There are very few people who can go through something devastating and come out on top. Not carry baggage, but learn from the situation, and come out wiser and happier. Its tough to be a strong independent woman these days. I think that we still struggle with our identities in society. We want to work and be self-sufficient, but we also have this soft motherly side also. Just don't get in the way of our protective instincts. Some women just have this innate ability to grow with every tough circumstance, its really amazing to watch.
There is this new HBO Series 'Game of Thrones'.
Its really well written.
Its a fantasy series, but they really downplay the fantasy aspects (Dragons, Huge wolves, nightwalkers, etc.)
There is this character Daenerys Targaryen that has really inspired me.
In the first few episodes she was childish and very very naive.
But her brother married her to this barbarian early in the show to gain the control of his army to take back the throne that rightfully belongs to the Targaryen family. The barbarian is very rough and shes thrown into this whole situation to being married to a man she's met once, becoming his queen, and he speaks another language and his customs are brutish, but she adapts. She learns his language and learns how to treat him how a wife should. They fall for each other, and she gets pregnant. Suddenly she has all the power, the barbarian will do anything for her, and she starts acting like a wise and noble queen should. Its amazing.
There is this one scene where his customs and beliefs say that if she can eat a whole animal heart, that her child will be a boy, his heir and be strong and a future leader. She chokes it down like a trooper, and his whole tribe starts to love and look up to her.
I look forward to every episode on Sundays. Its a really engrossing story.
Check it out.
