I was just reading this great interview with Kathy Griffin where she says, almost in passing, that we have to stick by George Michael no matter how many cars he drives while stoned because, you know, "Sometimes our gays stumble, and we have to be there for him."
Obviously I agree, and obviously Britney Spears is included in that statement, especially when she posts these long letters to her website and they even make sense and have, like, a beginning, middle and end.
We all want a certain image of ourselves out there, and at some point we all do really care what other people think or we wouldn't be here.
Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD. I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce. I was so overwhelmed I think that I was in a little shock too. I didn't know who to go to. I realized how much energy and love I had put into my past relationship when it was gone because I genuinely did not know what to do with myself, and it made me so sad. I confess, I was so lost...
I have had to cut so many people out of my life. It is so sad, because if anyone is a family person...it is me. When I was little I remember every night watching movies with my family and feeling so at peace. Dancing and singing all the time just like a little girl should. Now recently I find with my children that I want them to have that feeling all of the time. I am having to face a lot of things right now since I have children of my own. A lot of insecurities from when I was little are coming up again. It is like we are never good enough.
I don't know what kind of hippie 12-step they had out there at rehab, but our girl came back with some other slightly expanded horizons, too:
It is so weird how stories are told. There is your side, my side, and the truth. Somebody has to figure it out. I guess we will never really understand or figure out life completely. That's God's job. I can't wait to meet him...or her.
Oh, Britney Jean. Atta girl.
