When Britney Spears posted an empowering quote—“Fall in love with taking care of yourself, mind, body, spirit”—to her Instagram on April 3 with a caption referencing taking “me time,” it represented something far more personal than just advice for her fans.

They’re so close, and it has been a lot.”
