Lupita Nyong’o currently feels like escaping into her shadow to hide.
She is not enjoying the experience of the love turned sour between her and her boyfriend, TV host and sports commentator, Selema Masekela..
Lupita has hints that the reason for the separation is “deception”.
The Oscar winner in an emotional Instagram post that suggested she was referencing her relationship wrote that she was sharing her “personal truth” about someone she could “no longer trust.”
“I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception. I am tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I have regained my strength enough for me to say, “Whatever, my life is better this way”.
But I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love. And so, I am choosing to face the pain, cultivating the courage to meet my life exactly as it is, and trusting that this too shall pass.
“The promise, they say, is that a tender heart is what gives birth to fearlessness. I hope it’s true… I share this to keep it and hoping that the knowledge of my experience might be useful to someone else out there experiencing the grip of heartbreak who is poised to try and escape from the pain and miss out on the wisdom that comes from it. #Breakup“, her Instagram post reads.
Many other celebrities and fans took to her comment section under her post with warm messages of encouragement.
