A thread✨

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

I wrote this poem about Jin after knowing of his existence & getting into BTS for only around two weeks. There was just something about him and the warmth in his face, in his eyes, in his words, and in his actions that made me want to write something about the love he radiates

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

To the Astronaut who gifted his music to the world and made a safe space for millions!
Kim Seokjin, thank you for existing and for being who you are. That, in itself, has been the biggest comfort I could have ever gained in his life. Thank you!

The months keep passing me by, yet I cannot bear the burden of the days.

How am I supposed to live this life?

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

In another universe, he and I are friends, sitting together on a swing at night, talking, and being. In that universe, that would be enough. In this universe, the dream of it, however, is enough.

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

Namjoon’s art saved me.
I really will never be able to repay him for that, but that’s okay; it’s a privilege to be in his debt anyway.

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

Saw a video where someone asked “when you pass, who do you think will sit by your grave the longest time?”.

The only answer I could think of was “my hopes and dreams”.

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

Some days, I make peace with it. Other days, it kills me with every breath.

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

Namjoon, though it is too much most of the times, I hope you know that you can change, transform & metamorphose as much as you can, as much as you have to, and as much as you want to, in this world. We’ll make the effort of getting to know you every single time u do that.

Telling myself that my workout YouTube sir is actually Mingyu to motivate myself to work harder

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

I live so I love (and cook and eat)

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

It is 2 AM. Perhaps the most suitable time to remind myself that I have never had a home, except the one you took away.

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

I wonder if the sinking feeling in your feet and the heaviness sitting right at the bottom of your chest ever goes away

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

A perfect example of my life: I have all the letters but all of them are always at the wrong place.

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

A letter from a 29-year old to a 29-year old

Dear Namjoon,
You have not taken away my pain with your art.
@BTS_twt

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

I cannot explain to you the relief of being the same age as Namjoon and finding comfort and solace in his art in a world that keeps rushing people our age to run after their pre-set and rigid goals simply because that is the norm.

[ree⁷ @jkyoongs]

namjoon is a fucking genius for portraying the standards that are pushed upon society, to have a wife and kids, to live in a polished house, the juxtaposition of his chill hang outs with his friends to the life he's "supposed" to have

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

The audacity to even question them is crazy to me, especially when they put that entire music industry on the map, have achievements others can only dream of mimicking now, and brought in some much PR and audience for their own country. Fucking crazy!

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

The witch trial BTS has to currently face truly proves that all they have ever had is their talent and their ARMY. Reminds me of the times I wrote this poem for rookie Bangtan.
You can do all kinds of smear campaigns & drama but the truth & their talent will always win, sorry!

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

“Oh my purple balloon
God forbid you’re ever put on stage for universe to admire
They’ll scrutinise lilac, burn the thread & attach u to a livewire
But carry on u must, the end will come soon
Because waiting for u at the finish line are other purple balloons.”

For BTS, from ARMY

Watch the lyrics state that the ‘wrong’ person was him/a version of him he dealt with to grow and be who he is today

[Mrinal⁷✨ @moreartandtea]

BTS is Kpop industry’s RM the way Namjoon is BTS’s RM – the leader, the guide, and the bearer of all responsibilities and proxy blames, but never the deserved praise.
