Meet Lotte Gronbekk Elli! One year ago, this 25-year-old girl became very sick. Moreover, her severe disease forced her to live with a stoma bag. Lotte was upset, but she wanted to continue her life as usual. One day the girl decided to go to the beach and lay down in a bikini. But this experience unexpectedly broke her heart.
Lotte was at the beach with her family. It was the first time she’d dared to appear in a bikini since her hospital stay. She said: “I decided to finally get into a bikini for the first time since I got my stoma. I’d lost weight and felt so happy, so I wanted to go out in a bikini.“
Unfortunately, some beach goers weren’t comfortable with it. When Lotte sunbathed on a summer day, a complete stranger approached her and asked to put on some clothing. The girl recalled that the woman said: “It’s disgusting that other people should stare at your stool.”
Well, it was not the best day in Lotte’s life. She became uncomfortable, but at the same time, she didn’t want to keep it that way. The brave girl decided to start to run her own blog to spread awareness about her condition. Lotte hopes that her experience will inspire other people to break the stereotypes.
People on the Internet like this idea, so Lotte receives many positive and encouraging comments. It is so good that this girl is standing up for herself!
