Sex Education

I just finished binge-watching the fourth and final season of this British show on Netflix. I’m not sure I like some of the choices made for some of the characters in this season. This is the most unpredictable, over-the-top, funny, with interesting lead characters and original script and ideas from this British production. I loved some of the back stories of the leading and supporting characters. You really got a chance to know why these people are the way they are after knowing about their backgrounds.

I did find it hard to believe that these high school kids were as progressive in this rural country town. They deal with topics like; trans kids, disability, homophobia, sexism, racism. One black character Eric always wore make up to school and was totally outrageous. That said I found his character to be delicious if over-the-top. Gillian Anderson from the X-files and The Crown is excellent in it, giving an award winning performance as usual. I give this show four stars because it stands alone and is unlike anything out there that I’m aware of.

Social Media Break

TAKING A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

I took a weeks break from; social media, no caffeine, no phone calls to family or friends, no news, no violent tv, no red meat…and replaced it with Meditation, prayer, affirmations, reading, walks in the park, cardio, yoga, binge watched one love story on Netflix and drank a lot of water.

RESULTS: Initially I had caffeine withdrawal (headaches and stiff legs). A short-lived temptation to end the break. However, now I feel regenerated. My battery has been given a jump. I did not miss some of the stuff mentioned that I’d grown accustomed to and will consistently incorporate some of the good things I’ve neglected into my life.
