Shakira Opens Up: Life After the Split
When asked about her current state of happiness, the 46-year-old singer responded with poignant introspection.
“It’s a very short question for a very long answer,” Shakira expressed. “I don’t think everyone has access to happiness. It’s reserved for a very select number of people, and I can’t say I’m part of the club at this moment.” Despite experiencing a revitalization in her music career, Shakira found herself grappling with the complexity of her emotional state.
Shakira’s recent achievements in the music industry have been noteworthy. She was honored with the Video Vanguard Award at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, becoming the first South American artist to receive this prestigious recognition. Additionally, she stands as one of the top nominees for the upcoming 2023 Latin Grammy Awards.
However, Shakira doesn’t shy away from acknowledging the profound impact of her personal life on her emotional well-being. She shared, “Nothing can compensate for the pain of destroying a family.
Of course, I have to keep going for my children’s sake; that’s my greatest motivation. But my biggest dream, more than collecting platinum albums and Grammys, was to raise my sons with their father, overcome obstacles, and grow old together. I know I’m not getting that now.”
Despite the challenges she has faced, Shakira sees a glimmer of hope on the horizon. She has channeled her emotions into her music, breaking numerous Guinness World Records along the way.
She firmly believes that life offers silver linings to offset its hardships. She reflected, “From there, my music has also taken new flight, and I suppose that’s the way life compensates. You subtract on one end and add on the other. It’s pure mathematics. In my ninth life, I’ll tell you what the total is.”
