“Shaving my head was a way of saying to the world: Fuck you. You want me to be pretty for you? Fuck you. You want me to be good for you? Fuck you. You want me to be your dream girl? Fuck you. I’d been the good girl for years. I’d smiled politely while TV show hosts leered at my breasts, while American parents said I was destroying their children by wearing a crop top, while executives patted my hand condescendingly and second-guessed my career choices even though I’d sold millions of records, while my family acted like I was evil. And I was tired of it.”
― Britney Spears, The Woman in Me

― Britney Spears, The Woman in Me

“Children aren’t responsible for their parents’ happiness”
― Fredrik Backman, My Friends

“I don’t think Justin realized the power he had in shaming me. I don’t think he understands to this day.”
