#JAMES is really smart with the way he chooses to answer questions, and I think that might be part of why his Group Therapy segment ended with the UNPROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENT: “WALKING ON EGGSHELLS.” It’s an idiom about being really careful with what you say or do because you don’t want to upset someone, make them feel bad, or make the situation worse — basically like having to “walk on eggshells.” You can kind of see that in the way he answers. He often avoids directly pointing at someone if the answer might embarrass them or make them feel bad. Like when he was asked which dorm memory he’d want to erase, he answered about dorm life in general instead of naming one specific moment or person. When he said some of his stuff goes missing because the members use it, he still didn’t name anyone. And when he was asked who gives the best and worst advice, he chose not to name anyone because he didn’t want to compare people like that. But when he does have to name someone, he usually keeps it playful and unserious so it doesn’t come off too harsh. It was kind of the same when he was asked what he was most nervous about before debut. That’s a pretty serious and specific question, but he answered really broadly with, “I’m nervous everywhere.” And when they followed up by asking if he was nervous in the session too, he turned it into a joke about eggs instead: “I’m nervous flipping eggs… When you flip them, your day is ruined when the yolk pops.” To me, it feels like he knows he gets nervous easily, but he doesn’t really want to dig too deeply into those feelings or get too specific, especially in a show that isn’t meant to be that serious.

Bilbo Baggins: When a Life Is Stretched to Its Limit There is a line spoken by Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings that has stayed with me: “I’m old, Gandalf. I know I don’t look it, but I’m beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.” At first, this might sound like nothing more than the complaint of someone who has lived too long. But what caught my attention was not that Bilbo says he is old. It is the way he describes that feeling: “I feel thin.” He does not say that he is in pain. He says that he is being stretched. And from there, I began to see this line as an image of a being carrying a burden greater than the scope of an ordinary life. This is my personal interpretation. Tolkien does not directly present a concept of “capacity” or “the elasticity of a life” in the way I am using those ideas here. I am simply taking Bilbo’s own image of “butter and bread” and using it to look more deeply into the feeling he is describing. Too Much Bread and Too Little Butter If I had to imagine that feeling through another image, I would think of a balloon. When it is in its natural state, it has a certain shape. As the pressure increases, it begins to stretch. It has not burst. But it is no longer in its original state. And I think Bilbo is much the same. He has possessed the Ring for sixty years. Yet what is remarkable is that, after all that time, Bilbo is still Bilbo. He still loves the Shire, loves Bag End, cares about Frodo, writes books, smokes, and talks with Gandalf. The Ring has affected him, but it has not completely taken over who he is. That is why I do not think Bilbo’s endurance should simply be understood as: “He was so strong that the Ring could not affect him.” Quite the opposite. The words “I feel thin, sort of stretched...” show that he has already begun to feel that pressure from within. And this is where the image of “butter and bread” becomes especially interesting. The piece of bread does not necessarily have to be understood as the Ring itself. In the way I see it, it is something broader. It is the entire scope of what Bilbo is carrying: the passing years, his unusual existence, the pressure of the Ring, and everything that comes with it. The butter, meanwhile, is Bilbo himself. A finite being with finite capacity. A little butter is enough for a reasonably sized piece of bread. But when it has to be spread across a piece of bread that is too large, it has to become thinner. And that is what I feel in Bilbo. It is not that he suddenly becomes weak. It is that the same being is having to stretch itself to accommodate a burden that has grown beyond the boundaries of an ordinary life. “Stretched” Does Not Mean Destroyed This is the part I find most important. Bilbo is still alive. He is still himself. He still has things he loves and still has the ability to experience the world around him. But something has appeared within him that perhaps was not there before: He feels that he is being stretched too thin. So, being “stretched” does not mean that Bilbo has been destroyed. It shows that he is still enduring, but that his endurance has begun to leave a mark. Being able to endure does not mean being unaffected. A person can endure something for a very long time and still become tired. Someone can continue living almost normally while inwardly feeling that they are being stretched too thin. Bilbo is in precisely that state. And perhaps that is why his next words feel so natural: “I need a holiday, a very long holiday...” I like the way Bilbo says this. He does not try to prove that he can endure more. He simply realizes that he needs to leave. To me, this is a remarkable form of awareness. Bilbo does not wait until he has completely lost himself before recognizing the problem. He realizes that he is being stretched. And from that realization, he wants to step away from the circumstances creating that pressure. Recognizing Your Limit Is Also a Form of Strength If we continue with the image of the balloon, Bilbo has enough elasticity to withstand that pressure for decades. But that elasticity is not infinite. The more it is stretched, the farther it moves from its original state. And what catches my attention most is that Bilbo is still aware enough to recognize this. From this perspective, I see Bilbo’s decision to leave in a different way. He does not leave because he has failed. He leaves because he has recognized his limit. To me, this is much more meaningful than simply saying that Bilbo is “strong” because he was able to possess the Ring for so long. A being can be remarkably resilient and still have limits. And being able to recognize those limits is not weakness. It is awareness. Bilbo does not say: “I can endure more.” He says, in a very different way: “I need a holiday.” Perhaps that simplicity is exactly what makes the line so thought-provoking. He does not need to prove how strong he is. He only needs to be honest about what he is feeling. Why Is the Image of the “Butter” So Sad? That is also why I find Bilbo’s image of the butter so sad. Bilbo is still there. He has not disappeared. He has not been destroyed. But he feels as though he has been spread too thin. The image does not describe a moment of collapse. It describes a process. The burden creates pressure. The pressure forces Bilbo to adapt. That prolonged adaptation makes him feel increasingly stretched. And eventually, he realizes that he cannot continue that way forever. That is what makes the words “I feel thin” so important. “Thin” is not a declaration of weakness. It is a sign that a being has been pulled away from its natural state for too long. And recognizing that opens a choice for Bilbo: To leave. It makes me see Bilbo differently: “Bilbo is not a being that cannot be stretched; he is a being that has endured pressure for a very long time, yet remained aware enough to recognize that his capacity to stretch is not infinite.” And perhaps that is what I like most about this line. Strength is not always about enduring more. Sometimes, strength is knowing that you have endured enough.

Naira Marley live IG I have always regarded Poco Lee as my brother. i know the love and respect I had for him. I also know how many times I supported him behind the scenes. But I have now come to realize that the same Poco Lee I treated like family was working with the people who wanted to see me fall this nigga needs to be sentence to jail . When I was in trouble, Poco Lee was the one who gave my location to the man who I was having misunderstanding with although I did not but why can't he act like a friend. This nigga has been h¥rting me, but I never knew. He tr£ated me well to my face and betr@yed me behind my back. Poco Lee showed me hat£, but I realized it too late. You all see him linking up with every artist in the industry. You see him as someone who is friendly with everyone. The truth is, he is only friendly because he is a sp¥. He gathers your secrets and gives them to your enemi£s, and then you think he is a good person. i am not speaking out of hat£. He has f@rced me to come live and address the public. People kept telling me that he does not love me, but I refused to believe it. People kept telling me that Poco Lee is a sp¥, but the respect I had for him and the way I saw him with everyone made me ignore it. Now y'all are dr@gging me for speaking the truth. He is currently in UK police, and he deserves to be sentenced to j@il. I don't give a damn if he is inn@c£nt or not, because I am completely disappointed in him. He showed me hat£, so I will never forgive him. I will continue to speak out. This is only the beginning. All my en£mies will come and beg me for forgiveness.
