The first post on this blog will be about the legendary Britney Spears. I’ve loved Britney for as long as I can possibly remember.
When I was eight years old, in 1998, I was never the most popular kid in school. I was weird, I was quiet, I was smart, I kept to myself. I was all around just a socially awkward kid. Gym class was the worst for me, because all the boys got dressed in the same room and they used to poke fun at me. Before I evenknew that I was gay, other people were telling me that I was and made fun of me for it. Basically, it was just kids being kids. Well there was a certain guy, his name will be David for this, who I used to loathe. He would always scratch up my backpacks and notebooks, he would push me down the stairs, he would do whatever he could to make me cry. (Yeah, I was that kid.) One day he got a little out of hand in gym class pushed me down the wooden bleachers. Well, I took quite the tumble and landed on my head several times before I hit the basketball court right on my ear. I was rushed to the hospital after being knocked unconscious and I was basically diagnosed deaf because it had done something to my ear that snapped my eardrum. I stayed in the hospital for a week under operation, thinking that I would never hear anything again. My mom asked if she could play music all the time just to see if I could hear anything. She bought me a few CD’s (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Beauty and the Beast, etc.) One night I was watching the tv in the room with the subtitles on (they moved too fast for me and I couldn’t really read them, but I had already seen that episode and knew what it was about) and all of a sudden I hear, “Yes, I will be there. When you need someone, you just turn around, and I will be there”. The very first thing that I heard, though it was very muttled, was Britney Spears singing. It was the first time that I heard her, and she was saying that she’d be there for me. And she was. From that point on, I’ve stood beside her through thick and thin. She was there for me when I needed it, and so I decided that I would be there for her.
I cried reading this, seriously.
