On Wednesday, the Colombian singer sat down for an interview with Enrique Acevedo of Canal Estrellas, which was done in Spanish, and reflected on the process of learning to feel whole on her own for the first time.
“I must admit that throughout my whole life, I’ve had a significant emotional dependence [on males].
I was head over heels for love “Shakira, who is 46 years old, disclosed to the presenter that she formerly had the belief that a woman need the companionship of a male in order to feel whole.
“I’ve managed to learn it from another viewpoint and believe that I’ll be alright on my own,” she added, “when a woman goes through [troubles] in her life, she emerges more powerful than before. To emerge from adversity in a stronger position indicates that you have acquired the capacity to acknowledge and accept your own frailties and vulnerabilities.”
