I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again."

I-I don’t talk to a lot of people and I enjoy them. I know what you mean. But I really appreciate you saying that .. // I don’t have the best confidence all the time so it really means a lot when you take the time to tell me!  *u*/) Thank you a lot.
