Sooner or later, she realized that the world is not a bad place with bad people, but it is an interesting place with all sorts of people. She further revealed that the world can be a nice place with a broader perspective on life. 

Earlier, Sherlyn explained that she started making healthier choices in life by opting to quit smoking and regularly working out to build muscle mass and feel strong. She reportedly said that there is no human on this earth who has never felt hurt, betrayed, rejected, misunderstood, in some or the other way. As humans, the actress feels that people are bound to undergo different kinds of emotions depending on the circumstances they are in. She concluded the interview and said that to rise above the circumstances, people need to understand that nothing in life is permanent. People should realize that life actually is 99% mental and just 1% physical, which makes it more mandatory for people to be happier.
