MUMBAI: Britney Spears is more relatable than anyone previously thought.
On Thursday, June 24, the pop star wrote on Instagram that like most people, she’s presented her life as being better than it really is. She explained, “I believe as people we all want the fairy tale life and by the way I’ve posted … my life seems to look and be pretty amazing … I think that’s what we all strive for !!!!”
She partially attributed this to her mother, Lynne Spears, describing how “one of my mother’s best traits” was her ability to stay strong in the face of adversity. “No matter how s–tty a day was when I was younger … for the sake of me and my siblings she always pretended like everything was ok,” Britney explained.

“I apologize for pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years,” Britney continued. “I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me … but honestly who doesn’t want to capture there Instagram in a fun light.”
Moreover, the mother of two shared, “Believe it or not, pretending that I’m ok has actually helped.”
“I feel like Instagram has helped me have a cool outlet to share my presence … existence … and to simply feel like I matter despite what I was going through and hey it worked,” she reflected.
