Frodo

I told this to close friends before, but it’s worth writing again.

When I first read Lord of the Rings, I thought Frodo was boring. He wasn’t heroic like Aragorn, nor was he wise like Gandalf. Frodo was just walking and “suffers” from the ring. I would skip Frodo’s parts when I re-read.

Having now been through what I have experienced, I would still skip Frodo’s parts on re-read. Not because I thought it’s boring, but because the invisible pain hits very close to home.
