nona nona

when I watched the first episode I had to take a break for months before watching again. I myself was a previous addict. So accurate and similar to rue I had a panic attack. The only thing different about me and rue was that I succeeded in my road to recovery. I too was 16 when it happened. I too am diagnosed with all these illnesses. I too suffered as a child and was deemed different. In the scene, "two seconds of nothing" I was left breathless with how accurate it was. How could somebody explain in two minutes what I had tried to explain in therapy for 5 years. Although one could say it was over dramatized, it isn't. My highschool was hell on earth. Nudes leaked, fights, alcohol, parties. Not as theatrical as Euphoria but with the same issues presented. many of my friends could relate to the characters on some level. rue was my identical twin. I have a friend who said Cassie was her spirit animal. What does this mean for Generation Z, to be completely honest I have no idea. Did the previous generations fail us? Where we doomed from the beginning?
