There are so many things I wish I could tell you, express to you and thank you for. I know the last few years have been an absolute roller coaster and I hope you know that your true fans have never turned their backs on you, even if the noise of the media and public has been less than kind, to say the least.
Last night, before I went to bed I saw Gavin Rossdale’s post about you. It made me so happy to finally see someone in Hollywood showing you kindness and understanding. But I couldn’t help but feel frustrated that one person being kind to you, felt like something noteworthy. Britney, I am so sorry the world is not fair to you. It’s not fair in general, but for some reason it seems there is always some kind of gawking at your every move. I wish I could do something to stop them, to get people to understand, but I can only control myself. I would like you to know that I have stopped sharing or even looking at any content from TMZ, and I will no longer post any photo’s of you that were not taken with consent (meaning paparazzi photo’s) because I want to be a part of your support system, even if I am just a fan. I want to do my part in showing you the utmost respect that you deserve.
I am hesitant to bring up a certain charmless-weak-chinned-ex, but I will briefly, if only to say that your light will shine so much brighter with out a man stifling you. He and his tacky paid-promotion-watches never deserved you in the least. Also, it completely makes sense to me why you tried to make it work. He was a familiar and constant part of your life for a long time. And so, although I detest him, I want you to know I am sorry that did not work out. You seemed to really care about him, and I hope you are healing and moving on from that relationship. No matter what your fans, or anyone really, thinks of that relationship, or of him, it’s your life and none of us can possibly know what you are feeling or going through. Just know that you are loved.
I also wanted to tell you, I have started a fan website and newsletter because I think there are a lot of us that want to have a place to go with our love and support for you! I saw this from you to your fans back in January of 2007, “I noticed today that one of my biggest fan sites is shutting down soon and I want you all to know that I do understand all the reasons that went behind making that decision, and I am sad to see it closing. If I were you I’d be unhappy too if I had to read what I’ve been reading every day. But trust me, I get it. I know I’ve been far from perfect and the media has had a lot of fun exaggerating my every move, but I want you all to know that I love my fans so much, and I appreciate everything you have done for me, so Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!“
Britney, I have no idea how you were so kind, understanding and gracious when one of your biggest fans sites closed when YOU NEEDED THEM MOST, but on behalf of all your fans, I am sorry. I am sorry for every fan that let you down. But that is why I am working on my website and newsletter. Just so that, if you ever, decide to go look and see if you have still have a fan club, you will. It’s here. I am your biggest fan, always. It took me a few decades to learn how to make a website, get a mailing list and afford the resources to do this, but I am here. And Britney, your fans will always be here, because we believe in you. You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to work. You just have to exist, as you do, with out ever apologizing for who you are. I am so sorry the world puts so much pressure on you, but know that you are loved so much. You are full of light, love and so much goodness. When someone is as pure as you, the evils of the world try to tear them down. But a very wise woman once said,
“People can take everything away from you, but they can never take away your truth.”
(…It was you. You said that. <3)
Britney Jean Spears, Maria River Red, whatever you call yourself these days: I love you, and I am certainly not alone. There is an Army of us, cheering for you, advocating for you and we want to be there for you like your music and art has been there for us.
Because of you, we are all stronger than yesterday.
Thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart.
Love,
Charlie Smith
