seriously thinking about it right now though, ghosts really get a bad reputation. it's understandable why there's fear about them, as a lot of fear stems from the unknown; in addition so many stories focus on bad situations or are told just for the sake of being scary. but in my experience, most of them are lonely? maybe lonely isn't quite the word. think of it like this: there are souls manifested in physical form (like us), there are souls in their pure form wandering or travelling to where they are called next in the universe, and then there are what we call "ghosts". not in-between, but rather anchored here for one reason or another. maybe they're not ready to move forward yet. maybe they're lingering by those they love and watching over them until they can join and move forward together. some are just curious free spirits who, while mischievous at times, have no bad intentions. just like some manifested souls can be bad, of course it can happen with ghosts too. but they're not all bad. but it's hard to communicate in that kind of form. and because people are either already scared of them because of the unknown or always hearing bad stories, i guess a lot of their energy just feels.. kind of sad. did i mention it here before? i don't remember; but i'm certain there's a ghost living in this house. outside of throwing the smallest tantrum of knocking over a bottle once (my brother was gone for a few days to stay with a friend, and i think the ghost missed him), the energy has always been very calm. i guess i just think that if there were more stories and shared experiences that were positive, maybe people wouldn't be as afraid or have as much negative views of them. i never blame anyone for those emotions, they're fully valid. i just think it would be nice if ghosts could be seen as friends first more often. this is a lot of ari brain rambling, but it was kind of nice to think about it and put it into words. i have a lot of thoughts about a lot of things and don't really talk about or share them much. so i hope someone can enjoy it at least a little bit. take care. 💚👻🌻✨️ -ari #ateez #에이티즈 #hongjoong #홍중 #seonghwa #성화 #yunho #윤호 #yeosang #여상 #san #산 #mingi #민기 #wooyoung #우영 #jongho #종호 #atiny #larknotes
