Hello, you guys!!
I hope you are staying safe and I hope these blogs bring some positivity for you, even if it’s for an inch of a day.
Today’s blog is going to be about an sci fi show known as “Sense8”, which is a Netflix original and its focus is on eight individuals around the globe finding themselves connected telepathically and emotionally to each other. They find out that they have the shared ability to connect with one another's thoughts and actions.
Their need to know how exactly they are connected goes beyond simple curiosity, while they pursue answers, a mysterious organisation hunts them down, intent on destroying them, as they are different from mere homo sapiens.
The show is just two seasons long but honestly, the amount of different concepts and feelings that it covers is really something beautiful. The range that this show has is something that I really appreciate about it. The different characters, plot arches, makes it something to really look forward to.
These eight characters represent eight very different types of person, separated by sexuality, gender identity, race, religion, and morality. We can see all our main eight characters and of course, the many supporting actors, deal with so many situations such as addiction, fame, mafia rivalry, childhood trauma, societal pressures, accepting yourself as who you are, coming out of the closet, etc and coping with all of that together.
Their differences is what made them stronger, as the mental connection made them share, and also allowed them to see each other for who they are, without any filters, without any hesitation. They shared their true selves with one another which is so rare today, everyone has a mask (excluding the corona ones), everyone tries to put their best image out there and hides their vulnerabilities, hides who they are and what they are feeling, which has led to no one knowing someone’s true self.
We also see our characters grow a lot in this show, but one of the things I absolutely love is how they always are there for each other, whatever happens, they will never let anyone face a dangerous situation alone, even while being on the other side of the planet, while they are separated by geographical borders. (do not forget this is sci fi okay)
Sense8 has presented the idea that you can’t love someone else until you love yourself. This might seem a little cliché, yet it’s such an important message. We often treat people badly because we treat ourselves badly. We need to first learn to love and accept ourselves for who we are, before we do that for someone else. Letting someone else be the reason for your happiness is never the solution.
SAPPINESS SCALE – SAPPY + MOPEY BUT HAPPY
Leave yourself open to love always. You should try to have a heart ready to provide someone with support and empathy.
Thanks for reading
