Natasha Wilona Reflects on Her Teenage Years, Admits She Was Once a Kid Living Happily Without Burdens

"Back then, we were still somewhat considered kids, right? In our teenage years, sometimes when I look back at myself, I think, 'I used to be like that,'" said Wilona when met in the Kelapa Gading area of North Jakarta recently.

Wilona does not deny that adolescence is an important phase in the maturation process of every person. She admits to often hearing her mother's advice about the life journey that must be taken.

"But as my mom says, that is the phase of a person's life. They will go through their teenage years, make mistakes, rise up, become more mature until they finally become adults. So, I feel that what happened in the past is indeed a phase of life that I had to go through," she said.

According to her, the past is not something to be regretted, but rather a reminder that she once was at a different point. "I’m not embarrassed, just more like, wow, I used to be like this, oh it turns out it was like this," she said with a small laugh.

Happiness back then was measured by simple things, making everything feel light and unburdened. "What's important is that I am happy, my family is happy, I can go on vacation abroad, I can date, just being happy. It's that simple. So it seems like when people say, what is it, living without burdens, right?" Wilona explained.

"The me from five years ago, yeah, I played more, relaxed more, I mean like what using filming and other things. But for me, my life priority is just myself," she said.

As a public figure who grew up in the entertainment world since her teenage years, Wilona is aware that many parties have witnessed her journey from the beginning of her career. She considers that journey inseparable from who she is now.
