She's Only Human, People

As if Lindsay Lohan's coke-fueled auto accident Saturday or Paris Hilton's countdown to jail time (six days!) weren't enough to make you long for the days when we didn't know whether the "hottest" celebrities were wearing underwear or not, the former Mrs. Federline herself returns to offer a poetic soliloquy on her post-divorce mishaps. Britney Spears updated her Web site today with what US Weekly called an "introspective" letter telling fans about what she's learned in the past year about life, gossip and rehab.
I've chosen my favorite lines for your convenience. (I'm also going to have to pray for my soul over the photo I use in this post -- it's probably the saddest one imaginable. I'm almost ashamed.) Sure, it's not fair to kick stupid people when they're down, and I usually avoid playing the role of a cog in the celebrity gossip mill. But this time, the celebrity is doing the talking, bringing her diary to life via the internets, and it deserves to be shared.
Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till[sic] this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD.

Being in that vulnerable state and taken to dinners and parties with friends and finding out later you paid for everything was a huge learning lesson for me.

I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary. I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties, so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me. I think it is actually normal for a young girl to go out after a huge divorce. I think it was a bigger issue because I had not gone out in such a long time.
-----
It is just so weird because everyone has their own perception of me and how they think I really am. It is so weird how stories are told. There is your side, my side, and the truth. Somebody has to figure it out. I guess we will never really understand or figure out life completely. That's God's job. I can't wait to meet him...or her.
