so euphoria episode four had a lot going on in it and in this video rather than
just breaking down one character we're gonna be looking at probably about three
or four different characters and explain what's going on in their story arcs and
see what we can learn from it what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired
soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new
to my channel typically what I do is I pull different topics from the YouTube
community but I like to pull topics from movies TV shows pop culture in general
try to see what lessons we can pull from them to improve our own mental and
emotional well-being so if you're into that stuff makes you subscribe and ring
that notification bell and make sure you check out my you for your playlist I've
been covering all the episodes but yeah before we get started in case you did
not know I have my brand new book rewire your anxiety out now and a bunch of
people are giving me feedback on it and it makes me feel oh so good but anyways
it's available in both ebook and audiobook format so if you want to check
that out it's out in the description down to the pin comment below alright so
yeah euphoria episode 4 there's a lot going on and obviously each episode kind
of like really centers around one character but we kind of see what's
going on with other characters so in this episode are really focused on
jewels and it kind of gave a little bit of her backstory and everything like
that I'm not gonna be diving too much into her going into a psychiatric
hospital as a child but if that's something that you want me to kind of do
a whole video on and children going to psychiatric hospitals when it comes to
you know self-harm or even what might have been you know her being put in
there for you know gender dysphoria or whatever it is like if you want me to
make a video on that let me know down in the comments below alright
but I want to be talking about a few different characters so let's talk about
room alright played by zendaya which is really good just think cuz I just took
my son to go see a spider-man far from home I act like I took my son like I did
it freaking loved it love that movie what's so interesting just seeing like
zendaya has Mary Jane Watson as you know what I did but anyways I've
done a lot of video breakdowns on rue because she struggles with addiction
those of you who don't know me I'm a recovering drug addict an alcoholic with
over seven years clean and sober but yeah this episode it didn't focus
too much on rue alright like there was like the quick little scene where she
met with Olli after she called him at the end of the last episode and like I'm
telling you guys right now I'm telling you guys right now like their
relationship this kind of sponsor sponsee relationship is going to be
legit alright like I love Holly because he's the type of sponsor who I would
want one who is just no-nonsense gets straight to the point
like don't be like beating around the bush let's talk about the problems focus
on the solutions you know what I mean so make sure you're paying attention to
that but anyways I want to talk about rue and her relationship with her little
sister Jia because in this episode obviously like rue you know took Jia to
the carnival and which is which is good so for grew this is good because it
means her mother is trusting her more like when I first got clean and sober
like I was entrusted for a very long time like even after I had almost a year
and a half clean a year-and-a-half clean my son's mother was still reluctant to
let me watch him by myself alright so seeing the trust that's being
rebuilt with rue and her mom letting her you know take care of a little sister
like that's cool so make sure you pay attention to that because that's
something that helps encourage people's recovery but what we see later is that
you know Jia smokes pot with these dudes right and there's a few ways to look at
this all right a few different ways like one of them is this is a kid just trying
out some pot that's cool pot I have nothing against it it's legal
here in Nevada I help though for it whatever do your thing but something to
pay attention to and this is something that we need to pay attention to in our
real lives as well is modeling behaviors right but also Jia went through like a
traumatic experience seeing her sister overdosed alright like that will mess a
child up like those of you don't know I worked in addiction treatment for a
little over three years as well and there are many people who came in there
we're like their children right family their friends found them overdose
and had to call the you know paramedics or whatever and it can be traumatizing
and this is how addiction kind of has this ripple effect right because we
affect other people then they try to self-medicate so like when I saw that
gia was like you know messing around with weed like it has me concerned
because she might start abusing substances as a way to handle her own
problems as well so in Rouge case this is a tricky situation and something
again I could do a whole nother video on it I might if this kind of progresses
into something else but anyways like ruh this gives her even more than motivation
to stay sober and stay on the right track because her little sister might be
modeling her behavior or whatever room put her through a trauma that traumatic
experience then gia might want to turn to substances and that can turn out bad
and then this poor mother is gonna have to not one but two children who are
abusing substances so next let's talk about cat so in the last episode it
focused mainly around cat and what we know about cat is that she you know
obviously struggles with some insecurities and everything like that so
in this episode you know she goes to the carnival and there's that boy that she
was kind of flirting with and classes in you know they were hanging out at the
carnival and you know she clearly has a thing for him right but anyways you know
she says hey I'm gonna go get us some you know drinks or whatever and then she
comes back and she sees him talking to another girl
so I've done videos in the past about like youtubers you know who have been
cheated on and everything like that like this is what I'm talking about like what
you just saw the cat and obviously cat is not dating this guy but a lot of
people do things right especially in relationships that are based on in
securities okay like something I try to teach everybody is if you've been
cheated on it is not because of you it is because of them and their own
insecurities and you see how trivial this can be and especially in high
school like it can be really trivial but this is something I see grown adults to
hell this is something that I stole but with way into my 20s and my insecurities
right so Katzie I'm talking to this girl and then when
we hear the conversation this girl worked with his sister and she has a
boyfriend and that's why they were talking but Kat just seeing that she got
jealous and she went and hooked up with that other guy all right I'm like as I'm
watching this I'm like oh no no no girl no girl I go like walk up you know
whatever it is right because we're never going to have healthy relationships if
we constantly think that you know the guy we're seeing or the girl we're
seeing whoever it is might be flirting or talking with other people like one of
the things I love about my beautiful girlfriend Tristan is like she's one of
the first women I've dated where like jealousy isn't this like huge thing
right but I've done things to earn her trust and one of them's being clean and
sober not being a scumbag anymore you know what I'm saying but I want you all
