Hi, Taehyung-ah 🤗🤗🤗 How are you? I hope that things are going well for you. I hope you have so many amazing and trusted friends whom you can rant to 24/7. I’m super grateful to those friends of yours, whoever they are. I now miss your late night Weverse comments and Instagram updates. I miss those lives, too. Thankfully, you got so many awesome content for us, like your brand ambassador updates, magazines, and other activities, and then came your album and a paradise of Taehyung content. It was a blast! I wish you’ll do that again. Let’s do that again in the future, okay? I can understand if you were very busy. Just be healthy. Don’t forget to be happy, too. My only wish is that, since you worked so hard, may you also be able to protect your hard-earned possessions and that you don’t let anyone ride on you and take advantage of you. No matter how much your enemies and antis sabotage and cancel you out, the fact that your content got sold out organically and quickly achieved those coveted milestones without any money wasted on marketing is a testament of how effective your clout alone was. Since you face dangerous training every day, don’t lose your values about human rights and peace, which I know are first eliminated by the battlefield - and any preparation for it, ironically, while the government, leaders, and soldiers claim to fight for them. I wonder what kind of talk your unit has during your drills. I’m afraid it’s mocking and condescending, like what harassers and violent people do, or what gossipers, schemers, and hackers-stalkers would have shouted at their target if they could do so. If you find yourself in such a situation, don’t be eaten by it, and don’t conform to such a twisted and corrupt system or organizational culture. Find ways to voice out your opinion as you call them out and don’t lose the values, inspirational beliefs, skills, and confidence that have made you successful and victorious over your circumstances before. When you work hard, know that it is for a good thing, and that it is rewarding a good deed. Please be in that kind of situation. Protect yourself. Defend yourself. Be kind to yourself. Don’t get hurt, physically and emotionally, okay? Don’t be sad. Actually, if you’re sad, try to cry. It will not only make you feel better, it will also give you some insights on how you can fight better. It’s a reminder that God watches and that there are many amazing people in the present and from the future who watch you, too. You deserve those amazing people, fans, friends, and comrades with you, fighting alongside you, and celebrating all the amazing things you’ve achieved together. Don’t spoil the celebration by being shy, too. A lot of people, like those gossipers, don’t understand true humility. Don’t be one of them. Also, don’t be afraid that sadness comes after happiness. It might be a difference between culture and religion, but I think that we should just live every moment of our life: celebrate when we’re happy, cry when we’re sad, be angry about harassment, and continue to strive whether we’re successful or not, understanding that life is a gift from God, that He doesn’t scheme against us, and that we should just show our loyalty and fondness to the Maker all the time (actually, we reap a lot of benefits in doing that as well), and that we belong to Him, so He will surely punish those who schemed against us in time, with us being fully satisfied in watching all of it. I hope you believe in that, too, but even if you don’t right now, I just want to tell you that there’s an amazing person fighting for you who can certainly protect you, keep you safe, and reward all of your hard work. Don’t be too sad, Taehyung-ah. If it’s me, I’ll just cry and feel the full blow of that sadness all at once, so that I won’t be submerged in that state for too long. These hackers-stalkers-neighbors are laughing. I hate them as always, but as you can see, I’m putting up a fight. Do it, too, against all your enemies. Call out those who scheme against you. Those schemers have distorted what is the “truth” by putting props as traps. Even so, such schemes backfired and trapped them instead, in the long run. So, just do what you can, and don’t lose your strength, values, beliefs, confidence, and talents. Like plants, grow them instead. It’s safer, more secure, and more reliable than setting a trap for others. And remember, listen to yourself and to the right people, so you won’t be losing your hard-earned possessions to those who covet them, and so you won’t be sad again. We’re fighting for you, Taehyung-ah. “Great men are not born great, they grow great.” - Lewis Howes. I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your fans and ARMYs, love you so much. May you never stop believing in that. May you always be assured of our love and support for you and know that when it comes to us, you don’t have to do anything unlike you. May you always find the best in you, or the best way to express your ingenuity in every situation, and be happy and proud. There will always be so many among us who can see how amazing you are each time. I hope you’ll cut the things, people, and situations that make you sad and obscured. Don’t be sorry for being yourself. Always remember you are always loved. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💖💖💖🤍🤍🤍💜💜💜
