For those who still follow me. I finally met some of my old school Tumblr crushes in IRL. It's been what, 10 years? Good times.

“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.”

— C. S. Lewis (b. 29 Nov 1898), The Four Loves

                        SONG OF THE YEAR (WHAT IS LOVE) - MAMA 2018

Jihyo: Really… to us… We are a team that is lacking a lot, sincerely thank you for giving us so much love. There are a lot of groups who are excellent singers. I felt it while watching today’s performances, that they put in their best effort in preparing and promoting. I’m not sure whether we’re in the position to be able to receive this award. Sincerely thank you for giving us for huge award for the past 3 years. Firstly, thank you to Park Jinyoung PD-nim for writing such a great song, What is Love?. Thank you to Jung-wook CEO (and other high-ranking staff names) as well as all the staff from JYPE. And also, thank you to all the oppa and eonni who are always together with us. There are a lot of people who we need to thank, but this year especially, I am really thankful to the members. While go through the busy schedules for the past 3 years, our body and heart, especially this year, became really tired. I want to say thank you and you’ve worked hard to our members for always becoming strength and comfort for one another, and for brightening the atmosphere on the scene. And even though it would be insufficient even if we say thank you for a hundred times, thank you to ONCE who always see us with smiles and giving unbelievable support every time we stand on stage. Thank you very much. There are a lot of people who said that they gained strength and energy from our performances. The source of the strength that everyone gained is from our fans. Thank you very much. In the future, TWICE will bring better songs and performances full of energy for everyone.

Tzuyu: Firstly, I want to thank everyone who have helped us, and thank you to all the older brothers and sisters in JYPE. Really thank you to our members who have been working hard. And also, very thank you to ONC, our fans, who are always supporting us. It’s all because of you that we’re able to stand here on this stage and to receive this award. Really thank you to you guys. Thank you.

Jihyo: Thank you for giving us such a great award. We will continue to become TWICE who works hard in the future. Thank you!
