THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO "LOVE MYSELF"

Imagine you're a full grown adult. You sit on a chair, the world problems getting to you. You heave a sigh of stress, & suddenly feel tired.

You take out your phone & start looking through YouTube,trying to find something to distract your mind with.

There you see a video, titled 'Scenery by V'. Dated from over a decade ago..

The nostalgia suddenly rushes back to you, visions swimming in your head. You click on the video. It starts playing. As the song continues on, memories fly back.

You remember,

Kim Namjoon & his dimples,

Kim Seokjin & his dad jokes,

Min Yoongi & his hardcore rapping,

Jung Hoseok & his sunshine smile,

Park Jimin & his cute eye smile,

Kim Taehyung & his deep voice, &

Jeon Jungkook being good at everything.

How you were obsessed with them when you were younger.

You had posters of them hanging in every inch of your room.

Your clothes and merch you bought.

Daydreams about you marrying them.

Streaming their videos because, you loved them so much.

Cried over 2018 MAMA when they said they almost disbanded. Grieved with Taehyung when his grandmother died.

How Jimin's "excuse mee" made you giggle.

Memories long gone.

You remember the website, you pulled up back, then titled "BTS's Disband"

How they cried hours over that. All you could think about was how you would never see them again.

Or their laugh

Or Run BTS! Episodes

Or their voices

Or awards

Or the joy you feel every time you see them.

Tears roll down your cheeks as you remember each and every one of their personalities.

All over.

A kid called you from the other room,catching your attention. You remember you've a wonderful family now.

You quietly chuckle. A thing from the past still making you cry.

You hug the phone to your chest

Thank you for teaching me how to "love myself"
