She can't sing. She can't dance. She can't parent. She can't exercise, but boy does she apparently eat!
Sheesh. I wake this morning to I don't know how many news stories, blogs,blurbs and blips of what a trainwreck Britney Spears performace at the MTV awards was. Um, so what?
Things to note:
- She's had 2 pregnancies within a very close timeframe
- She's not been taking care of herself
- She's just gone through a divorce
- She's having familial problems
- She's trying to make a comeback of her career after having 2 children
- She's probably feeling self concious - not unlike many of us who have had children feel on a day to day basis let alone on stage in a two piece outfit in front of only goodness knows how many people watching in the audience and then in tvland. Ah yes. Lest we forget. Add to that an ex.
So let's give her a break girls. Let's lift her up a bit. Pull in the claws. Let's show the world that women can and choose to be kind and caring and refute the animalistic ways the media would love us to adopt. They only corrupt our own minds and plant the seed so that next time we're out of the shower and catch a glimpse of out selves we'll know just a bit how Britney may have felt. Hopefully by doing this enough, we'll not only change our outlook on the world but help others to do the same by discontinuing this gossip about misfortunes people have. Lets instead pass along stories of hope and gladness. Let our children and our neighbors hear us spreading warmth upon one anothers' hearts and minds so that they inturn learn to do the same and the chain becomes stronger. So that less of these blog posts become about Britney and and the like and more about improving our lives.
