Absurd Beauty
By: Juliana Paucar
My life and my beauty standards changed on August 17th, 2012. I was helping my parents with some assignments in their office, when I took a break and my skirt caught the flame of a candle. A candle. Something as absurdly small as a candle changed my life forever. It only took two minutes for the fire to consume my skirt and my legs, leaving me with 3rd and 4th degree burns. Right then and there, I became a burn survivor and I also went down an overdue journey of self-love that I didn’t expect.
For five months, I stayed in the hospital, isolated from everyone except from my mom. I was lucky to be at a private hospital that allowed my mom to be in the room with me. I have heard that this is uncommon for other burn patients in Colombia. Although my family was my strength and support, it wasn’t enough for my doctors. They constantly said: “It would be better if you had a boyfriend, someone special by your side”. But, why? Being single at that moment made me focus solely in my recovery. So one day I decided to ask the doctors why they thought it was so important to have a boyfriend. The answer was straightforward and without any painkillers: “It is necessary for you to have emotional stability,” the doctor said. “After this accident, it will be really difficult for you to find someone to love you or accept you.” It was hard to hear, and I didn’t accept it at first, but then reality hit me.
Six months out of the hospital, halfway to my full physical recovery, my emotional journey began; low self-esteem, recrimination, and rejection started to appear. At that point my thoughts were unclear and what the doctor said echoed in my mind. I felt lonely and single, more single than I had felt when I broke up with my ex-boyfriend 3 years before. 50% of my body are only scars, HUGE ones, there is no hope for me, I thought. So I started covering myself in every way I could; I was afraid to show my self. I was determined that everything had to be fixed in the outside; that I had to return to my “normal” self and my “normal” skin.
What had happened to me was unfair. I thought people would only accept me if my scars disappeared but I was wrong. Soon enough, I understood that the change had to come from within. I realized that I had to change the way I saw myself to change my life and for others to accept my new beauty. I realized that empowering myself with self-love was necessary to change my sadness and to find someone to love and love me back.
At this point, @Bellezaabsurda, or Absurd Beauty, was born. I created my own Instagram initiative to empower myself, and other women, with self-love. Although I am based in Colombia, I hope to reach the world. My message is about love; I want all the women to accept themselves and to define their own concept of beauty, just like I define my scars as absurdly beautiful. I want women to realize that they are perfect just the way they are, even if it sound like a song, it is totally true. Thanks Bruno Mars.
Now-a-days, I feel as a super woman. I love myself over anything and I chase my dreams. I found love, not only in a partner, but LOVE in its purest form. I have built myself strong to become the very best version of Juliana Paucar.

I lost $303,450 with a fake crypto investor. I am Kenneth Brown and here is my story. Of course, they advise us to do a good background check before deciding where and when to invest. But they entirely forget that the scammers have a “clean” background record. So you will find all the good reviews and ads about them when you research. Mine was no different. They looked legit, and I made my deposits, plus more deposits when chasing my withdrawals. I reached my limit and knew I had to get my money back no matter what. I did some deep searching and finally decided to try out SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY. And guess who had their total investment money back in approximately 20 hours? The good thing about this hacker is that they only require the transaction information and the hacker’s address, and everything else is on them until the money is fully back.

It began with what seemed like a promising investment opportunity but quickly unraveled into a sophisticated scam that left me reeling. It all started innocuously enough on the Telegram app, where I was lured into investing in what purported to be stocks of tech giants like Amazon and Apple. The scammers convinced me to download MetaTrader and Trust Wallet, tools that seemed legitimate for managing investments and cryptocurrency transactions. Little did I know, these were mere props in an elaborate scheme designed to defraud unsuspecting investors like myself. Eager to capitalize on what appeared to be a lucrative venture, I began funding the trading app with substantial wire transfers, eventually amounting to over 180,000USD. Each transaction seemed to reinforce the illusion that my investments were thriving in the booming tech market. However, the truth was far more sinister. It wasn’t until I attempted to withdraw my supposed profits that I realized something was amiss. Communication from the scammers became sparse, and when I did manage to contact them, their promises grew increasingly hollow. It dawned on me then: I had fallen victim to a meticulously orchestrated scam, and my hard-earned money was now in the hands of faceless criminals. In a desperate bid for justice, I turned to the NYPD, armed with evidence of my transactions and a trail of deceit. However, after a month of investigation, their verdict was disheartening: crypto assets, once transferred, were virtually untraceable. I was devastated by the realization that traditional law enforcement channels seemed ill-equipped to tackle crimes of this nature.Despite the bleak prognosis, a glimmer of hope flickered within me. I refused to accept defeat and resolved to explore alternative avenues for recovery. It was during this exhaustive search that I stumbled upon SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY, a name that would soon restore my faith in the fight against cybercrime. With little to lose and everything to gain, I entrusted Cyber Tech Wizard with my case. Swiftly, they sprang into action, meticulously tracing the convoluted path of my funds across the digital ether. Their expertise and determination were evident as they navigated through the complexities of blockchain transactions and cryptocurrency protocols.In a remarkable turnaround, just 72 hours later, SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY delivered the news I had begun to believe was impossible: my funds were successfully retrieved and restored to my bank account. The sense of relief and vindication was overwhelming, contrasting starkly with the despair I had felt mere days before. My journey from victim to victor serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance. To those who find themselves ensnared in similar predicaments, I offer this beacon of hope: recovery is possible, even when the odds seem insurmountable. In closing, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY for their unwavering support and unwavering commitment to justice.
