“Pilipinas Got Talent” judge Kathryn Bernardo recently opened up about experiencing a quarter-life crisis as she approached her 29th birthday on March 26. Her openness struck a chord with many, somehow shedding light on the internal struggles that come with adulthood and personal growth.

It was at the presscon for “Pilipinas Got Talent” when Kathryn was asked about the bravest thing she has done for herself lately and part of her answer was the admission that she was facing a quarter-life crisis.

“The bravest thing I’ve done for myself… I don’t know… I’m turning 29, right, in a few days, so I’m at the point in my life again wherein I feel so lost. I felt this, I remember, when I gave a message for our thanksgiving party for ‘The Hows of Us’ (in 2018). This was the same feeling. I didn’t expect na ma-feel ko ulit ito,” the Kapamilya star shared.

“Maybe it’s part of, you know, adulting and growing, and I’m feeling it now, just like everybody else. I don’t know kung nararamdaman ito talaga kapag medyo ganitong age ka na, but it’s hitting me hard. To be honest, I’m so scared. I’m so lost.”

“But, I think, it’s so brave that every day, I show up… I show up and I choose to grow and accept all the uncertainties. Because, I don’t know, I just suddenly felt it, of course, after ‘Hello, Love, Again’ and now I’m doing ‘PGT.’ Pero may feeling lang ako na parang iba, I think birthday blues na ito. May quarter-life crisis na parang, ‘What’s next for me?’” she reflected.
