Recently, Shakira gave a TV interview to Mexican journalist Enrique Acevedo, talking about recent life and reflections on past experiences.
"I used to believe in the story of a woman who needs a man to make herself complete, and I used to have a family, under one roof with children and parents. But not all dreams about life will come true, it will make up for you in other ways, and I think my two children have compensated for this. ”
"Now I recognize that it's an allegory that a woman has to need a man, because I used to be very emotionally dependent on men, and I have to admit that. I've always believed in love, and I understood its point of view from another story, but I've had enough now. ”
"When a woman has to face setbacks in life, she becomes stronger because you know how to face your weaknesses, accept your vulnerability, express your feelings, and that's a pain. But many people have told me that the opposite of depression is expression, which I never thought about. ”
After ending a 12-year relationship with Pique , Shakira admitted: "Although contradictory, now I feel that I am complete, I have to rely on myself, and I have two children who depend on me, so I have to be stronger than the lioness." Such a power is real and not superficial, it must be the result of having fought battles, being accepted, understanding and enduring setbacks, and there are things in life that will not go your way. Some dreams are shattered, but you have to get up and rebuild yourself. ”
Speaking about the recent hit single, Shakira said that the music has healed her: "It's much more effective than getting counseling." Without this song, I would be in a very different state, without the opportunity to express myself, to reflect on the pain, because after experiencing heartbreak, betrayal, emptiness, disappointment, you have to digest it. ”
"Milan and Sasha (two sons) are the best art advisors, they have good ideas and judgment, I always listen to them. It was Milan who encouraged me to work with Argentine DJ Bizarrap. ”
Shakira admits that 2022 has been disastrous for her, but still receives support from a fan audience: "They gave me the strength and courage to stand up when I was at a low point. I'm ready to let life tell me what else is there. ”
