In the latest episode of Heart World—Heart Evangelista’s new series that gives us a front-row seat to her glamorous, drama-filled life—the style icon takes viewers on a tour of her Paris apartment, a place that she’d once dreamed of and purchased a few years back.
However, it wasn’t an easy, effortless purchase. To make this dream happen, Heart revealed that she sold a significant portion of her personal art and cherished pieces of jewelry.
Heart Evangelista on How She Got Her Dream Paris Apartment
While some might assume that someone with Heart’s status could just pack up and move to Paris on a whim, the reality is that she put in a lot of effort and discipline to make it happen. “Nanginginig na mga kamay ko kaka-paint. Nag benta ako ng alahas. Kung ano ano na ginawa ko para ma-achieve ko 'to,” she said. She is, however, open about the privileges she grew up with, explaining, “Don’t get me wrong, ina-acknowledge ko talaga 'yung idea na pinanganak akong privileged. Pero siyempre dinidisiplina din kami.”
Heart went on to share, “Spoiled kami in a sense na lahat binibigay sa amin pero talagang sobrang thankful ako na 'yung tatay ko magaling din siyang mag-disiplina.”
Despite her upbringing, she’s carried her family’s values of gratitude and hard work into her adult life. “Kailangan maging thankful ka kung anong mayroon ka. Kailangan hardworking ka. Iyon ang dala-dala ko, na kung may gusto ka, kailangang pagtrabahuan mo 'yon,” she said. “Kailangan 'yung talagang alam mo na deserve mo bago mo siya makuha.”
Heart also got real about her struggles with imposter syndrome, a feeling so many of us can relate to. She admitted, “But as time goes by, I give myself a tap on the back na sinasabi ko sa 'yo na you deserve it because hindi mo lang ito pinaghirapan, halos makipaglaban ka para dito.”
