i've been taking some time for personal health, which is why i've been more quiet, but wanted to dedicate a moment for everyone who also needs extra strength and encouragement right now. there are many reasons that cause stress, and it's important to know when to either reach out or to step back. your wellbeing and your health are so important; please remember that it's never selfish to give yourself the care you need, and no one should ever try to make you feel shame for that. additionally, this month, as important as it is, can be even more difficult for so many of us. especially in the current social climate, there are too many who use this time of celebrating resilience and strength as an excuse to justify targeting their hate onto already vulnerable individuals. you are not at fault for being treated as any less than you are, who you are is not a source of shame, and it's not wrong if you need extra support right now. whatever the situations in your life may be, whether you have a network of people actively there for you or you're physically isolated, you are never, ever alone. there are so many who care about you, whether they know you or not. whatever it is that you need to give yourself, mind, body, and soul, to be in the best health you can, please honour that. remember that all relationships need to be in balance, regardless of dynamics, and caring for and nurturing yourself is just as vital and important as the love and support you give to everyone else. i wish you all every kindness, and all the strength, love, and light possible. however quiet, know you all always matter, you are always enough, and never let go of your beautiful light. take care. 🫶🏻💚🍀☘️🫂 #ateez #에이티즈 #hongjoong #홍중 #seonghwa #성화 #yunho #윤호 #yeosang #여상 #san #산 #mingi #민기 #wooyoung #우영 #jongho #종호 #atiny #larknotes
