Μοντέλο με λεύκη αποκαλύπτει το αληθινό της πρόσωπο μετά από 10 χρόνια και στέλνει ένα δυνατό μήνυμα

Η Breanne Rice είναι μοντέλο, έχει πάρει μέρος σε αρκετά τηλεοπτικά shows, μοιάζει ένα κορίτσι της μόδας σαν όλα τα άλλα, κάπως επιπόλαιο και επικριτικό με την εξωτερική εμφάνιση των άλλων. Όμως, όχι μόνο δεν είναι έτσι, αλλά εδώ και 10 χρόνια η Rice έκανε την επαγγελματική της διαδρομή κρύβοντας την αλήθεια που είχε να πει το πρόσωπο της και που αν δεν την κάλυπτε επιμελώς με make up – κάθε ώρα, κάθε στιγμή – θα είχε μείνει χωρίς δουλειά.

Γιατί η Rice στα 19 της ενημερώθηκε ότι πάσχει από λεύκη και από τότε μπήκε στη διαδικασία να «κρύβεται» και να καμουφλάρει τους «λεκέδες», όπως τους αποκαλούσε, για να μπορεί να δουλεύει.

Μέχρι πριν από λίγο καιρό που αποφάσισε όχι μόνο ότι αγαπά τον εαυτό της ακριβώς όπως είναι, αλλά και να στείλει ένα δυνατό μήνυμα μέσω Instagram σε όσους πάσχουν από λεύκη, αποκαλύπτοντας όσα έκανε τα τελευταία χρόνια και το πώς πραγματικά είναι.  Από τότε, όλες οι φωτογραφίες της στο μέσο κοινωνικής δικτύωσης - ή τουλάχιστον οι περισσότερες - είναι χωρίς μακιγιάζ, ως μία απόδειξη ότι έχει αποδεχθεί τον εαυτό της και νιώθει πραγματικά καλά. 

At 19, I was diagnosed with vitiligo, and it spread rapidly causing me to lose over half of the pigment on my face. Yeah. Not the bottom of my foot or my arm..but ONLY on my face. I got really good at doing my makeup, and I didn't want anyone to know about it. I couldn't look in the mirror without crying, and feeling unattractive. When I am exposed to the sun, it tans my healthy skin and leaves my vitiligo even more noticeable. It's taken me a very long time to be able to go public with this, and to walk around publicly without any makeup. Why? Because it's my face. Although I would like to say I am super confident and it never gets to me, sometimes it does. Some days people make comments saying "what happened to your face?!" Sometimes if I have a crush on someone I am worried about them seeing me without makeup and worry that they won't think I'm cute. It's like ohh hey by the way..this is the real me underneath all this. You know what though, I own it. There's not much I can do about it. I can only love myself, and not let my circumstances define my value or self-worth. What is the definition of beautiful anyway? Is it being perfect? What do you see when you look in the mirror? Perhaps you have a circumstance or something about yourself that you are insecure about. Don't let it define you. You deserve love, and you are beautiful ? #vitiligo #beauty #perfect #seattle #health #holistic #nutrition #inspire #encourage #love #selfworth #loveyourself #digestion #autoimmune #vitiligoselfie #vitiligolove #vitiligobeauties #healing #healthyskin #skin #pigment #inspiring #inspirational #vitiligo #love #selflove #beauty

Όπως η ίδια γράφει, η πάθηση εκδηλωνόταν επιθετικά μόνο στο πρόσωπο της, ενώ μια απλή βόλτα στον ήλιο επιδείνωνε το πρόβλημα. "Μην αφήνετε να σας καθορίσει μία κατάσταση ή κάτι επάνω σας που σας κάνει να νιώθετε ανασφαλείς. Αξίζει αγάπη και είστε όμορφοι", έγραψε η Rice.

No one can be you but YOU✨ Embrace what makes you different and unique #vitiligo

?Good morning from Arizona! I feel so blessed to be able to wake up to this beautiful view! One of the hardest things about warm climates like this is making sure my vitiligo(which I only have on my face) doesn't get extreme sun exposure. I have no pigment, so it will burn from sun exposure, which makes it quite painful and can be embarrassing at times. This also makes it very noticeable because I have an olive skin tone and it tans the areas around that have healthy pigment. This was hard to accept at first, but it's what I have to do when the sun comes around. To be honest, I use to fear warm vacations because it made it nearly impossible to hide my vitiligo on my face and I'd just end up sweating it off. I've been enjoying this trip more than any of my other trips because I'm the most comfortable I've ever been being seen in public and not having "perfect" evenly pigmented skin. ? Beauty does not mean perfection, it means loving yourself and being comfortable with how you are uniquely different. We are are uniquely beautiful, and no one can be YOU but YOU--so start loving yourself?. #vitiligo #vitiligobeauty #vitiligolove #vacay #outdoors #arizona #travel #selflove #beyou #encouragement #summer #nutrition #happiness #seattle #immune #autoimmune
