On Saturday, Celina shared some glamorous pictures on Instagram. In the caption, she wrote, “#healing If you see me… If you see me living happily, eating my favourite food, smiling in a beautiful dress… just let me be. You didn’t see the nights I cried alone. You didn’t see the days I felt completely empty. You don’t know how many times I almost gave up on myself. I fought quiet battles no one noticed. I learned how to survive on my own.”

Celina concluded, “When you start becoming your best self… life has a way of opening the right doors for you. And yes… you will still cry at night. But that’s okay. Crying is not weakness… it is release. And one day… the tears will dry 🤍✨ From my lips to God’s ears.”
