I Grew Up As This Very Carefree,

I Don't Understand Why Some Things Are Talked About And Others Are Not. I Don't Know Why I Think I Can Make Any Kind Of Difference. All I Know Is That I Want To.

First Thing In The Morning, We're Really Tired, And We Look At Each Other And We Wonder, 'are We Ever Going To Get Sleep?' And Yet, It Doesn't Matter If You Don't Get Sleep. It's An Honor To Take Care Of Them.

The Truth Is I Love Being Alive. And I Love Feeling Free. So If I Can't Have Those Things Then I Feel Like A Caged Animal And I'd Rather Not Be In A Cage. I'd Rather Be Dead. And It's Real Simple. And I Think It's Not That Uncommon.

Like Every Mother, My Wish - Every Birthday - Is For My Children To Stay Healthy (and) For My Family To Remain Healthy.

The Side Of Fairytales I Don't Like Is That They Always Have Happy Endings, That There's Just Good And Evil, And Things Are Perfect. But Life Is A Little More Complicated, And That's What I Try To Teach My Kids.
