In the spirit of Riddles in the Dark, here’s my attempt to come up with a riddle, in the event that I must confront my own Gollum…
The less you want it
the more it comes
The more you want it
the less it comes
It has no voice
yet it can be heard
It has no form
yet it can be felt
What am I?

P.S. It can sometimes feel like you have fallen into the depths of a Goblin cave, finding yourself in a place with no clear path ahead, where the only way out is to face the Gollum himself.
Gollum lurks within us, in our fears, in our doubts, waiting to challenge us at every step of the way. So what do we do with this Gollum?
Sorry, no profound words to follow this question.
I just think coming up with this riddle was a fun thing to do. If anything, this little act of creation helped me triumph over some relentless ‘thoughts.’
