Dimples Romana admits being ‘more emotional’ as she turns 42
Someone, Someday actress Dimples Romana took to social media to share a heartfelt reflection as she celebrated her 42nd birthday.
On her Instagram page, Dimples looked back on the blessings and challenges she has experienced over the years, admitting that this year’s celebration felt more emotional and meaningful.
“42. A lifetime of undeserved grace. 🤍✨ This birthday feels different. A little more emotional, a lot more meaningful,” the actress first wrote.
The actress described the past year as a wonderful season, expressing gratitude for her career, family, and the strength they have found in overcoming life’s challenges.
“Looking back, I see God’s faithfulness in every season—a steady and enduring career, a family that finds joy in the simplest things, and a life that has weathered storms we once thought we wouldn’t survive. Yet here we are, still together, still grateful, still blessed beyond what we deserve,” she said.
However, turning 42 also brought back memories of her late father, Papa Bong, whom she has always looked up to.
“But turning 42 holds a deeper meaning for me. My Papa Bong, whom I’ve looked up to all my life, passed away just two weeks before his 42nd birthday. And now, I am about to celebrate the age he never got to reach. It humbles me to realize that every year I get to live from here on is a bonus year my Papa never had the chance to enjoy,” she said.
The actress added that the experience has made her see growing older differently, shifting her focus from counting the years to appreciating the blessings that come with them.
“Suddenly, growing older feels less like counting years and more like counting blessings. More time to love my family, make memories, embrace the ordinary, and appreciate the beautiful gift of simply being alive,” she stated.
As she welcomes another year, Dimples shared that she is not wishing for a perfect life but hopes to continue living with gratitude and purpose.
“At 42, I don’t wish for a perfect life. I only pray for a grateful heart, a life lived with intention, and the wisdom to never take time for granted. 42 years of undeserved grace. And everything from here on, a beautiful bonus. Thank You Father God, for bringing me this far. 🤍,” she said.
She ended her birthday message with a touching dedication to her late father: “Papa, this chapter is for you. 🕊️✨”
Dimples shared photos from her birthday shoot, where she posed in a brown outfit while riding a horse and spending time inside a barn.
In a separate birthday post, the actress reflected on discovering the beauty and strength she has always carried within herself.
“42. ✨ And I’m finally understanding that the magic of the cosmos has been within me all along. In the way I love, the grace I’ve been given, the storms I’ve survived, and the light I continue to find,” she stated.
She went on: “I was never meant to chase the magic. I was meant to recognize it from within. ✨ Here’s to living more freely, loving more deeply, and becoming more of who I was always meant to be. 🤍”
