There and Back Again, a Hobbit's Tale

I am literally able to cry after the fifth time I watch LOTR or TH just for the sweetness and courage of hobbits especially of Frodo and Bilbo. I cry more for scenes like Frodo being the only one to offer to take The Ring to Mordor during the Council of Elrond or like Bilbo doing everything to help the company and risks his life to do this than for the actual sad and emotional scenes.

If you are a person who doesn't like Frodo Baggins I am taking you by the shoulders. I am shaking you gently. I am asking you if you've ever had to try to do something overwhelming. I am asking you if you've ever had to carry on in the face of insurmountable despair. I am asking if you've ever carried burdens no one else could know of. I am asking if you've never seen yourself in the monstrous. I'm asking you if you've ever been unable to trust your own mind. I am asking if your mental health has ever made you unreasonable. I'm asking if you've ever been too weak to take care of yourself, too weak to do the right thing in the end, too weak to do what, in your heart of hearts, you want to do. I'm asking if you've ever been too small to make a significant difference and if you tried anyway. I'm asking if you've ever faltered under something heavy placed on your shoulders. I'm asking if you've ever taken the next step despite never wanting to move again.
