On Instagram, Camille joined the viral trend and penned a heartfelt message to her younger self.
“Me hugging my younger self brought a wave of emotions 🥹 and if I would have the chance to talk to her, I’d say, we did good. 🥹,” Camille wrote.
Reflecting on her journey, Camille shared the lessons she wished to impart to her childhood self:
“Time will come that you will go through challenges and trials, you might think that you won’t be able to go through it but you will. Keep pressing on. You will make unwise decisions, you can always get back up by making right choices,” she expressed.
The actress also reminded her younger self to keep her faith stronger and assured her that she will be a great wife and loving mom in the future.
