Letter: Dear Karen's Skin


Dear Karen’s Skin,


First of all, I want to let you know how grateful I am that you created a rash, alerting me of a serious problem otherwise, undetected. How amazing you were! Although I complain from timer to time that you make me feel unattractive, I will refrain from judging you by how I perceive your appearance now. I know it takes time to grow healthy cells, and any slight improvement will show me that you’re making progress.

Since you and I must live together like air to the environment, I need you as my friend, not my foe. Can you please be patient with me when I get upset, and understand I am doing the best I can to get through a difficult time. I value my appearance, and will help you grow by giving you many slow, soothing, vitamin massages, and keep you clean and fresh. I will hold you In my palm, telling you how much I admire you.

I want to thank you, Thigh Skin, for donating yourself to my new Breast Skin. You gave unselfishly, and did not create much pain in the transfer. You are like a little baby changing color every day. It is I who must let you grow at your own timing, stepping away from expectations. I want to trust that everything will be o.k. in time.

As we will live together for a very long time, I look forward to jumping for joy and celebrating with you when you are completely healed. Let’s be there for each other. After all, that’s what friends are for.


Lovingly,
Karen
