Samantha Ruth Prabhu shares poignant note on self-acceptance and turning 30: ‘I stopped dragging around the weight of old mistakes’

The note continued to explore the idea of youthful life, transforming from a messy 20-year-old to a 30-year-old woman. ”My twenties were loud, restless. I spent them hurrying. Hurrying to look enough, to feel enough, to be enough. Hurrying to hold the façade together so no one would see how lost I felt inside. No one told me I was already whole. No one told me that love… real love… would find me as I was, without twisting myself into someone I was never meant to be.” She also wrote about her thirties, “Then came my thirties. Something softened. Something opened. I stopped dragging around the weight of old mistakes. I stopped trying to fit in. I stopped living two lives… the one I showed the world and the one I lived in silence.”

Samantha Ruth Prabhu concluded the note with a word of advice to her former self. “I wish her the kind of peace that comes when she stops running and finally comes home to herself. Because when you are fully yourself… without apology, without disguise… You don’t just free yourself. You set the whole world free.”
