Sjana Elise Earp is living the life of her dreams. She travels a lot, spends her days in bikinis and practices yoga on some of the most exotic beaches. She captures her amazing life on camera and shares her photos on her Instagram profile.
Million people follow her posts every day, but there’s always someone who wants to stand between her happiness. Sjana has finally seen the dark side of her popularity.
Sjana received a lot of negative comments about her looks on her profile.
The 20-year old blogger started deleting the mean comments about her body. The people commenting were so harsh they even called her “disgusting”. One day, Sjana decide to respond to all those people who blamed her for promoting anorexia.
“I am so much more than a body – I know that. I am not defined by numbers OR by other people’s opinions of me. And the body I have, as imperfect or “skinny” or “gross” as people may think it is, is MY imperfect body. And I am happy with it despite their irrelevant opinions… My imperfect body helps me to move, travel, explore, play, and even hug people. To me, that makes it beautiful,” Sjana wrote on social media.
People mostly blamed her for promoting anorexia to young women that follow her Instagram to which she responded:
“I am not going to apologize for posting an image of myself… I’m not going to shame my own body because other people don’t believe it is attractive or “normal”. I have never and will never suggest that other people should aspire to have my body. In fact, it’s the opposite. Me posting an image which has my body in it is about celebrating the human form DESPITE the way it does or doesn’t meet social expectations and standards”.
