Ok, so this is a baby ARMY’s rant after experiencing some post concert emotions and trying to figure out exactly which nerves were hit that make me feel like this. (1)
I felt such pure joy and giddiness watching songs being performed we’d never seen before. It was uplifting to watch BTS pour their all into it, and us now maybe understanding a bit more how they’d wanted these songs to come across. (2)
Some songs were so special to watch, for a lot of personal reasons. I cried when Yoongi sang Shadow. It’s such a raw and vulnerable song, and I’ve kept going back to it a lot in different moments of pain and sorrow and doubt. (3)
The same goes for Persona, which for me means it’s OK to not know exactly who you are, to battle with feelings of unworthiness, of being painfully aware of your flaws but accepting them anyway. (4)
I listen to 00:00 when I want to feel reassured that yes, things will get better. Tomorrow is a new start. A friend and I often text each other saying ‘I’m doing a 00:00 today, what about you?’ and we understand each other in finding comfort in that idea. (5)
UGH is for when I can’t deal with people’s stupidity and hate. When today& #39;s world frustrates me and I need an outlet. Seeing it performed like this filled me with energy, and also made me incredibly proud that BTS have such an awesome rap line. (6)
I could gush about more songs and performances, but I’d be unable to stop. They all mean so much. The arrangements for some gave me goosebumps, especially No More Dream (can we please have that version on Spotify, PLEASE). Jimin& #39;s Black Swan performance was mesmerizing. (7)
I guess what I’m trying to say is that BTS’ music for me is about being human, and those deeply human feelings of doubt, pain, anger, love, joy, and fear. And if I can connect to their songs; maybe I can connect to other people as well and empathize, understand, acknowledge. (8)
There’s a poetic quality to a lot of their lyrics, which makes me go over them again and again - but the way they’re delivered, in a concert like this, adds to how they reach into my heart and mind and find places I didn’t know were there. (9)
After the concert I felt happy and elated, but also raw, open, vulnerable even, in the way my heart was so full of love. I did not want today to just continue like an ordinary day. I wanted to stay in these songs and this music and that feeling a little longer. (10)
Watching this, especially together with ARMY friends who I cherish so much, and then sharing the feeling with even more ARMY friends online, has made me realize that somehow this music and these people have become an integral part of my life. (11)
And I want it to stay like that, because it’s made my heart more open to a lot of love and even though that’s scary, it’s also wonderful.
So thank you, @BTS_twt , for all of this. I hope you had a great time too. And yes, we& #39;ll find a way, I& #39;m sure
