Freedom means being goofy, silly, and having fun on social media. Freedom means taking a break from Instagram without people calling 911. Freedom means being able to make mistakes, and learning from them. Freedom means I don’t have to perform for anyone—onstage or offstage. Freedom means that I get to be as beautifully imperfect as everyone else. And freedom means the ability, and the right, to search for joy, in my own way, on my own terms.
An incredibly heavy, emotional, at times brutal read. I'm left overwhelmed with emotion about everything that she's been through, admiration for her ability to get through it all, and appreciation for her lifetime of achievements despite her circumstances. Britney, thank you for sharing your story with all of us - may you have a lifetime of joy, freedom, and the ability to enjoy the power of your voice.
