When I rewatched Bilbo’s birthday party scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, there was one very brief moment that made me pause for quite a while: Gandalf’s dragon-shaped firework. I found myself wondering: Why does a dragon — a symbol of a world of adventure and danger — appear in the Shire in the form of a joke? At first glance, it is simply a very Gandalf-like fireworks display. Merry and Pippin mischievously send the dragon firework flying across the sky. The crowd of dancing Hobbits immediately panics and drops to the ground. Then the dragon explodes into a spectacular burst of fireworks, leaving Merry and Pippin’s faces covered in soot. I laughed. But the more I watched it, the more I felt that there was something very special about the humor in this moment. Because the dragon appears in a place where it seems completely out of place. The Shire is a world of parties, gardens, little homes, meals, and very ordinary pleasures. The Hobbits live lives almost completely removed from the great upheavals of the outside world. Dragons, however, belong to an entirely different world. They evoke distant lands, adventures, treasures, battles, and dangers that an ordinary Hobbit would never want to encounter. And yet Peter Jackson places that image right in the middle of a birthday celebration. But he does not show us a real dragon. He shows us a dragon made of fireworks. That is what makes this scene so interesting to me. Something frightening has been transformed into entertainment. A creature belonging to stories of adventure appears in the Shire, only to make everyone panic for a few seconds before they laugh again. The outside world has touched the Shire, but it has not truly entered yet. And Bilbo’s reaction makes me pay even closer attention. While everyone around him reacts with surprise to the dragon, Bilbo receives it with a very unusual calmness. He says: “There hasn’t been a dragon in these parts for a thousand years.” The line sounds very funny. But when I think about Bilbo’s life, I see another layer to it. The Hobbits around him know dragons only as things from distant stories. Bilbo, however, has actually stepped into that world. I am reminded again of Thrór’s map in Bag End, which preserves the traces of the journey to Erebor and the image of the dragon connected to Bilbo’s story. So when I see the dragon appear over the Shire, I cannot help but connect it with that past. In Bag End, the world of adventure lies on a map. At the party, it flies across the sky in the form of a firework. And in Bilbo’s life, that world was once real. From map to fireworks, from memory to amusement. Because it shows that Bilbo is living between two worlds. One is the Shire — where he can celebrate his birthday, drink, eat, and live peaceful days. The other is the world he once entered, a world of journeys and things that most Hobbits know only through stories. And then Gandalf appears. I really like the way the film ends this moment. Not with anything grand. There is no warning. No triumphant music. Gandalf simply walks over, grabs Merry and Pippin by the ears, and scolds the two troublemakers with an expression that is both stern and funny. A dragon has just flown across the sky. But in the end, everything returns to the laughter of a birthday party. And that is what makes me think even more deeply about the Shire. Perhaps this is how the film shows us the distance between two worlds. The world of adventure is already there, but to the Hobbits, it is still only a bit of fun. They can see the dragon. They can be frightened. But a few seconds later, the dragon turns into fireworks, and life goes on. We, the viewers, know something they do not. That this world will not remain fireworks forever. There will come a time when stories of distant lands will no longer remain on a map. There will come a time when Bilbo will no longer simply sit and look at them. And then it will be Frodo’s turn to leave the Shire. So when I look back at that fiery dragon streaking across the sky on Bilbo’s birthday night, I no longer see only a beautiful fireworks display. I see a strange world gently brushing against an ordinary one. A dragon appears in the Shire, but it is still only fireworks. Perhaps that is precisely what makes the moment beautiful. Because at that moment, the dangerous world is still far away. And the Shire can still laugh.

And now we arrive at the reason why virginity is not just important but it's the entire basis of a relationship. Once you lose that it's over for you, you're bound to that person who can just move on. The heart is a different matter though and sadly for a man, it's exactly the same as the body for a woman. Will a relationship ever be the same again after your first one? I want to say yes, from the depth of my soul, I really do. But I don't know. Even with her, it was on top of earlier broken glass which made the relationship feel fake for years. Song very related (look up its lyrics). The mind is fully associative and the notion of time doesn't work within it like people think. Every single moment you live is embedded on top of both the past and the future. When you're with someone, even after the unnatural "break up" that person will be with you whenever you're with someone else. That's why they call it a "broken heart", the moment you feel something, you heart will falter, much like a broken leg will cause you to limp. By the way this isn't just psychological but physiological, it shows up on MRIs and is called Broken Heart Syndrome. It can even kill you in some cases. That's why both men and women with a body count are pure poison for your soul, they will drag you into the pit of hell with them out of which you will never emerge again. I want to believe that love can be real again, for someone like us. But I know the unsurmountable gap making it so unlikely that only God can make it so. [...And just so there's no confusion, I refused to fornicate despite the length of our relationship. I thank God every single day that despite the pressure I held on to my morals and never gave up my virginity of body.]
