I just want to come by here and take a moment to share how much I love BTS, and how much my love for them grows everyday. They are the much genuine artists I ever had an interest in, and they are always so dedicated for us, always giving their best for us. When I think about the path they walked on, when I think about the words they tell us in their songs or wherever, it cheers me up in my own life. It makes me want to be a better me, they make me want to be the “change I want to see in the world”. Thanks to them, I survived through very dark times of my life. When I was feeling alone, they gave me hope for a better tomorrow and that no matter how clueless, lost or empty I may feel, things always get better. Thanks to them, I also appreciate my friendships more, that what I failed to gain in the lottery of life, god put other keys to my happiness along the way. I accept myself more too. Once I was too fat, I had an ugly crooked teeth, I didn’t have straight hair, I wasn’t beautiful enough, I wasn’t intelligent enough, I was never good enough. They made me see that we’re always enough, we’re always worth it, we all have a purpose, that life has a meaning. They truly are people I admire and look up to, and I’m glad that they’ve been put down here to be such a good example for so many people, and such an inspiration as well. It’s been 6 years already, and I don’t know for how many more, but I will forever hold their message in my heart.
Thank you Namjoon.
Thank you Seokjin.
Thank you Yoongi.
Thank you Hoseok.
Thank you Jimin.
Thank you Taehyung.
Thank you Jungkook.
Thank you BTS. Thank you. Thank you forever.
I just want to put here a couple of their lyrics that I love a lot for various reason (relatable, the way they sang it, the meaning, etc.) and for a keeper ♥
Young Forever
“Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.”
No More Dream
“Even if I don’t dream, no one says anything, everyone is thinking the same way as me. I completely forgot about my childhood, when I had a lot of dreams.”
“Go on your path, even if you live for a day. Do something, put away your weakness.”
N.O
“Adults tell me that hardships are only momentary ; to endure a little more, to do it later... Everybody say NO! It can’t be any later! Don’t be trapped in someone else’s dream.”
School of Tears
“Not perpetrators, not victims, this is a place where we’re turned into bystanders.”
Attack on Bangtan
“From our debut till now, we climb up. Climbing to the top is a matter of time, the first block of the dominos has been pushed down.”
Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life
“The results are as low as the floor, but I just shout outloud to the world that everything’s gonna be alright. But the world gives me fear then just stop. Thoughts fill my head and instead of the ball, I throw my future because of the other’s standard of success. My worries spread like cancer again, god damn it“
“When the night comes again, reality gets destroyed, when I snap out of it, I’m just a scared idiot again. I keep getting scared at the looming sense of reality. Others are running ahead but why am I still here?”
“Breathe or dream, row the oars along with your heartbeat. If you are trapped in the other’s thin judgements, then the sun will set on your life like a court.”
Baepsae
“Ah, stop going on about ‘effort’ and more ‘effort’. Ah it makes my hands and feet cringe. Ah, try harder, ah, try harder. Ah, you really don’t have a chance. As expected of the ones before us!”
Dope
“eoseo wa bangtaneun cheoeumiji?“ (lmao this had to remain this way)
Fire
“Live however you want, it’s yours anyway, stop trying, it’s okay to lose.”
“Just live because we’re young, who are you to compare me with others? I’m only human.”
“(Fire) All you with a lot of fear, come here. (Fire) All you who are suffering, come here. (Fire) Lift up your fists, all night long. (Fire) With marching footsteps. (Fire) Run and go crazy.”
Save Me
“Thank you for letting me be me, for helping me fly, for giving me wings, for straightening me out, for waking me from being suffocated, for waking me from a dream which was all I was living in. When I think of you the sun comes out.”
Whalien 52
“In the middle of the vast ocean, one whale speaks softly and lonelily. The fact that no matter how much they shout, it won’t reach makes them so gravely lonely that they quietly shut their mouths. Now, well, I don’t care. When only the thing called loneliness remained by my side
I’ve become completely alone. Some say, “bastard, you’ve become a celebrity”. Oh fuck that, yeah, well, so what, nobody remains by my side, I’m ok like this. These words that are easily said towards me quickly becomes a wall, even loneliness turns into something you can see.“
“This sea is too deep. Still, I’m lucky because even if I cry, no one would know. I’m a whalien.”
Reflection
“I know every life’s a movie. We got different stars and stories, we got different nights and mornings. Our scenarios ain’t just boring.“
“I am all of my joy and anxiety.”
“In the darkness, people look happier than the day. Everyone else knows where they’re supposed to be, but only I walk without purpose. But still, blending in with them is more comfortable. Dduksum, which has swallowed up the night, hands me an entirely different world. I want to be free, I want to be free from freedom. Because right now I’m happy but I’m unhappy.“
Awake
“Maybe I, I can never fly. I can’t fly like the flower petals over there, or as though I have wings maybe I, I can’t touch the sky. Still, I want to stretch my hand out, I want to run, just a bit more.”
