A few years ago, I moved back to New York<\/a> fresh off a breakup<\/a>, and with a sharp pain in my knee.<\/span><\/h2>\n

I wound up having a torn meniscus, and elected to have surgery, which was supposed to take two weeks to heal. What ended up happening? I had to walk with crutches for over three months, and a cane for many months after that. Months of physical therapy and countless doctor appointments led to confusing diagnoses that eventually went nowhere. The whole time, I felt like my life was completely on hold.<\/p>\n

The dream I thought I’d wanted \u2014 the life in California with my now-ex, the new exercises and dance moves I wanted to try \u2014 had all been completely put on hold.<\/span><\/h2>\n

I was traumatized mentally from the relationship, and physically unable to walk without pain. So I did what many have done before me in times of struggle: I turned to TV for a distraction.<\/p>\n

I watched a lot of shows while healing from my knee injury, but none stood out as much as Game of Thrones<\/a>.<\/i> I started watching the series soon after the surgery, and it brought me through those months, transporting me to a different world full of intrigue, danger, and infinite lore.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like many, I found myself immediately drawn to Daenerys Targaryen<\/a>. I already knew how her story ended; I could remember how shocked and horrified my friends had been when the finale aired.<\/span><\/h2>\n
