Greetings - Mind Over Matters

Originally Published on July 28, 2024

Hi, Taehyung-ah 🤗🤗🤗 How are you? I hope that things are going well for you. Since it’s Sunday today, I wonder if you’re resting. Thank you so much for coming to IG yesterday and giving us a sweet update of you remembering ARMY, and letting us know that you value us, and that you consider the fandom as among the things that South Korea is proud of. It’s also sweet how you cheered for an ARMY who’s your big fan. Your fans pointed out that you’ve been cheering for that army since 2021. That’s really awesome. I’m relieved that you’re unaffected by some members of the fandom who has been targeting you, not only with your McDonald’s post that was taken out of context, but also with several other things in the past. I want to believe that your love for the ARMY and our love for you is still bigger and that it sustains your appreciation and confidence in us. Actually, you’ve got more fans and ARMYs who love you, and if I base it on album, merch, and magazine sales, your fans consist of a bigger portion of the ARMY, so I don’t really get all the noise on twitter saying otherwise. Even if you don’t get the proper marketing and promotion, you’re already so massive and so impactful. It’s good that you’re building your fandom, impact, and influence by yourself so that they grow with you wherever you go or whatever project that you do. You also don’t tolerate toxic fans and you’ve called them out before, and that’s why you only get the amazing ones who aren’t dragging you down. And that’s why you’re appreciative and confident, right? Thank you so much for treating us more than just fans, Taehyung-ah. Thank you for making us feel important, too. Please always be happy and courageous. You’re back home, right? Did you watch other shows, too? I’m really waiting for another update with Tannie. I badly want to see the two of you together again. My IG has been filled with videos of dogs, so I start to wish to adopt one. I don’t think it’s possible, though. I might do it once I move to a more pet-friendly place, where neighbors are far and where my dog can run around safely. I don’t think I can buy a house in that kind of neighborhood soon. Will you also create an instagram account for Tannie soon, Taehyung-ah? Tannie is the most beautiful among all pomeranians, and other dogs, and I’m sure a lot of people will be very enthusiastic to watch him on dog shows and runways, too. Your American fans and ARMYs have flocked to your Type 1 exhibition in Vancouver. I love seeing their posts. It’s a sweet success. I wonder if you’ll open it to more cities and countries. I would really love to go to the exhibition no matter what if it’s open in my city. I live near the biggest malls here, too. I hope you can see more of the posts that celebrate you and your milestones, Taehyung-ah. I imagine how hard it is in your SDT training in this scorching summer. It might also be raining heavily on some days, too. I feel like crying thinking about it. I hope you are well-prepared every time so that you can minimize the bad effects of the changing season and the training on you. Don’t forget to take good care of yourself. Eat and sleep properly. Take care of your skin, too. Do good mental exercise, an empowering self-talk, so that you can withstand anyone or anything that dares to stand against you. Remember always that we’re here for you, Taehyung-ah, and that we’re doing everything we can to support you and love you. I know there are times when it’s not enough, but we’ll surely be able to reach you. We’re in this together, okay? By the way, here’s my quote today (I almost forgot 😅): “We become what we think about most of the time, and that’s the strangest secret.” - Earl Nightingale. 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. 💖💖💖🤍🤍🤍💜💜💜