to like really look at yourself and look like do you do this do you do this thing
because sometimes it's not even you know seeing that person talking to another
person sometimes it's just oh this person isn't giving me the love or
affection or attention that I feel that I deserve that I feel that I need and
then you run off and you start talking to somebody else to get that attention
that you need so I think as we you know see the season go on we're gonna see
more of what Kat does based on her insecurities so if you're somebody who
struggles with insecurities I recommend that you pay attention to Kat because
we're going to see how that causes problems in her life that's let's talk
about Cassie played by Sydney swings so this episode she ends up going to the
carnival with Mackay the dude she's seeing and in the last episode you like
she went you know to his frat party and everything like that and yeah they like
said they loved each other all right and my teenage love like all right that's
another whole nother video all right but anyways and I'm just now thinking of
this but she she gets upset with Mackay because he he tells you know his boy
that like they're just chilling right he doesn't say like they're dating this is
my girlfriend or anything like that and in McKay's mind like he's doing the
right thing because he's protecting her right he's protecting her because his
friends they think you know not great things about her because of her
past who was the video that we saw in the very first episode and everything
like that but what I was just thinking about too is because like I don't
recommend that you hang out with people or date people who are won't like tell
their friends that you guys are dating like that's not cool like that is gonna
turn into a mess but McKay had no problem bringing her to the frat party
so it seems like he just you know he has some like hesitancy for people who know
about her past all right and that's something that we really need to think
about like this is one of the reasons why it's so important to take things
slow right like so many people want to toss out the I love yous and you know
some people like you know these are high school students are watching but some
people you know they're moving in together some people are running off and
getting married it like like it's not just about like taking your time for the
sake of taking their time like one of the reasons you take time with
relationships before they get SuperDuper serious right you don't let your
emotional brain run things and you use some of your logical brain it's because
you haven't been through enough situations together to know if this is
the relationship right or if everything is hunky-dory like we all focus on the
honeymoon phase but like we need to like realize like it's important to know how
things are gonna go when things aren't great like how do you handle fights how
do you handle arguments how do you guys handle each other's friends how do you
handle each other's family members and all these other things all right so this
is one of the reasons why it might be good like even if you feel right even if
you feel like you love that person like tone it down just a little bit wait a
little bit longer until you're in more situations to say okay is this thing
going to work and obviously like what we're saying like this is a theme
throughout the show throughout this episode is that you see people making
bad decisions based on their emotions this is one of the reasons why I
advocate that we need to focus on our mental health our emotions drive us to
do things that we end up regretting right so Cassie in this situation
getting upset she ends up getting high she takes the Molly she goes on the
carousel and we all know what happened right and that's gonna be interesting
too because I can see Cassie trying to change who she is get into the serious
relationship with McKay but she might be struggling from you know that things she
was in you know hooking up and everything like that and when she was on
the carousel and you saw everybody see this right that might hurt her
confidence and wondering if she can change and here's the advice I have for
all of you like when we're trying to become that person we want to become
there's going to be setbacks we're gonna screw up we're gonna have these
roadblocks we're gonna have these speed bumps whatever it is right but do not
let that stop you from moving forward okay we're all gonna make mistakes we
are all flawed human beings okay the most we can do is learn from them and
try to grow moving forward all right so the last thing we'll talk about is Jules
okay so this episode had a lot to do with Jules but I just want to kind of
focus on you know the ending where she finally found out that Tyler is actually
Nate all right and this this was weird like just like purely opinion not like
God you know what can we learn from this thing like I don't know it was it was
just weird like that that whole scene was weird it feels like it felt like it
escalated very quickly and everything like that and you know obviously like
Nate has a thing for Jules but he you know he starts threatening her but like
even though that's weird like this is something I could see really happening
okay like Nate is the type of person who we've seen you know get physical with
people but like he is also somebody who will use emotional abuse emotional
manipulation right and that's what he was doing to Jules in that situation so
we see this a lot just in shows you know a black male and you know things like
that but Nate is somebody who does not have his own stuff in check like we saw
that in episode what was episode 2 where like this dude has some issues and he
has daddy issues he has all sorts of issues so if you start seeing signs like
this in a dude might not be a good idea to add a time it's not just dudes either
because I have my share of dating women who are not all there right
so like this is something we all need to watch out for here's something that I
think is really good about this show though okay like it's it's good but like
in the show we're seeing like it's obviously bad where they talk about
sending these lewd photos to one another because I think I mentioned it in my
first review of this show maybe like a lot of people do not will realize this
like even like like a lot of people said they're minors watching this show right
like I hope you guys are learning like this isn't fantasy like you can get in
trouble you can go on an offender list okay for sending photos and for
distributing photos okay like I hope everybody realizes this like
listen listen if your age and you want to send nudes do yo thing okay but I
really hope teenagers watching this show or understanding that there can be
consequences for this I mentioned in the first review of this show that I did
that I know of somebody right who was a teen and shared a photo of a 17 year old
and he ended up getting in a lot of trouble legally for that alright so make
sure that like you are learning from this like this is very very real and
obviously the laws are different in different states and everything like
that but like it's better to be safe than sorry okay
but anyways again let me know down in the comments below if there are certain
topics maybe that I brought up in there so you want me to dive deeper into this
is the first time where the video is a little bit longer but I focus on a few
different characters rather than just one so help me help you
let me know what you like what you don't like let me know if you want me to break
down more topics whatever it is just help guide me as I review this beautiful
