thread of my favorite parts of @BTS_twt's speech at the UNGA (kind of a note to self for later):

im just gonna put the ending first because it's the most important: LIFE GOES ON. LET'S LIVE ON

“yesterday i was singing and dancing with fans around the world. now, my world had shrunk into a room. and then my friends took my hand, we comforted each other and talked about what we could do together.” –park jimin

“life became simple, maybe for the first time. it was a precious time, unwanted but welcome.”
“the room itself was small, but my world and our world reached and wide. in this world, we had our instruments, our phones, and our fans.” –min yoongi

“this time it felt different. it felt lonelier and smaller. why? i thought for a long time. i thought, maybe because it became harder to imagine.”
“i thought if i give up here, then i'm not the star of my life.” –kim taehyung

“our lives are unpredictable. we don't know all the answers. i knew where i wanted to go, but not how i could get there. all i did to get here was trust ourselves, do my best, and love what i do.” –jung hoseok

“thinking about the future and trying hard are all important. but cherishing yourself, encouraging yourself and keeping yourself happy is the most important. in a world of uncertainty, we must cherish the importance of me, you, and us.” –kim seokjin

“we live in uncertainty, but really, nothing's changed. if there's something i can do, if our voices can give strength to people, then that's what we want and that's what we'll keep on doing.” –jeon jungkook

“now more than ever, we must try to remember who we are and face who we are. we must try to love ourselves and imagine the future. BTS WILL BE THERE WITH YOU.” –kim namjoon (1/2)

“let's dream about a future when our worlds can break out of our small rooms again. it might feel like it's always night and we'll always be alone, but the night is always darkest before the light of dawn.” –kim namjoon (2/2)

ending this thread with their final message again and i hope you get inspired by it too:

“life goes on. LET'S LIVE ON.” –bts/방탄소년단
