So, I'm probably kicking a hornet's nest by invoking #Tolkien, and yet, here I go. Stay with me.

in #LOTR, both book and movies, in my head, Sam was always the real hero. He refuses to let light and goodness fail, even if it means dragging the "hero" to his destiny.

"... how could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer." he says. "...there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."

I tell you that story to remind you that we are all Sam. Be Sam.

The darkness is not forever. The darkness is not insurmountable.

Dawn is coming, I feel it's traces on the horizon. There will be much cleanup, but dawn is coming. Hold tight to thoughts of the light.

I believe in us. I believe in you. I believe in dawn.

I've been too much in my head today, so spent some time scrolling through my pep talk IG collection whilst out walking. Sharing my favourite message of today below in case you needed a pep talk too.

(Apologies it's a bit sweary...)

"Good fucking morning glitter gremlin. Today's goal: be the kind of positive that annoys miserable people. You can still tell the fun suckers to fuck off, but do it with jazz hands. Keep spreading your sunshine my friends."
