Nadine Lustre’s birthday message to Isaiah, Message to fans going through depression

On Oct 12, Nadine shared two messages on Instagram. One meant especially for her brother Isaiah and the other for anyone going through difficult times.

Nadine’s message for her brother came with a series of Isaiah’s photos. In the beginning, she admires her brother for his talent with words saying how proud she is of him. She then said she would read every entry he had on his blog. She went on to say “I want to thank you for teaching everyone a very important lesson. Thank you for opening my eyes and making me braver. I know now that whatever challenge I will have to face, I will be able to pull through because of you. I’m gonna miss your face and miss hearing your corny joke. I wish you stayed with us longer. I am keeping my promise and we will still travel the world together. No more crying. Happy birthday, dude. Joyeux voyage, je t’aime frere (Happy journey, I love you brother).”

Nadine’s other message was meant for other people who are going through depression. JaDine’s hashtag #keepgoing has since gone trending since they first posted that semicolon. Nadine has been praised for her strength that amidst troubled times, she was still able to take time to raise awareness on depression and suicide. This message was to further encourage others who have gone through what she has gone through or are going through.

Nadine’s last lines in her message were, “Before you do something you will regret, think about all the great things that you can do in the future, people you will meet and places you travel to, the lives you will touch. I almost din it before and I’m so thankful that I didn’t do it, because if I did, I wouldn’t be living the life that I have now. Stay with us because life is beautiful. #keepgoing.” Check out Nadine’s full message below.

Both Nadine Lustre’s message to her brother Isaiah and fans earned thousands of likes in just hours of posting.

It may come as a surprise to you but I have struggled with depression way back and still am to this day. I have days where Im just sitting in the tub, asking myself a lot of questions, confused.. I felt like I was just looking in someone else's life through a window. Feeling bad cuz I am not enough and everything that I do and will do will never be enough. Its not easy. I have days when I have to put a mask on, smiling, numbing myself from negative emotions, too often I have already mastered the art of hiding it, I bet, you never even noticed it. Im thankful that Im blessed to have a strong heart and clear mind. Family who will always be my strength. Friends who will always pull me up. Love who will always guide me. if you ever hit rock bottom, dont be ashamed of opening up to your loved ones. if anyone understands and cares about what you're going through, its them. You are who/what you say you are. If you think you're weak, you will be weak. If you tell yourself you are not worthy, you will be unworthy. But, if you say you're strong, you will be strong and If you tell yourself you can do it, you can do anything. The ONLY validation that you will ever need is one from yourself. If you're HEARTBROKEN, cry it out, okay.. and then STOP. Pick yourself up and dust it off. He/She ain't the last person on earth. Trust me when I tell you that you will find someone else… meant for you and who will better you. I didn't believe that before either, but here I am now. DONT EVEN think about hurting yourself or taking your life just because you want the pain and sadness to stop. ITS OKAY to be sad. ITS OKAY to feel pain. ITS OKAY to be vulnerable. We are made to have emotions. Dont be afraid to let it out. Before you do something you will regret, think about all the great things that you can do in the future, people you will meet and places you travel to, the lives you will touch. I almost did it before and Im so thankful that I didn't do it, because If I did, I wouldn't be living the life that I have now. Stay with us because life is beautiful. #KeepGoing ;
