Welcome to New York [and you can want who you want boys and boys and girls and girls] Sansa hated the busy streets of New York City. After a long day‚ there was nothing she appreciated more than a hot cup of tea (preferably the strawberry oolong that Joff bought for her twentieth name day) and absolute silence. Her sister’s frequent visits made sure to ruin that‚ and the incessant honks and beeps from the streets below their building didn’t help. And the worst part about the Big Apple? The Subway

Gone “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss in life is what dies inside us while we live”-Norman Cousins. I think half of me died along with him too. It has been 11 years since my dad passed away. I was brainwashed when Dedicators bought me into the city. They’d said I’d never get over his death‚ honestly‚ I didn’t.
