12 Ways Game of Thrones Can Make You Feel Better About Your Life

Game of Thrones fans know there's nothing easy about living in Westeros. Sure, Jon Snow occasionally finds a reason to flash his swoon-worthy smile, and Daenerys Targaryen has her moments with gorgeous men, but for the most part, it's all blood, war, and hellacious circumstances. Somehow, our favorite characters keep their heads up and fight until their last breaths. It's pretty admirable, especially when you consider all the things we complain about on a regular basis. If you need a reminder that your life isn't actually that bad, keep scrolling for a Games of Thrones-style reality check.
