sometimes I think the obsession with being scared of turning [X] years old is due to our society thinking that we have expiration dates for our dreams and achievements, but the reality is that life is so much more versatile and complex with so much more beauty than we ever were exposed to in media so we didn't think possible, anyway, we are the custodians of our dreams and they dont care about your age

omg also, this is so crazy because since 2013 i've been growing up and living with bangtan by my side. of course they will always be with me in my mind and heart but this will be the first time in my life since 2013 that I will be ~away~ from all them. do you know what i mean? I knew this moment would come and I've been waiting for it, but its still a sad feeling.. but I'm so proud of them and I love them so much! I'm going be here forever! the impact they've made and still make on my life is impossible for me to someday not be here.

lmao he’s adorable for @taee ♡ (trans. cr. jungkookasia__)

listening to yet to come now gets even more emotional

i hold so much respect for bts as artists and as people. it must have been incredibly difficult from beginning to end, and even then, i still respect them even more for choosing to do what’s best for themselves as individuals — also, them taking the time to tell us this directly is pretty caring and in true bts fashion. they really did sit down to explain themselves even if it wasn’t necessary because above all they care for us, and now it’s time for them to take care of themselves.

i think it’s natural to not feel alright with the news, we all sort of react differently to things, but keep in mind the group you chose to stan here has been working for years now, and found a level of success that is actually more burdensome than great and between tight schedules, pressure and many more factors a person can get burnt-out. even with less than this you can feel really bad, imagine what it is to deal with what they dealt with. — just put aside what we know so far about bts and their hardships. imagine for a second the things they chose not to tell us about and will probably never say because those are their struggles and they need privacy, or simply do not feel like telling them. just focus on that.

space is needed, breaks are needed and them taking some time to heal, think for themselves and do their own projects is actually amazing news. yes, it is bittersweet, it may feel like this can possibly be the end of everything and a lot of fans really grew up with them or found them in a moment where they truly needed something or someone, and bts became their safe spot. it must be horrible yes, but remember the boys are just people. remove the flashes, the expensive clothes, the everything you see through the lens and your screens, and they are really just people, and people need some time to breathe. they will be fine and we all be fine too.

hes so mature

Jimin’s Post ❇️

ARMYs, it is our 9 year anniversary. 

This is the precious day when BTS was born and we were able to meet you for the first time. 

I am really glad that we were able to see you today, on such a precious day.

There are a lot of things I want to say and there are a lot of emotions I want to convey, but as the years go on, I say the same things. 

“Thank you”, “I am sorry”,“I love you”— the weight of these simple words is starting to feel heavier.

However, these are the only words I have to express how I feel. 

For always running to us whenever we announced performances, for letting us see you whenever we missed you, I am so grateful to you.

For always making you wait, for the fact that what we give back to you is smaller than the support you give us, I am sorry.

Regardless, for always staying by our side, I love you so much.

While I feel like time has gone by so quickly, looking back at the path that we’ve walked, I feel like we’ve experienced a lot and felt a lot of emotions together.

I’m really looking forward to the memories we’ll make in the future, to find out what will happen, what kind of things will make us cry and laugh.

Here are my words to you, I do not say them lightly.

We want to be with you for as long as we possibly can.

In order for that to happen, we will strive to repay you with even better versions of ourselves.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for always loving our music, our performances and us.

Keep reading

Why does this hurt soo bad

Your highness 🧎I deserve death

(T/N: Written in very formal, historical language. Asking to be killed was a way of acknowledging a mistake made towards the king and asking for forgiveness.)

[EDIT]

Could I be permitted to make one last request before my death? 🧎🏼‍♂️ Ayo sire* drop the beat

(T/N: *‘사또’ was traditionally the title for the governor of a village or district.)

god the loneliness of young adulthood is so real

it’s just trying not to cry on public transport and doing dishes

[2/2] “집안이 다시 일어서고 여유가 좀 생겼을 때쯤, 남편이 대뜸 제 이름으로 모델 학원을 등록했다는 거예요. 저는 그럴 돈이 어딨냐며 말렸지만 남편이 더 완고했어요. 결국 그렇게 시니어 모델에 발을 들였죠.” “모델이 되니 어떠세요?” “예전에 사기를 당했을때 우울증과 공황장애가 와가지고. 비행기를 못 탔어요. 심지어 짐까지 다 부치고 나서 집으로 돌아온 적도 있어요. 20년을 절 괴롭혀왔는데 그게 거짓말처럼 없어졌어요. 밥도 잘 먹고 잠도 잘 자요. 이제는 지하철을 기다리면서도 누가 보던 말던 워킹 연습을 해요. 버스 정류장에서도 바닥 보도블럭이 꺼끌꺼끌해도 무조건 포즈 연습을 하고요. 옷을 차려입고 문 밖으로 나오면 그 순간부터 속으로 외치죠. ‘나 모델이야’.”

[2/2] “When we got back on our feet and I was able to have some time to breathe, my husband told me out of nowhere that he had signed me up for a modeling class. I told him we don’t have the money for that and tried to stop him, but boy, my husband was stubborn. That’s how I got into senior modeling.” “How does it feel to be a model?” “Back when I fell victim to fraud, I was so depressed and developed a panic disorder so I couldn’t fly on airplanes. There was one time when I even checked in all my luggage and then just ended up coming home. The depression and panic disorder tormented me for 20 years, but then they disappeared like a puff of smoke. Now my appetite is back and I sleep well. And I’ll even practice my runway walking as I’m waiting for the subway, regardless of who sees me or not. I also practice posing at the bus stop no matter how uneven the sidewalk pavers on the ground are. The moment I get dressed up and go outside, it’s as if I am yelling to the world, ‘I’m a model.’”
