“Napakalaking blessing na natapos na ‘yon. Malaking blessing na nagising na ako sa nightmare na ‘yon and I walked away kasi hindi talaga worth it,” she said.
“It wasn’t worth wasting my time, energy sa someone na kino-control ka, mina-manipulate ka. That kind of life drains you and you lose yourself in the process. Hindi mo gugustuhin talaga ‘yong gano’ng klaseng buhay,” she added.

Yen said choosing herself over the person was the best decision she made.
“The person I met in the beginning, that wasn’t really him. The one I saw in the end, ‘yon talaga siya," she said.
“Siyempre sa una, hindi naman ‘yan magpapakilala ng totoong pagkatao nila eh. Gagawin nila lahat para makuha ‘yong loob mo tapos kapag nakuha na 'yung loob mo, unti-unti na ‘yan. Doon na lalabas ‘yong totoong pagkatao nila.
“Ang mahalaga tapos na and mas maayos ang takbo ng buhay ngayon.”
Yen then apologized to the people who got hurt in her last relationship.
“Para po doon sa mga taong nasaktan ko noong mga panahon na ‘yon, I am so sorry. Wala po akong excuse doon. Mali po talaga ako. Nagkamali po ako,” she said. — Video from Yen Santos YouTube channel
