Hello everyone! In our generation today, Looks affects how other people sees us. Sometimes society judge an individual on how they look like disregarding how their heart is molded. But let's witness an inspirational story of a real beuty from a girl whose dubbed as The World's most Ugliest Woman. Ironic, right? But let's see.
Si Elizabeth (Lizzie) Ann Velasquez, ay ipinanganak noong March 13, 1989. Isa siyang American motivational speaker, author and youtuber. Ipinanganak siyang may extreme rare congenital disease na tinatawag sa pangalang Marfanoid-progeroid lipodystrophy syndrome that, among other symptoms, ito ang pumipigil sa pagdaragdag ng body fats sa katawan ng isang tao. Ang kondisyon niyang iyon ay nagresulta sa katakot-takot na pambubully noong bata pa siya na kanya namang naging inspirasyon sa kanyang mga motivational speeches.
Panganay si Lizzie sa tatlong magkakapatid. Pinanganak siyang premature baby sa timbang na 1.219 kilograms.
Nag-aral siya sa Texas State University, major in communication studies. Isa siyang Roman Catholic at lagi niyang sinasabi ang mga katagang ito, "It's been my rock through everything, just having the time to be alone and pray and talk to God and know that He's there for me."
Velásquez's condition is a very rare, previously undiagnosed and non-terminalgenetic disorder. Her condition bears similarities to many other conditions, especially progeria. Bagamat hindi masyadong nadaragdagan ang bigat niya, Hindi naman nito naaapektuhan ang malulusog niyang buto at ngipin. Hindi pa siya kailanman umabot sa timbang na 29kilograms at walang kahit 1% na taba sa katawan.
Moreover, she is required to eat many small meals and snacks throughout the day, averaging between 5,000 and 8,000 calories daily. Additionally, she isblind in her right eye, which began to cloud over when she was 4, and she is vision-impaired in her left eye.
Mula noong tinawag siyang "World's ugliest woman" sa isang video na naipost sa youtube noong 2006 noong 17 years old siya, Nagumpisa na siyang magsalita laban sa bullying. Kilala siya sa pagiging optimistic.
Ang una niyang nagawang akda, Kasama ang kanyang Ina, ay isang self-published na autobiography na naipublished noong 2010 sa wikang English at Spanish. Pinamagatan itong Lizzie Beautiful: The Lizzie Velasquez Story.
Nailimbag din ni Lizzie ang dalawa pa niyang aklat na para sa mga teenagers kung saan naibabahagi niya ang kanyang karanasan at nakapagbibigay din ng mga advice. Ito ay pinamagatang "Be Beautiful, Be You" (2012) Dito niya ibinahagi na, "To discover what truly makes us beautiful, and teaches readers to recognize their unique gifts and blessings."
Isa pa sa mga naisulat niyang libro ang Choosing Happines(2014)
Dito inilahad ang "Obstacles Velásquez has faced and how she "learned the importance of choosing to be happy when it's all too easy to give up".
Dare to be Kind, first published in 2017, is about the importance of being kind, gleaned from her first-hand experience being bullied personally and online.
Maganda para sa isang tao na manatiling matatag despite of all barriers na maaaring pinagdadaanan nila. Just like Lizzie, People might judge her on how she looks like but God always judges us base on our pristine hearts.
Always, Remember that you are beautiful. No matter what happened you are beautifully you. 😃
~Value those crystalized moments before it vanish beyond unseen.~
My message
Beauty isn't about having a pretty face it's about having a pretty heart and a pretty soul.
