A Hobbit of the Shire; running free with the winds of the North; I long to ride with the men of the Mark and to sing with the Elves of Rivendell.

I saw a star rise high in the evening sky, It hung like a jewel, Softly shining. I saw a star fade in the evening sky,
The dark was too deep and so light died, Softly pining.
For what might have been, For what never was. For a life, long lived For a love half given
Because I’m extremely tired of people dismissing the women of LotR, here’s a quick summary.
Galadriel:
Rebelled against the Valar and decided to stay in Middle-earth, desiring to build a kingdom and rule over it. She was one of the few to distrust Annatar and later used the ring Nenya to protect and preserve her people, later throwing down the walls of Dol Guldur herself alongside Thranduil and his folk. She was notoriously prideful and ambitious, but a kind ruler all the same.
Eowyn:
Niece of Theoden, she guarded Meduseld until the king’s return and upon being refused to ride alongside the men to battle, Eowyn disguised herself as a man and fought at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. There, she challenged the Witch-king and defended the mortally wounded Theoden, slaying the Lord of the Nazgul and fulfilling an ancient prophecy issued by Glorfindel himself at the Battle of Fornost near an age ago.
Arwen:
The daughter of Elrond, she promised herself to Aragorn, a mortal man, and wove him a banner which he then used as his sigil throughout the War of the Ring. Arwen made the choice to stay in Middle-earth in order to be with Aragorn, not sailing West with her father and kindred, and in turn deciding to die a mortal death.
I would rather share one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.

Mine is the choice of Lúthien, and as she so have I chosen, both the sweet and the bitter.
