[01:41 AM] from yoongi
―somewhere along the lines, i know i will run out of words and all the regrets of the unspoken will leave me submerged in the waters. so in-between these lines and in all the spaces that separates my verses, there will always be a distance holding us together. this is a promise; a forever bathing in blues of the afternoon sun where we stand still. some day when my pen will give up on me, i want to build a house for you with my bones and you will know that there’s love in giving up too.

— Nights used to be so lonely when the moon and stars weren’t there to accompany me. Sometimes I wonder how I slept through the loneliest nights, it’s hard for me to sleep knowing that I miss you. Till we meet again, I’ll dream of you tonight.

my life was mediocre-good before. one day, I discovered bts. at first, it was like reading the first page of a book; the first line captures me. and as I read the through the pages, I discover their story; the beginning, the build-up, the middle, the downfalls, the rising. Except there's no ending yet. But it could be even the next few years, months, weeks, today or even this moment. But I believe that when they fall one day, they'll know how to land. with bts in my life, I can't say that it's gotten better, great or good. There are bad days & there were times when bts couldn't help/console me. But at some other times, they sat next to me as we drank tea and shared stories under the purple galaxy.
“Love Yourself.” This phrase is easy to say but at the same time hard. What in the world is the justice of love and how many shades of love are there? Love seems like a prism. It may be that the phrase (love yourself) can only be spoken by those who truly love themselves. But for those words seem like a heat shimmer that’s unattainably flickering.
So the keywords that I materialized (love) from my point of view are “courage” and “forgiveness.” It could be that we don’t have the courage to honestly face our ugly side or reality so if we muster up the courage to fully face ourselves, then in the end, that maybe one loving myself. I suddenly thought that everything comes from courage. A word that meant nothing to me became extremely special recently.
A fun thing is that courage can mean “vessel” (T/N: In Korean, 응기 can mean courage or vessel.) That’s why it takes on an even bigger special spot within me. In the end, whats important is the vessel that holds the heart. What kind of vessel am I…
During a recent interview, I was asked what kind of life I wanted to live in the long run. I told them I wanted to live a life in which I can forgive myself. I don’t know how much the interviewer understood me, but they nodded up and down so I felt grateful. So there is nothing easier yet stronger than forgiven. I want to live a life with not just forgiveness where I can pat myself but one where I can eventually forgive all of myself.
Loving myself may just be forgiving myself.
As endless waves of time passed by, I suddenly thought that though although there is no one who is identical to me, there are a lot more people who are similar to me than I think.
So you (T/N: the you he uses is formal but endearing kind of like “dear”), don’t cry. Thinking there is no one like (similar to) me, there is who can understand me. If you ( T/N: same as before) have a warm heart, then there is definitely a person out there somewhere with a heart of similar warmth and will appear (in your life). Someday that will happen. Since there is nothing greater (T/N:he means admirable) than living with a warm heart.
There is definitely, definitely certain things in this world that happen out of our control .
So We,
Let us forgive ourselves.
I noticed there are very little examples on here of the wonderful things BTS has written or said over the years as they’ve grown and tried to figure out their identities away from the fame.
This is just one of my favorite letters Namjoon has ever written. I hope you get something out of it.
(If anyone finds out who made this and translated it please let me know so I can credit them! )
ok but this emoticon in tae's postcard letter tho
Still thinking about how Hobi's message to Namjoon for Festa is the absolute sweetest thing any person had ever said
