SA edad niyang 51, natutunan na rin ni Gretchen Barretto ang maging manhid sa lahat ng kanegahang ibinabato sa kanya ng mga bashers sa social media.
Ibang-iba na raw ang pananaw niya ngayon sa buhay lalo na pagdating sa mga paninira at pang-iinsulto ng ibang tao laban sa kanya.
Na-realize niya na habang nagkakaedad siya ay mas lumalawak ang pang-unawa at pag-intindi ng isang tao sa mga bagay-bagay sa kanyang buhay at kaganapan sa kapaligiran.
“Love or hate, I welcome it all naman, which we don’t live naman for the approval of people. We don’t live for okay, you know, bashers. That doesn’t bother me anymore. I’m 51,” pahayag ni Gretchen sa chikahan nila ng beauty doctor na si Aivee Teo.
Aminado naman si Greta na noong bata-bata pa siya ay talagang madali siyang maapektuhan ng mga intriga at tsismis sa showbiz at talagang pumapatol din siya sa mga haters.
“When I was so much younger, yes, they used to, because I lived in a world where I felt all that they thought of me or their opinion would matter, but not anymore.
“I’m 51, I mean you know, really? How can all your opinion just matter?
“Parang I learned to live like ‘okay, I know, I know, I know everything I do is going to matter to them,’” paliwanag pa ng aktres.
Nabanggit din ni Gretchen na napakalaki ng naitulong sa kanya ng partner na si Tonyboy Cojuangco para mas matutunan pa niya ang “art of dedma” o ang pambabalewala sa mga “negatron” sa social media na walang ginawa sa buhay kundi ang mam-bully ng kapwa.
“I remember you know, it was a long time ago when my mom had like opinions on me at that time and I was really terribly distraught and Tony just told me one thing.
“Because he felt like I was really going to go you know downhill and then he said, ‘Okay, baba, (tawagan nila ng kanyang partner) I’ll ask you one question because I was getting really depressed, he goes, ‘Will it matter? Will your life change?’” chika ni Greta.
“He’s really good at that and then I said ‘No. No, not really.’ Then he said ‘Well then, will the opinion of others change your life?’
“And I said ‘Now it does’ then he goes ‘But for long and then in the future?’ I said ‘No, really I can hid here at home or wherever.’ Then he said, ‘Exactly, what do you feel now, that you know that it won’t really affect your life. Then he said to me ‘Then why are you bothered?’
“Then, it opened my life. I learned, oo nga no, I mean do they have control of my life, my lifestyle or anything else in my life,” paliwanag pa ng aktres.
Sa tanong kung ano ang pinakamahalagang life lesson ang natutunan niya nitong mga nagdaang taon, sabi ni Gretchen, “Whatever the situation is, I learned whatever you accept, is what it will be.”
Aniya pa, “That’s why I really welcome and totally embrace aging because as you age, comes wisdom.”
