said the Colombian singer Shakira She now depends on herself and has to be strong for her two children, after her split from former Spanish footballer Gerard Pique, last year.
In an interview she gave to journalist Enrique Acevedo on his program “En Punto” on the network (Televisa) on Monday, the 46-year-old singer said, “There are dreams that are shattered and you have to pick up the wreckage and rebuild yourself.”
These are Shakira’s first statements after her separation from the father of her two children, Milan and Sasha, with whom she signed an agreement last December to obtain custody of the two children and move with them to Miami, Florida, USA.
And the Colombian singer stressed that for this strength to be real and not a facade, “it must be a force born of a painful experience, to accept this experience, to understand it, to bear the frustration that results from it, and to know that there are things in life that do not go as one wants.”
The success of her “separatist” songs
Regarding the success and controversy caused by the song “La Sesión #53”, which she recorded in collaboration with Argentinian Bizarab and included implicit criticism of her former romantic partner, the singer stated that this work allowed her to find an opportunity to vent and express her feelings, stressing that this matter changed her life.
“I entered the studio in one case and left it in another,” she said.
It’s one of the things I’m grateful to Pisa for, having that chance to vent my feelings and it was a really nice catharsis and also necessary for my recovery… I think I’d be somewhere else if it wasn’t for this song.”
Shakira confirmed that The opposite of depression is the expression of feelings..
Especially, “I had a dream to have a family where the children have a father and a mother under one roof. Not all dreams come true in life, but life finds a way to compensate you in some way and I think it did that with me more than I expected by giving me these two children.”
