11. Oh Britney!

Thursday, April 14, 2005

So the word is that Britney Spears is set to become a mother in the near future. This year she took in order to focus on her new marriage and possibly get pregnant. She has done both, and the announcement of her pregnancy seems to have turned the pop world on its head. Fans and friends of hers all have an opinion on whether or not this pregnancy is a good thing. They either show support or not. The fact of the matter of it is this though. Britney is a grown woman, married, and for what it is worth appears to be happy. Yes, that could be a facade, and totally fake, but for all intensive purposes Britney looks happy. She has found a man that she loves and has chosen to spend the rest of her life with.

People may entitled their opinion, but it is her life to lead. Not anyone elses. She has lived in the spotlight for the last seven years, and even before then as a member of the New Mickey Mouse Club. Her romance with Justin Timberlake was highly publicized, as was their eventual break-up. Each one pouring their feelings about the end of their relationship into a song. The pair broke up several years ago. Yet some say they are meant to be together and will eventually find their way back to each other. Who knows if that will happen?

No one can say anything about what will happen in the future because it is just that. The future. It hasn't been set yet. What happens in her life, my life, your life is up to us. No one else can control your life or hers. You're the one in control of your destiny. If Britney wants to get married, have baby, and never return to the world she has been a part of the last decade then so be it. That is her choice. She is allowed to make it. No one else can make it for her. Just like no one can make any choices for you. You're the only one that can do that.
