“I had an experience three years ago where I stopped believing in God,” Spears wrote in part. “From every angle I was being hurt for no reason and my family was hurting me. I went into a state of shock and the way I coped was being (in) fake denial. It was too much to really face.”
“Honestly my family embarrassed me and hurt me deeply,” Spears wrote, adding that “tooting my own horn and seeing my past accomplishments reflecting back at me actually helped” in overcoming her insecurities.

“Last year was growth for me… I still have a ways to go!!!” the “Gimme More” singer wrote on a separate slide.
“My goal this year is to push myself a bit more and do things that scare me,” she continued. “We are just people and I’m not superwoman but I do know what makes me happy and brings me joy and I try to meditate on those places and thoughts that enable me to experience it.”
