A lesson in empathy

What a beautiful piece of art. First of all, it perfectly captured the teen angst that I felt back in the day. I was born in 1984, but I feel like part of my personality will always be that rebellious teenage girl who knows BS when she sees it. I'm proud of that, too. This show made me remember how being a teenager FELT, and it gave me a lot of empathy.

Personally, I also like how they featured the trans girl Jules. I've never seen a character like her, and it really opened my mind up. I don't consider myself transphobic, but I think seeing Jules' character helped me see trans people as more than what the media talks about, if that makes sense. There's so much sensationalism and fake controversy that it was a revelation to just see Jules as a teenage girl going through the same exact crap I went through as a teenage girl. Sometimes we just need art to help our hearts open a little bit, and Euphoria helped me in that way.
