A Euphoric Obsession

That little hum sound after the HBO intro instantly grabs my attention, and that’s when you know it’s going to be F***king Amazing!

Rue’s narrating that leads you through the span of her life it felt a little like looking at a past self but with better casting, glitter and lighting like you’re in slow motion Ke$ha music video, but instead of lyrics, it touches on real life topics and issues amongst a very, very gripping story line. If you have watched the show and thoroughly enjoyed it, you find which characters you relate to the most, plus you’ve probably been in similar situations that you are watching happen right infront of you so you end up with nostalgic memories whether they are good or bad, also it’s almost like the show pulls you in that much more so it stays with you for longer than anticipated.

Everyone has that one show that they could just put on and never seem to get sick of, this is that show for me. It’s actually helped me in a lot of different ways, I was coping with a pretty rough breakup not too before it was released on Crave, and it was the perfect distraction, i found something that I wanted to channel lifestyle wise, like leaving the old you behind and never looking back. Learning how to heal and practice self love helped as well, still wanted to numb myself a little since I was with him for almost 5 years but he stepped out on me, with someone he convinced me to be friends with... but moving on.

By the second Episode (My Top Favourite Episode) I was full on in love with the show, I couldn’t help but rewatch the episodes until the next one was released.

It also made me think back about my style through my school years, i always had to have my hair, nails, and makeup done before I left my bedroom, than I would finish by spraying my favorite perfume, walk through and get whatever heels I felt like wearing that day. But I was mostly always all black everything outfits including my hair colour. I’ve cut back on my style since I graduated high school, but after watching Euphoria, it gave me new ideas for my current style, I was always daring with my makeup while in school and I wish I had the idea to add rhinestones!

I’ve gotten compliments for the rhinestone combinations for my eye looks before and other times not-so-nice looks, but I don’t let anything stop me from wearing I keep it in within normality bounds but also really cute and eye catching. I’m making up for the fact I didn’t wear them in school for as long as I can, i feel like everyone should try they’re own spin on using rhinestones I can tell you now, you won’t regret it!

Also I haven’t even gotten to the fact that this show had such an amazing soundtrack that it won Emmys!!!

I’ve heard Labrinth before when I was in junior high, it was called ‘Earthquake’ and I listened to that song a lot, until I eventually moved on so when I found out he created the soundtrack I was so happy there was no doubt in my mind, that he wouldn’t win that Emmy! I put all the songs I could on my playlist at work, and my boss told me that my playlist is her favorite out of the rest of my coworkers which I take as a huge compliment. The most motivating song to me out of the soundtrack has to be “Nate Growing Up” it just makes me wanna move and just go for it! And honestly the first real reason I wanted to watch Euphoria was because I knew Jacob Elordi was starring in it, And yes I know he’s not a very good guy in the series but to me.... that boy could ruin my life and I would still say thank you! I find him so sexy and invigorating that it makes my eyes roll to the back of my head with a smile.

I could almost say the same for the female characters, literally all of them! Maddy i identify with the most since she just did what she wanted and had the confidence to always turn the other cheek and keep doing you, and love yourself at the same time, plus all of her outfits are so eye catching and shows how confident she really is and I respect that sooo much, but also Cassie and Jules are next on my list they are equally as stunning and hypnotic.

Rue does have some moments where I would wanna lie in bed with her and talk for hours she also reminds me a little of my best friend.

I will never stop rewatching this series and I can’t wait for more, well I will since these current events seem to be working against my viewing pleasure but as a fan(atic) I will be patient and appreciative. My jewelled out makeup looks will be like my badge of pride and love for the show, which will continue forever!

I hope that if you’re reading this, you felt a similar connection to an absolute masterpiece of a tv show. So that you will write about it too, and even if you weren’t a huge fan, write about which one inspires you to want to enter a story into a challenge from a website that I’m happy to have found out about recently, it’s basically like turning in a book report that you actually wanted to do and present to the teacher/class.
