I listened to Britney Spears' memoir, “The Woman In Me” last week. The fact that a mentally capable adult was put under a conservatorship is both fascinating and horrifying. Britney Spears suffered for 13 years under conservatorship. Her father was appointed guardian, and he determined what she could and could not eat, her work schedule, and took full control of her finances. She wasn’t mentally incapacitated. 13 years. The injustice of it.
Spears wrote, “the woman in me was pushed down for 13 years.”
I really liked this book because of how relatable it was. Rather than try to explain what I liked from the book, below is a list of quotes and paraphrases that resonated with me:
When you are really successful at something, there's a lot of pressure to keep on doing it, even if you are not enjoying it anymore.
Help is good, but not when it doesn’t feel like a choice. Not when it isn't asked for.
We as people have to test our boundaries, to test the world to find out how we want to live.
You have to let people rebel. To express themselves and find themselves. There is a reason for rebellious times. Hinder someone's spirit to that degree, where they no longer feel themselves; it is not healthy.
Feeling like you are never good enough is soul crushing, for kids and adults.
It was as if I had forgotten that I was a powerful woman.
People seemed to experience my body as public property. Police, control, criticize, or use as a weapon.
In order to be creative you have to have room for play in your schedule.
By trying to punish the people who held me captive, I also punished myself and my fans.
I can be someone who is nice and strong.
If no one is used to you being assertive, they get freaked out when you start speaking your mind. It speaks volumes when you demand respect.
It was as if I had forgotten that I was a powerful woman.
Why do we ever stay in dysfunctional relationships?
They made me forget my self worth and my value.
By giving my testimony I freed myself and gave hope to others in similar situations.
I'm not here to be a victim.
Music is a connection to God.
Every song I sing and dance allows me to tell a different story.
Freedom is the ability to make mistakes and learn from them. I get to be as beautifully imperfect as everyone else.
I have the ability and right to search for joy in my own way, on my own terms.
Exercise makes me feel confident and strong; so does singing, and praying.
Don’t underestimate your power.
