I was once reading an article that said that her book was going to be published, and in a part of it she said something that I simply loved: "poetry has become a powerful platform to express emotions about important issues currently in the world and within one self, the silent wars we feel alone in. The reason I write is to connect with others who feel as passionately and powerfully about subjects like femininity, mental health, trauma and their own identity."
Como una persona que escribe y que aspira con poder tener un libro propio algún dia, esta explicación me llego al alma, y me hizo admirarla todavía mas.
Skam is a Norwegian show that started in 2015, and each season focuses on a main character, although they are all within the same group of friends. The first season follows the story of Eva Mohn (Lisa Teige) while the relationship she has with her boyfriend, Jonas (Marlon Valdés Langeland) is changing, she begins to stop being an "extension" of him, to get to know each other better. The second season is about the story of Noora Saetre (Josefina Frida Pettersen), Eva's friend. In this season you can see food problems,trust issues and how that is overcome. The third season begins with Isak Valtersen (Tarjei Sandvik Moe), who comes to accept the reality of his sexuality. The fourth and final season follows the story of Sana Bakkoush (Iamn Meskini) and the prejudices she faces in her day to day life because she is muslim, especially with her schoolmates, who have known her for several years. There is a pattern that follows here, which is that the series is always about surpassing and accepting, and that love is the most important thing, and it is above everything else. I think the last two seasons are the ones that deal the most with the hatred that thousands of people in the world receive everyday simply for prejudice, for not informing themselves, for not talking to the people they are hating for no good reason.
I remember that when I saw in tumblr or instagram photos with phrases from the chapters of Skam, I always thought it looked a lot like Skins. And when I started watching the series, I still believed that for a couple of chapters. Until I realized I did not, and I was soooo wrong.
If they told me that I have to describe Skam in three words, I would say: real, love and equality. This series shows teenagers as normal people, not idealizing them, and that makes you feel that these characters are exactly like you. They have to deal with the problems that many of us have, and many scenes made me feel that I was part of that world.
Another thing that I emphasize of Skam is that the actors have the age that they act, or at most a few more years. They aren't people that is 32 years old pretending to be 16, as is often the case in series from other countries. And that makes seeing what happens to them feels more real. It is also the first time that a series that isn't based in the United States (or England) is so successful. English is no longer the language that commands. It is a series that deals with issues that each of us can have, problems that we have to live with every day, and try to overcome them the best that they can. Be it guilt, a sick relationship, eating disorder, homophobia, mental illness, bullying, hatred of Islam. They are characters who suffer, but as the discourse of the last chapter says "du er ikke alene", meaning, you are not alone. No one is ever completely alone.