Lost
“I’m still standing here with my eyes closed. Lost between the deserts and oceans, I’m still wandering. Where should I go yeah.”
“I didn’t know there were this many paths I can’t go and paths I can’t take. I never felt this way before. Am I becoming an adult? “
“Even if I’m slow I will walk with my own feet, because I know this path is mine to take.”
Am I Wrong?
“Though I walk this crazy world’s path, I still want to live longer, I want to find it, my faith.”
21st Century Girls
“Don’t ever be scared. Whatever people say, you’re okay. (Alright) You are strong.”
Wings
“Now I know, I’m breaking up with regretting with age. I made a decision: I will have unconditional trust. It’s time to be brave, I’m not afraid because I believe, because I’m different from before. I won’t cry on my path, I won’t hang my head low. That is the sky and I’ll be flying there, fly.”
Not Today
“If you can’t fly, run, today we will survive. If you can’t run, walk, today we will survive. If you can’t walk, crawl. Even if you have to crawl, gear up.”
Paradise
“It’s alright to stop, you don’t need to run without knowing why. It’s alright to not have any dreams, if you have moments where you can feel happiness. It’s alright to stop. Don’t run without knowing where you’re going anymore. It’s alright to not have any dreams, all of the air you breathe out is already paradise.”
“It’s alright if your dreams are different. Buying a laptop next month or just eating and sleeping. Having a lot of money by not doing anything. What’s so great about dreams?Just be who you want, we deserve a life. Whether it’s big or small, you’re just doing you.”
“I don’t have a dream. Sometimes, dreaming is scary. Just living like this, just surviving is a small dream to me. Dreaming, holding onto that dream. Breathing, sometimes these things are hard. That guy did that, that girl did that. The world tells me as it bashes me.”
Magic Shop
“Days when you hate that you’re you, days when you wanna disappear. Let’s make a door in your heart. If you open that door and go inside, this place will be waiting for you. It’s ok to believe, it’ll comfort you, this Magic Shop.”
So What
“Nothing goes the way I plan, there’s no where to hide. The dice has already been thrown a long time ago. If you hesitate, you might get swept away, oh bae. All your worries are just part of the swamp of your imagination that you created. Instead of worrying, go, go, don’t be timid, cheer up! Shout out, so what what!“
I’m Fine
“I’m feeling just fine, fine, fine, I’ll shout it out by myself, casting a spell on this repeating nightmare.I’m feeling just fine, fine, fine. I’ll keep telling myself even if I fall down again: I’m fine, I’m fine. “
Epiphany
“I wanna love in this world, me, who shines, my precious soul. Now I finally realize, so I love me. Though I may lack, I’m so beautiful, I’m the one I should love.”
Love Myself
“Maybe there’s no answer, maybe this isn’t the answer either. It’s just that loving myself doesn’t require anyone else’s permission. I’m looking for myself again but I don’t wanna die anymore. Me, who used to be sad, me, who used to be hurt. It’ll make me more beautiful.”
Persona
“‘Who am I’ the question I had my whole life, the question which I probably won’t find an answer to my whole life.”
Tomorrow
“Same day, same moon. 24/7 every moment repeats, my life is in between. Jobless twenty-somethings are afraid of tomorrow. It’s funny, you think anything is possible when you’re a kid, when you feel how hard it is to get through a day. Keep feeling like the “control” beat, keep downloading it. Every single day is a repetition of ctrl+c, ctrl+v.”
Born Singer
“The mirage that always seemed so far away is now before my eyes.”
idk if any of you suffer from chronic pain or stress but i just followed that yoga video and i feel a lot better and relaxed now so, if you have 20 minutes to spare, it’s always nice (❁´◡`❁)
I don’t know if anyone is still here from that moment, but a couple of months ago I shared a bubble tea recipe and now, i tried to make my own tapioca pearls and also rolling them out took a minute, they actually turnt out pretty good so, if anyone is interested in trying ^^
I just wanted to share my result! I followed this recipe because it looked very simple, and you basically need just 3 ingredients : brown sugar, tapioca starch and water! These are the brands I used: tapioca | brown sugar
I didn’t follow the recipe exactly though : I used only 2 cups of starch and also, I cooked the pearls for 20 minutes and let them rest for 23 minutes! I like when the pearls are very mushy so that’s why I did that. Also I’ve had an obession with houjicha for the last couple of months I can’t stop with it rip
My advice is to make the pearls a bit smaller because they tend to swell up (is that the right word) when they’re cooked so... i got a bit f by it because later on they wouldn’t go through my straw lmao also i didn’t cook everything, you can keep them a couple of days in the frigdge but longer in the freezer i guess :)
Another advice would to not forget to cover the dough with food wrap as you make the little pearls to prevent it from drying
