10 yrs old. i walk threw the furniture store and im inside a room full of televisions. a music video was playing. dirty blonde hair'd girl in a schoolgirl uniform flashes on the 50 tv screens around me. i wasnt sure who she was, but i new i was in love.
threw the years my little crush developed into a wild carnival ride of emotions. i was drawn to the dirty blonde haired girl but soon her music captured me. Britney Spears has inspired me to what my passion is today. Dancing would not have been as big a part of my life if it hadnt been for her. Her club bouncers and hit singles pumped me for when i was practicing. Eventually as time passed, when i saw the media tear her apart to peices, my passion for Britney took a 180. no longer did i just care for her beats to get in the grove, i saw that same girl, that dirty blonde girl in the schoolgirl uniform terrified and alone. I devoted myself to her ever since, and rooted for her threw it all. It was the least i could do, considering the whole "in the zone" album got me threw my parents misserable divorce and my father cheating. Now that shes walking her starwrittin path again of happiness, i can now look at everybody and say "ive told you so!". Britney Spears to me is more to me now than just a singer. Britneys an inspiration, a warm blanket of comfort, and a beautiful person inside and out.
So here's my cheers to you Britney, & thankyou for being there for me threw all my sadest times. right here on my cd player.
