This episode we talk about the song "New Religion" by NSTASIA, from her 2017 album New Religion. It's another simpy mushy episode! The comparison between love and religion is made all the time in music, and it's beautiful, we can't get enough, but we gotta talk about how songs like this, or music/movies in general, maybe set an unrealistic expectation of what love is supposed to feel like. Idealizing love can be harmful to your romantic relationships or to your own emotional wellbeing, because it can leave you feeling empty, disappointed, or unfulfilled. On the positive side, it's ok to crave a love that deep as long as you know it's not like that 24/7, and that like religion, love requires dedication, mindfulness, respect, commitment and discipline.
