My heart aches for Min Yoongi. And it burns in anger for those who wished for him to be humiliated, beat down, and publically shamed for something that he had already taken accountability for — even the initial apology was above and beyond of what he had to do. I have always admired him for his strenght, tenacity, and resolve. But now all I can think about are all the other sides of him he has shown us throughout the years: his sensitivity, his caring nature, his weaknesses and vulnerable moments. He is strong but this is a heavy weight to bear even for people like him. I hope he knows it’s okay to feel whatever he feels, whether it’s sadness, anger, or pain. I hope he knows it’s okay to cry, to vent, to throw pillows at walls and kick chairs in rage. I hope he knows it’s okay to feel. And even more than that, I hope he knows he never has to go through that alone. He is a man who has walked through life with nothing but kindess and grace, and while kindess births enemies in those who are miserable and envious, it creates twice the amount of allies, people who will have his back through thick and thin.

In the end, it’s going to be okay. He’s going to be okay. But it still hurts. And that’s okay, too. Let’s all hurt together and show him that he was never, and will never, be alone in that feeling.

I hope all the members, especially Yoongi, can feel the love that they have for each other right now, and use it as nourishment to keep going. I hope they can look at the little number 7 etched onto their bodies and feel it tingle, reminding them that they are together even when they are apart. I hope Jungkook can look at the tattoo on his arm, the word ’Bulletproof’ standing out amongst the others, and know that this, too, will pass, and his brother will come out of it only stronger than before. I hope Jimin can feel the weight of ’Nevermind’ on his chest, the undeniable proof of his brother’s resolve, and realize that this is only another chapter in their lengthy book, and all chapters eventually come to an end and make way for newer, better ones.  I hope they can all feel the bond they share, carved into their skin, though it is far from skin deep – that bond runs down to their bones, and has been forged from their blood, sweat, and tears, never to be shaken by those who wish to covet what they have. I hope they know that they are also loved by us. And while our bond may be different, it is just as unyielding. I hope they know that we are not leaving them. I hope they remember the spring that waits just around the edge of winter. I hope they remember what they’ve taught us. I hope they sleep well.

Happy Sope Day!

On this day, 12 years ago, a shirtless, boxer-clad 17-year old Yoongi found a shivering, cold and sad 16-year old Hoseok laying down in the living room and he told him to take his ass to the bedroom (LOL).

Happy Sope day, fellow Sopies. May your true love show up in your life one day with chicken and music.

lighthearted moments from festa dinner 2022 ♡

[jiminnie-bts]

I’ve had a week to digest and process the Festa dinner and everything that came with it, and I can honestly now say that I am very excited for what’s to come, and extremely happy for the boys, and so proud of them for making this decision.

I love that they seem to have come to the conclusion that yes, they’re going through a rough patch right now, and making new music is difficult, and they’re exhausted, but this is still what they want to do—this version of the universe is still the one they want to exist in, and in order to protect what they have, they need to build a stronger foundation for it, so that when they come back to making music as the seven members of BTS again, they will have the energy and the skills to make it last.

Instead of letting the exhaustion and the feeling of being lost dictate their lives and direction as musicians going forward, they looked at those things in the eye and said, ”fuck you” and then took back control of their own narrative. They’re saying, ”fuck the rules of the world, fuck the expectations put on us—this is our story, and we get to decide how to write it.”

And that message is so fucking powerful.

Thank you, BTS

A lot of people in my life tend to ask me why I love BTS so much. What could they have possibly done for me, that I spend so much time listening to their music, consuming content about them, spending money on them, or talking about them? And my answer is always this: it’s not so much about what they’ve done for me, but about what I’ve done for myself because of them.

My life used to be a fucking mess. It still is, sometimes, but I now have more confidence in my ability to routinely clean up the mess. Before finding BTS, I had zero motivation. In anything. In keeping up relationships, in my studies and my career, or in my personal well-being. All the time, it felt like I was standing on the edge of this giant pit, teetering closer and closer every day, knowing that one day, I would slip off the edge and never get back up. But I didn’t have the will to step back. I lacked the motivation and the drive to even try and get away from that pit. And that changed when I found BTS.

It wasn’t a quick change. I didn’t wake up one day and have nothing but even ground around me—on most days, I was still there, standing at the edge. But I noticed that I was no longer moving closer to the pit. It was like something had stopped me, grounded me, and reminded me that there were other options. Other directions to go. And that something was BTS. Their music, their words, their stories, their laughter—all of it reminded me that there was another world out there—that staring down into the dark abyss wasn’t all there was to life. I had the tools to change my life—I just needed the push to finally try and use those tools. 

And that’s what BTS gave me. They gave me the push. The gentlest, softest push—the kind that didn’t try and force me to live a life I had become estranged from, but the kind that lingered on me like a warm touch, telling me to look around and see what else was out there. And I looked. And I stepped back. And I wandered around. And many times, I got lost along the way—even found myself back at the pit, greeting the familiar darkness. But for once, I didn’t give up. I didn’t stop looking and searching, and eventually, I would always find another path, another road to somewhere else. And every single step of the way, BTS was with me. Their words buried themselves into my very being, their laughter kept me company, and their songs guided me. And when things still get tough, when some days still feel impossible to get through, they are always here, with me, ready to remind me of where I used to be, and how far I have come.

That is what they mean to me. That is what I have accomplished, for myself, because they showed me I could. 

That is why I love them.

Happy 9th anniversary, BTS 💜
