatized and mentally damaged," she wrote.

By the end of her post, Maxene said she wrote her message to show support and empathy to the Filipinos who are trapped in toxic marriages.

"I am writing this to show my support and empathy for all of the Filipinos who feel trapped in toxic marriages and can’t find a way out—especially the ones who are experiencing abuse on a daily basis. Being forced to stay in a relationship that diminishes your self-worth will make you think less and less of yourself until you don’t know yourself anymore," she wrote before adding, "We deserve divorce."
