People ask me, 'is being a parent the be-all, end-all?' and i say, 'oh, it definitely is up to the person, and it is difficult, it can be very difficult, and it can be extremely healing.' that's what i have found, that the children are mirrors. everyone is a mirror, but children especially because they're day and night and all day long.

More From Melissa Etheridge

Let go of your worries let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images. if you want a clear mirror, behold yourself and see the shameless truth, which the mirror reflects. if metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish, what polishing might the mirror of the heart require? between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.
Letting Go Wisdom Truth
Ask anyone in america where the craziest people live and they'll tell you california. ask anyone in california where the craziest people live and they'll say los angeles. ask anyone in los angeles where the craziest people live and they'll tell you hollywood. ask anyone in hollywood where the craziest people live and they'll say laurel canyon. and ask anyone in laurel canyon where the craziest people live and they'll say lookout mountain. so i bought a house on lookout mountain.

Visitation reflects the era of the absentee father; parent time influences the re-emergence of the involved father. visitation reflects the destruction of the family; parent time influences the reconstruction of the family. parent time influences an era that understands that as either parent loses, so lose the children.

It's difficult to parent one kid, let alone five! it's insane. it's this strange, overwhelming mess that i would not trade for anything. i think it's more difficult in new york city. it's not like we can hop in the minivan and go somewhere. i don't own a car. it's chaos anywhere. being a parent is difficult. being a son and a daughter is difficult. it's a human relationship.

Since our technology is really just an extension of ourselves, we don’t have to have contempt for its manipulability in the way we might with actual people. it’s all one big endless loop. we like the mirror and the mirror likes us. to friend a person is merely to include the person in our private hall of flattering mirrors.

There is no night life in spain. they stay up late but they get up late. that is not night life. that is delaying the day. night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. if you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.

Since i was in my 20s, i've been giving my face 30 hot splashes in the morning and at night, and i keep thinking, if it's 25, oh my gosh, i'm going to fall apart.

Me and frosted went to get a drink. but she ordered somethin' bugged, and i ain't know what to think. she ordered potassium, calcium, carbohydrate, scotch with sodium. she took me to her crib, threw me on the couch... i woke up the next morning with a spoon in my mouth.

I don't go to an office, so i write at home. i like to write in the morning, if possible; that's when my mind is freshest. i might write for a couple of hours, and then i head out to have lunch and read the paper. then i write for a little bit longer if i can, then probably go to the library or make some phone calls. every day is a little bit different. i'm not highly routinized, so i spend a lot of time wandering around new york city with my laptop in my bag, wondering where i'm going to end up next. it's a fairly idyllic life for someone who likes writing.
