Such an interesting read, for I know next to nothing about Ariana Grande. 😅 I see what you mean with her lyrics and appreciate you pointing this out, as it’s a valuable and important perspective especially as therapy becomes more prevalent.

I’m a huge fan of Selena Gomez’s “Lose You to Love Me” btw, which I’m now realizing is in large part due to connecting with her vulnerability. That song really helped me heal through my breakup years ago and I doubt that would’ve been the case if her words weren’t as raw and real as they are!

Thank you for reading, Morganne! Isn’t it funny how prevalent therapy has become in recent years? Ari has really made me wonder if it’s a good or bad thing.

But Selena does seem to be walking the walk, which is likely why her songs can strike such a chord (no pun intended). Music can be so powerful, I’m glad to hear how “Lose You to Love Me” helped you heal 🤍

This is so well said and while I'm not versed in the slightest about anything pop culture, the perspective is exactly how I read her. While I love her voice and her music, I also feel the total disconnect from people and the therapy excuses as a defense mechanism. Loved this!

Thanks for reading, Riss! I know it goes a little against the grain, so I’m so glad I’m not alone in this sentiment.
