The Hobbit-Blog: By Ashlyn V.

Gandalf says that Bilbo is "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all" and Bilbo says he is happy to be just that. I would be happy, too, to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all" because if I were someone who has experienced everything the world has to offer, I would not have anything to want. Although I would like to do and see everything on Earth, I want to be able to say "I want to go there, I want to do that!". Otherwise, my life would be full of excitement and adrenaline for only a little period of time and the rest of it would be left with time do something I have either already done or to do nothing at all. But on another token, I would not be happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all".
I would not be pleased to be just one person among this massive world of events and millions of other people because there are so many things I want to try and do before I die. I don't want to do the same routine everyday and be a nobody that lives in a cave. I want everyone to know my name! The world we live in is like a library. Its full of stories and we can pass by the books and only wonder what they are about unless we peel back the covers and see what's in store. What I mean by this is that if we sit in our cozy boxes and stay in our comfort zones looking out the windows, we can only imagine how much fun something could be rather than experiencing it for ourselves. We have to step outside of the box and live life to the fullest!
