"I wish the ring had never come to me, I wish known of this had happened", I replied to Gandalf. I lived my life in the shire, and I knew my life there was privilged.

I did not feel it so unlike myself, indeed, it made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I could not be happy again until I was rid of this cursed tool of evil.
