Defense For Our Inner Child

Lisa Dusenbery bio ↓  ·  January 13th, 2012  ·  filed under Other

“I want to defend the children that we still are inside, the fragile sensitive souls who no matter how much we tried were still told we were not good enough. I want to make the world safe and better and happy for us. We deserve beauty, love, respect, admiration, kindness and compassion. If we don’t get it, there will be hell to pay. I am no saint, but I am here for you and me. I am here for us, and I am doing the best I can.”

Margaret Cho writes about not taking the high-road and doles out a lot of truth in the process. You can hear more from Cho if you subscribe to Letters in The Mail, as she is composing the second letter, which goes out on Tuesday.
