to ateez and atiny: there are so many things happening, all around the world. many days, it feels like the storms on the internet are just as damaging to hearts and spirits as the ones causing visible chaos around us. it's so important that we take care of eachother, and also take care of ourselves. in the end, all who desire to learn and grow will continue to do so. growth, healing, sharing warmth with those we can, it's something that should never be taken for granted. life is so precious, so fragile, and yet unimaginably strong. we are that strength, we create that strength when we stop putting up walls and instead build bridges of understanding. when we base our words and actions in love instead of hate. when we extend a hand instead of pushing away. it's so hard viewing the news each day, knowing that it's only a small part of the countless stories that bloom out of every life. at the same time, often it's the painful stories that get told the most. when you're feeling overwhelmed, when your heart is heavy, remember that hope, that joy, that love and kindness are still there. the silver light beyond the stormclouds. look for that light. look for the flowers growing where there was decay. look for the kindness in the eyes of those who help. the healers. the creators. the phoenix that rises again and again and refuses to give up. hold onto all of that. hold onto what brings you joy, no matter how small or silly anyone else might see it as. hold onto your light, your smiles, your laughter, even when it's hardest. for me, my personal motto, how i try to live, is seeking the most kindness. the best that i am able to do. everyone's best is different, because each person's life and circumstances is different. rather than feeling bad because you can't do everything the same or as much as someone else, focus on what you can, day by day. if we all do that, for ourselves and one another, it would make every difference. maybe not immediately, maybe not all visibly, but the roots need tender care first before the growth. i believe that foundational strength created in love does have the power to change the world. take care of precious you today, wherever you are. be patient and kind and loving. step by step, one day at a time, into the sunrise. 🫶🏻💚 #ateez #에이티즈 #hongjoong #홍중 #seonghwa #성화 #yunho #윤호 #yeosang #여상 #san #산 #mingi #민기 #wooyoung #우영 #jongho #종호 #atiny #larknotes
