@tiightchest tun ariana is still ariana you shouldnt feel less connected with her because she was going through a harder time. i think the way u guys constantly talk about her like she owes u something is parasocial idk
i just couldn’t connect to this version of her in the same way because she felt so emotionally far away. there was always this sense that she was giving us everything while barely having anything left for herself, and i think that made me hold the whole era at a distance :(
