A Letter to the Lannister Family

Or really me complaining about my new favorite show.

A Letter to the Lannister Family
Screenrant

I have always been the one late to the party with television shows, but I always seem to miss the biggest spoilers and never get told how it ends. This time after months of my friend Doug telling me about Game of Thrones, and hearing my grandparents enjoying it, I HAD to start it! I'm only on season two episode seven, but I am hooked, I even bought the books. But something about the Lannister family struck me as off, even hateful? I decided since I can't send parchment and a raven to the family, I'll just complain about them on the internet, that's what real people do right?

To the family who rules the Westerlands, thank you for showing me what true dislike really is. Times are different, but betrayal never changes. Starting from the great Queen Cersei herself having relations with her twin brother and strengthening her dislike toward (now deceased) husband King Robert Baratheon. Ending with none other than Joffrey, the arrogant little boy who is the one person that shouldn't have power becoming king. I'm not sure why I have so much dislike for a powerful family who obviously knows to right their wrongs and stay knowledgeable (except Joffrey). Your saying being, "hear me roar," but aside from Tyrion I only hear you whimper. Cersei you being so full of pride to allow Joffrey to take the iron throne and start the war of lifetime. Assassinating Eddard Stark when his life was more than the Lannisters combined.

To the family who's sigil is that of a mighty lion being ironic because the family is a bunch of cowards. So caught up in the downfall of the Targaryen's many years ago, that you are too blind to see how many houses wish to see your own downfall. But with all of the bad your family has caused, a good has come from it. Tyrion Lannister, the wicked mind with the drunk body full of knowledge. The one who wasn't in this for a war, but to survive and keep friends as friends not enemies. The family of poison apples, using the one bullied being the candy apple. I might not like this family, but I await the episode they fall and their kingdom is destroyed.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
