"Kahit gaano mo kagustong kumawala sa iyong nakaraan at iyong pinagmulan, babalik at babalik ka din doon. Kung hindi ka man pumaroon muli, animo'y kambal mu padin itong iyong kasaysayan saan mang pagtungo mo dahil hindi ka nito lulubayan. Hawak-kamay kung kayo'y sundo. Posas naman ang katapat ng iyo kung pasakit ang naging pamamalakad mo o naging paglakad sa iyo. Kahit anu pa man, matutong matuto mula sa iyong karanasan."
-- quote inspired from Kayla (ANTM Cycle 15) who confessed in one episode that she was sexually assaulted for a year-and-a-half when she was just 11. The last thing she wanted to do was to tell any soul about this, even to her mother. But she had to tell the truth to the creative director of the program when her attention was called since she was obviously uncomfortable at the set. The task was to shoot a commercial for a particular product and the models were required to make intimate gestures with a man towards the end of the act. This absolutely refreshed the awful experience Kayla had back in the days and made her horrified.
I commend what the director said to Kayla.
He said though the experience might be hurtful and seemingly traumatic, she has to deal with it. Never let that thing of the past stop her from booking those jobs because if she does, she will suffer the rest of her life.
