Hypeness

Aos 10 anos, a modelo Sara Geurts foi diagnosticada com síndrome de Ehlers-Danlos. A condição afeta os vasos da pele, das articulações e do sangue, inibindo a produção de colágeno. Graças a isso, Sara parece muito mais velha do que realmente é.

Mesmo tendo apenas 26 anos, a doença fez com que sua pele desenvolvesse rugas prematuras, o que a deixava bastante insegura em relação à sua aparência. Porém, há dois anos Sara decidiu que iria entrar na luta contra os padrões de beleza – e está sendo muito bem sucedida nessa tarefa.

Ela, que é natural de Minnesota e vive em Los Angeles, nos Estados Unidos, compartilhou sua história pela primeira vez em 2015 através da campanha “Love Your Lines” – um projeto que exaltava as diferentes aparências que as mulheres podem ter. Na época, sua história recebeu 25 mil curtidas, segundo contou em um vídeo gravado para o canal do Youtube Barcroft TV (veja abaixo).

Através do Instagram, Sara segue compartilhando sua história e inspirando outras pessoas a não se ater aos padrões de beleza irreais ao mostrar que sua pele também pode ser linda. Ela é seguida de perto por mais de 5 mil pessoas na rede social, onde posta novidades sobre sua vida e sua carreira como modelo.

"Your going to meet people who are intimidated by you. You're different. People don't know how to react or how to accept someone who doesn't follow the crowd… They are not used to somone who doesn't try to fit in — So instead of bolstering your uniqueness, they'll try and make you feel like you're weird or damaged. I'm here to offer some well earned advice : Screw them." 💕 • • • • • • • • #week #thursday #tbt #throwback #latergram #instaphoto #sorrynotsorry #victoriassecret #qotd #ehlersdanlosawareness #ehlersdanlossyndrome #effyourbeautystandards #inmyskiniwin #mybeautymyway #loveyourbody #loveyourlines #selflove #nowrongway #beyou #bebeautiful #perfectlyimperfect #blessed #inspire #embrace #happy #vibes #model #wlyg #weloveyourgenes
