"Txt is that group that heals your inner child while encouraging you to engage in new experiences"
I think that's such a perfect description about how I feel about them.
Indeed, there was a time when I repressed my emotions a lot but, in doing so, I also forgot my inner child and almost set aside the dreams and magic that I had cherished so much. TXT made me realize that.
To be honest, I truly wanted to be part of their world, their universe, after watching 'One Dream' ! In this reality show, I perceived so much of their genuineness as artists but also as persons. Watching them at their debut and starting to achieve their dreams with so much love and so much fun together .. it really was refreshing to me.
I resonate with their music so much ! When I listen to their songs, I find them talking about my life. Want to know why ? Because their whole discography is basically about growing up, learning how to embrace yourself and finding your true colors.
Despite being sad that I haven't discovered them earlier, I truly think I found them at the right time. If I have found them earlier, it would have been a bit hard for me to connect so deeply with their music as much, given my young age when they debuted, and I probably would have also distanced myself from them quickly. I found them at the right time, because today I can have a better perspective on my past, knowing how to continue moving forward and how to take care of my inner child, because I need it.
At the same time, they give me so much confidence as a soon-to-be adult because the transition from adolescence to adulthood is so hard, and usually you don't have anyone to really help you. As Taehyun said, I think I'm at that age, or soon to be, where I am faced with reality and limits as to what I can do and achieve. The harsh part for me is that I feel like I wasted so much time but .. I think it's okay. It is okay. I still have so much time too, I can still dream ! I am scared of growing up.. but I have to keep moving forward !
As a whole, TXT remind us that it's okay to just.. be young and make mistakes. That we will have to grow up and live a lot of experiences and that's okay ! We will be okay.
TXT's music is a growth journey where they are growing alongside their music, with such a unique storytelling. Their music is basically the soundtrack of my youth, and I think that's the same for most moa as well.
I could talk about it for hours, they inspire me so much !!
