Also fits Galadriel and her decision to rather remain Galadriel and go into the west instead of become the "Dark Queen". She's literally the oldest living being besides Sauron itself residing on Middle Earth by that point.
I'll be done with the post cancer regimen. Currently they have my hormone levels through the floor to try and prevent the cancer from coming back. Keeps me weak and tired and all around exhausted all the time.

Wife: I hate being in this situation!
Therapist: So do all who live to see...

Me too, Bilbo.
Best simile ever. Still relatable. More so, even. Pity I don’t have a ring of power to show for it
Same but with endlines I'll never finish
It’s not my fault Tolkien has a quote for every possible mood
