In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, Britney is still the quintessential example of a child star whose life plummeted into a devastating breakdown – now more recently rivaled by the likes of Amanda Bynes and Shia Labeouf. No longer eight years old and proudly strutting to the beat of “Gimme More”, I can now still look back fondly on my Britney-adoring days by using her breakdown as an extended metaphor for the stress levels of my own life. This icon of seeming perfection had turned out to be nothing but a talented singer with a string of bad decisions just like every other normal human being. I felt deceived by the empowered figure I had grown up admiring. It was like somebody had stabbed a fork into my fragile heart and ate it in front of me. I had no clue the majority of the lyrics I hummed along to were sexual innuendos – I was unashamedly having too much of a blast.Ī couple of years after my crazed obsession faded out through the opening gate of puberty, I came across articles online on how Britney was a negligent mother, temporarily lost custody of her kids and frequently yo-yoed in and out of rehab for alcohol and drugs misuse. To this very day, I truly cannot pinpoint why I idolised her at such a young age I guess she inspired me through her independent, self-assured and sexually liberated persona that blinded me from the bland, commercial lyrics with no true meaning besides entertainment for the masses. A truly legendary 90s pop icon to look up to before entering the gates of Hell -ahem- puberty. What did I do when I finally scraped enough pocket money to waste on a compressed brick-resembling MP3 player? I blew all of its memory within seconds burning her albums onto it. Four hour car journeys to a holiday retreat in the British “summer” to an anti-climactic caravan holiday home spent freezing by the coast? Britney Spears’ discography to the rescue. Britney Spears was a prominent figure within my chaotic childhood. "Still learning this no rules thing … I don't think so limited … I feel younger and in awe … unfortunately I'm boring as hell and drink hot chocolate at night !!! I've waited nearly 15 years to drink alcohol only to realize I hate it !!! It makes me sad and I feel bloated, although food tastes better. "Nope, I'm not this girl or that girl … I am River Red … and being able to volumize my voice in a world where I lost my rights … for 15 years … gives me an opportunity to succeed !!! Opportunity to know I matter and maybe if you walked in my shoes, then maybe just maybe you could understand," she continued. Spears noted that she was stripped of her voice during her 13-year conservatorship, and now that she's free, she wants to be able to do whatever she wants without being judged. "Nope I'm not having a breakdown … I am who I am and moving forward in my life. "Since everyone thinks they know my story. Next to a close-up professional photo of a rose in the cold, Spears responded to people's ongoing concerns for her mental health. The "Oops!…I Did It Again" singer returned to Instagram this weekend after a brief hiatus, sharing a couple posts. Britney Spears's fans have been working overtime trying to make sure the pop star is doing okay despite her seemingly alarming online behavior, but in a statement over the weekend, Spears insisted she is fine and just being herself now that she finally can.
