I wanted to be someone I couldn't be

"Euphoria" Special ("Excitement" special), as a small spark born in my favorite drama in 2019, it will be a wonderful landing in 2021. I would prefer the dialogue between Rue and Ali in the first episode. What’s amazing is that while discussing Rue’s life, there are too many current affairs issues, the information cocoon room of the Internet world, and the participation of commercial brands in public affairs discussions very naturally. ,etc.

I really love the first episode, seeing Ali desperately pouring chicken soup to make Rue have confidence in life, but Rue said: I didn't intend to live so long, it caught Ali and I off guard, the world we live in needs us The level of positivity is more than we want to live.

Rue tells Ali that if she leaves the world now, she wants everyone to remember that she worked so hard to be what she couldn't be. I also shed tears at the same time. Although more pressure may be on us not being able to be the person others want you to be, it is often the pressure and the world that squeezes our individuality that we cannot return to The path to the person you want to be. We were dragged, wrapped, and weighed heavily on our bodies. Even if we returned to this road, we just wanted to fall asleep at the starting point and never get up again.

The second episode may have spent more time on the screen, sorting out Jules' ego, which is not so easy to articulate in lines. In the end, two people are drawn into a circle. Misunderstandings, puzzles, and complaints in their intimate relationship are all seen from their own perspectives. It may be difficult for us to obtain such an omniscient perspective in real life, but we must not. Give up looking for it.

Trouble Don't Last Always quotes

  • Ali: Uh, Rue, I'm not a guidance counselor. I'm just a crackhead who's trying to do a little good on this Earth before I die.

    [both laugh]

    Rue Bennett: Uh, you're, you're a trip, man.

  • Rue Bennett: Um... When I'm, uh, when I'm clean, you know, when I'm present, uh, like a part of this world, I don't just think about relapsing. It's, uh, it's darker than that. And, uh, you can say that sobriety is my, uh, greatest weapon, but... to tell you the truth, drugs are probably the only reason I haven't killed myself.

    Ali: Oh. Now we're talkin'. Now you're being real. Now you're being honest. Because this whole bullshit about being a functioning drug addict, about finding balance, that ain't true. That's a lie.

    Rue Bennett: It's not a lie.

    Ali: It's a lie, whether you know it or not, but more importantly, I don't give a fuck to hear it.

    Rue Bennett: [scoffs] Yeah, whatever, man.

    Ali: Whatever, man?

    [Rue chuckles]

    Ali: Whatever, man. Listen, young blood.

    [laughs]

    Ali: I was shooting dope before your mama's egg dropped. I've lived a whole motherfuckin' life to get to this diner to sit across from your arrogant ass, so don't you ever whatever me. You're 17. You don't know shit. You think you're hard? I'm harder. You think you're tough? I'm tougher. You got clean and want to kill yourself? Same motherfuckin' story here. You want to know why? I'll tell you why. 'Cause you don't know how to live life. You don't have the tools. You're too busy running around, trying to bullshit everybody into thinking you're hard, and you don't give a fuck, when in reality, you give so much of a fuck, you can't even bear to be alive. So guess what? New rule. No more wasting my motherfuckin' time. You wanna use? Use. But the least you can do is be honest. Own that shit.
