Orlando Bloom shared a collection of reflective quotes on his Instagram Story on Wednesday (July 2), following his split from Katy Perry.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star reposted several introspective messages during the day, highlighting feelings of "loneliness" and "darkness" in the words of Swiss psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung.
"Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate that seem important to oneself," one quote read. Another zoomed in on the balance between happiness and sadness.
"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." A third and final quote spoke to those who feel more connected to past events they've experienced than to the people they might become in the future.
"We are not what happened to us. We are what we choose to become."
Just last week, TMZ broke the news that Bloom and the "California Gurls" icon ended their engagement after nearly a decade together. The former couple share 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, and plan to maintain a healthy coparenting relationship moving forward.
"They are still very much in touch and coparenting Daisy together. Orlando brought Daisy to meet Katy on tour before heading to the Bezos’ wedding. It’s not messy between them. They aren’t making drastic changes for Daisy’s sake. They will keep their lives in Montecito. They are prioritizing stability and consistency for Daisy," US Weekly reported.
