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.

Losing a significant amount of money, especially through fraudulent means, can be devastating emotionally, financially, and psychologically. It’s a story that unfortunately many people can relate to, as the allure of quick profits and the promise of financial security can blind even the most cautious investors. For my husband and I, the journey began with the dream of securing our financial future through cryptocurrency investment. Like many others, we sought out opportunities in this rapidly evolving market, hoping to capitalize on its potential for substantial returns. However, what seemed like a promising venture quickly turned into a nightmare. Entrusting our hard-earned money to a broker who claimed to be affiliated with a reputable forex trading firm, we invested a significant portion of our retirement savings and business funds into what appeared to be a legitimate platform. However, as time passed and we attempted to withdraw our earnings, we encountered a series of obstacles that ultimately revealed the true nature of the situation. The broker, instead of facilitating withdrawals, began requesting additional funds under various pretexts, effectively draining our finances and plunging us into debt. The realization that we had fallen victim to a scam was both shocking and distressing, as we grappled with the devastating consequences of our trust being exploited for personal gain. We came across an article highlighting the services of Web Bailiff Contractor. Desperate for a solution, we did research, seeking reassurance that this company could indeed deliver on its promises of recovery. With cautious optimism, we reached out to Web Bailiff Contractor, providing them with the details of our situation and placing our trust in their expertise. What followed was a whirlwind of emotions as we anxiously awaited news of their progress. Remarkably, within a mere 48 hours, Web Bailiff Contractor not only validated our hopes but exceeded our expectations by successfully recovering every penny that had been stolen from us. Their commitment to thorough investigation and relentless pursuit of justice ensured that my husband and I were not only reunited with our lost funds but also granted a sense of closure and relief. The impact of this turnaround cannot be overstated. From the depths of despair, we emerged with a renewed sense of faith in humanity and a profound gratitude for the individuals who helped us reclaim what was rightfully ours. Our experience serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of seeking assistance in times of crisis. As we reflect on this chapter of our lives, we are compelled to share our story with others, to serve as a beacon of hope for those who find themselves ensnared in similar predicaments.
