That you should be healed, perfect and happy all the time. This is not what healing is about,” she wrote.</p><p>The 36-year-old actress added that feeling all kinds of emotions during the healing process is natural. Maxene shared with her followers that they should acknowledge everything and not rush into just the happy moments in life.</p><p>“Healing happens when you can allow yourself to feel all your emotions, including the negative ones. When you can finally accept that sometimes, your eyes will look sad and that’s okay. It’s all about acknowledging and accepting what you’re feeling instead of denying or suppressing it,” she added.</p><p>Maxene chose not to be affected by the negative comments about her eyes and revealed that she would rather pray for those who scroll “mindlessly on social media” instead.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/5/4/maxene-magalona-on-her-tattoos-it-reminds-you-of-the-pain-that-you-went-through-1238" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Maxene Magalona on her tattoos: ‘It reminds you of the pain that you went through’</strong></a></div><p>“Healing is a very sacred process that must be honored and never rushed. Please take your time and don’t worry about other people’s opinions. You are doing the necessary inner work while they are on their phones scrolling mindlessly on social media and leaving nasty comments. Pray for them,” she continued.</p><p>The Kapamilya actress has been vocal about her healing journey on social media and has been receiving all kinds of support from her loved ones and her fans. Previously, she wrote about how tough her journey was as she would be losing friends along the way. </p><p>“As you continue to do the inner work everyday to process your pain, heal your wounds and transform yourself, you will inevitably change your energy. While this is very good and healthy for you, it may not be a favorable outcome for the people in your life — especially those who prefer the old version of you,” she previously said.</p>
