Britney!!

Firstly, Britney's "For the Record" debuted this week--so impressive and honest. It's interesting that she let camera crews follow her around and told the whole story, most people are not comfortable letting anyone see them vulnerable. It was amazing to see the paparazzi bubbling over to snap pictures of her in the car or shopping, it was also disheartening to see someone living their life in a glass house--no privacy, alone time, or peaceful solitude doing everyday errands. While most of us are dreaming about success and riches, she is dreaming about being alone on an island with her children and

 dream man. I guess the 

grass is always greener on the other side.

Lastly, I wanted to applaud her on her integrity as an artist. When the interviewer inquires whether or not she sees herself as a victim of fame, she takes a moment and responds that she is not a victim--the jest of it was that she does what she loves and victimization is a mindset she doesn't have. She actually gets upset when people talk about being a victim of celebrity--she said she just tries to see the positivity of every situation and gets mad at herself when she has a bad day.

I suppose it's relatively impossible to always have a good day, but I think it's important to slow down and see the silver lining. I wish I could do it. I actually think i'm going to try more to be positive and lighthearted instead of taking everything on all the time. I get it when she talks about art as her medium--it's nice when you can just let it all out (for me..obviously it's writing)  Like Britney, I'm going to go through my life like a karate kid.

PS: You can listen to her new album on her website, britneyspears.com --and per usual, her music is top notch and great to work out too (it makes me feel better if britney can come back better than ever, so can I :) lol ))
