Hello, Mr George Raymond Richard Martin

Hello, Mr Martin.

Thanks to you, I spent my last 2 months reading the first installment of the Game of Throne's - A Song of Ice and Fire - also, marathoning Game of Throne's TV series.
It was 800 pages of crazy-prologue-of-epic-saga and 60 hours worth watching drama.
Well, small wonder it took me a while to finish,
I've got to sneak a lil bit of my time here and there - either to read or watch it,
such a compelling story that managed to keep me up day and night.

I guess it's crystal clear that I enjoy every second I spent watching and reading,
that I fall for every single piece of it.
To me, when I can feel the character's emotion in a story - it earns 4 out of 5 stars automatically,
and when it's combined with amazing costume, gorgeous actors and beautiful places,
I put my heart and soul on it with pleasure.

I know how weird this would sound,
but I did learn a lot from your characters, Mr Martin.
Thing is, coincidentally, last month was my birthday's month,
and being introduced to your magnum opus, was like I gave myself a perfect birthday present.
This little truth helps me to realize that I am entitled to my own happiness,
that I can't rely on anyone for it,
that I should stop expecting people to do things that will please me.

Afterall, no one can protect anyone, eh?



Xoxo,
a girl whose birthday wish is for you to have a long life to finish the book series.
