Epiphany

This song is for the people who seek self-love, self acceptence and help to get out of the deep hole they're in. It's for the people who changed and lost themselves in order to love someone else. It makes you realize that you forgot about your true self and now search for a way to get it back. Epiphany is like this one friend that walks with you at night through empty streets while rain is pouring down on you both and listens to you. But not the way anyone else does in your life. It listens to the person you were before you changed yourself for someone else. It listens to the feelings of a person that feels so hurt and doesn't know how to love themselves anymore. Instead of only comforting you, it makes you realize that there are hidden, broken pieces inside yourself that have to be revealed again. The little sparkle inside your heart is what makes you as a human shine and unique. Epiphany encourages you in the gentlest way to love yourself, it doesn't force you but it gives you the necessary motivation to try your best to find love for yourself. It isn't easy but striving to love yourself is the path to life and opens the door to love others. Epiphany shows you how beautiful your little imperfections are and how these flaws make you special. It accompanies you on your way to discover your true self and never leaves your side. Once you meet self appreciation and look at yourself the way others do, it takes your hand, walks with you through the streets under the clear moonlight and leads you home safely. At the end the rain that surrounded you is gone and so is the uncertainty of the night.

MAP OF HEART : self-love.

a walkthrough behind the lyrics of self loving.

my #WordsByBangtan monthly event entry.

the shape of heart: self love isn’t linear. we first go downwards into the pit of ourselves, going through thoughts and hatred, taking wrong paths to realize which one we are to deserve, an epiphany that shapes us to love and accept ourselves; until the arrival, the answer.

the first stage of our heart shape is the first bending downwards to observe the depths of ourselves, the reflection namjoon speaks about that can be caught by looking down on the Han River, whenever he gets absorbed in his own being. we meet who is the us to reach the loving of.

the second stage is the first trial of choosing a path that turns out to be wrong, the fake loving. in their words, we can recognize the act of looking back at that reflection, unable to recognize the own being as fake self love, is an erasure of self, neglecting to be perfect.

the stage is at the bottom of the pit of self discovering, turning point when the right path of self loving is taken. as jin sings, the mask of the “fake love” fell, we are the one we should love, with imperfections, perfections unnoticed to adapt to a surreal perfection.

the rising point is the true shape of love that shapes us into loving beings. as namjoon outlines, love that is true and love that comprehends the human, accepts the nature, approaching and embraces its sharpness to mild, gently rough them until turning into beings of love.

the last stage, we have reached our answer. loving ourselves means also to love when we weren't able to rightfully, when we got the wrong loving, when we have visited the wrong paths, not to conform to fake beauty but to find in our own being the reasons, the true self love.

the voyage is completed, the shape of heart has been rounded and has taken place. it might be repeating itself, it might be a constant cycle of rewriting the same path loving shaped.

"My shining self, my precious soul I finally realize it So I love me Not so perfect but so beautiful I'm the one I should love"

Epiphany

[sherwynphilip]

In one of my recent posts about Jimin's photo tweet right after Day-2 of the 2021 BTS MUSTER Sowoozoo concert, the lovely @i-like-plain-rice had this to say:

There's a lot to unpack in what was said. I'll try my best because I feel that the comment deserves its own space. So, here goes...

First, while it may seem to the onlooker that BTS' lives are "so fun and nice," and I hope to God that they truly are, I think we must not fail to acknowledge the countless, unimaginable struggles they had to go through to get to where they are.

In their recent FESTA special (210612), "BTS ARMY CORNER STORE," Yoongi said (as he often had in the past) that for BTS nothing was ever given easily. They had to work really hard, perhaps harder than everyone else in the industry, to achieve their dreams. Remember that BTS and BigHit were built in a hostile environment from the very beginning, but they rose above all the criticisms, attacks and misrepresentations by staying humble and authentic, and by staying faithful to their art and their message. The BTS ARMY, no doubt, has a huge role in BTS' success. However, we mustn't fail to recognize that this success is organic. It was never handed to them on a silver plattter, unlike many of the big names in the industry. In a global music industry wrought with racism, or in the case of the KPop world, wrought with entitlement that works against the underdog, BTS' success is more an anomaly than a standard.

Second, it's ok to feel envious, I guess. I don't think there's anything wrong with "envy" in and of itself. Envy is not the problem, but what we do with it could be. Clearly, it's wrong when envy leads one to destructiveness. But when envy inspires you to be better and to do better, then it's not that bad at all.

That being said, I hope you're right when you say that BTS "are so happy," because that's what all ARMYs wish for. And if sometimes they're not, that's ok, too. Because they have each other. As you said, "They are so loving towards each other." I have no doubt that they are. They wouldn't have succeeded in the way that they have if each of them didn't truly care for the team and for each other. And besides, they have ARMY always behind them. In their ending ment just hours ago for Day-2 of their MUSTER Sowoozoo concert, Namjoon said that "BTS and ARMY charge each other's batteries...." And, my God, isn't that so true! Which now leads me to my third point...

The boys know about our own personal struggles. They empathize with every single ARMY who are dealing with life's challenges. Their music and their message speak enough about this. So, when you say your life is miserable, please allow me to say this in response: It's ok not to be ok.

In his D-Day FESTA Calendar video gift for ARMY, Jimin said:

🐥 "Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the moment we first met and how I used to feel at the time... I think they were definitely valuable and beautiful moments enough to describe them with these beautiful words... You must be going through rough times these days. If you feel like crying, don't hold it in. It can be nice to be honest with your feelings. Thank you for holding on. Please cheer up. I love you."

And remember "FLY TO MY ROOM"? In what is perhaps the best verse in the entire song, Jimin sings, "Sometimes we gotta know, broken is beautiful." I wept the first time I heard that line; I still do everytime. And it's the same kind of reaction I have when I listen to their music and watch their videos, or when I listen to their speeches, or read their messages for ARMY. I feel that they truly care, that they do wish for a better world, where others feel safe and happy.

I'm sure you've heard it said often, how people discover BTS at the right exact time, mostly when they're so down in life and they needed something, anything, to hold on to. Not to put BTS on a pedestal, but they truly are that kind of inspiration. And it was for a reason that they started from the very bottom, that they went through so much struggle of their own in their journey towards their dreams, and that they have continually been paying forward whatever success they now have. Had their journey been any different, they would not have gained the attention and adoration of the now millions of ARMYs who continue to root for them and help make their dreams come true.

ARMYs are drawn to BTS because of what the boys represent and what they stand for. And what BTS represent and stand for is every underdog who, inspite of feeling down and out of luck, or feeling miserable in life because their dreams seem so unreachable, can rise above all of that and find happiness. BTS and ARMY thrive even in the most hostile environment. BTS' message is clear, and none made the clearer than in "EPIPHANY": Happiness can be had... if we learn to love ourselves, and love ourselves so truthfully and fiercely that others can't help but feel and spread the love as well.

Last, I wish, like you, that BTS stay happy forever because they deserve it. But I'd like to think, too, that their happiness is also contingent to ARMY's happiness. So, if you, I, and all the other ARMYs out there "get even a glimpse of their bright lives" because we are inspired by their art and their message... And if we soever choose to love ourselves and believe that we deserve happiness, then I'm certain that BTS will be even happier than they already are.

Borahae, my fellow ARMY. 💜
