it's hard to put into words, the feeling of seeing you live a dream in each show you attend. i wonder what emotions have settled over you now, draped over you like the sky pouring its colours into the horizon to nestle in quiet contemplation at night. your own horizon expanding, as your world breathes in awe of all that is new and all that you learn. it always fascinates the way you talk about fashion and self expression, not unlike painting on the canvas of oneself; a life-long soundtrack of you that you're constantly composing. arranging and rearranging, adding colours and textures in the formation of notes. even in "simple" everyday looks, there's purpose and meaning; proof that self expression is a quiet voice speaking more nuance than words. it's an art form in itself, to distill one's colours into the fabrics that we wear. in this way, could it be said that we create a gallery for ourselves in our appearance every day? and if each day we become a new song, or a new continuation of that song, then each week a new album. i wonder, as you've described the music process for you similar to fashion, if you approach fashion as one would music? a seamless intertwining of both worlds that are really layers in artistry; not separate, but different facets of a greater whole. your appearance today felt like the fusion of those aspects, a refined attire that lent its canvas to your colours; a music sheet to carry your personal notation. and isn't that the relationship we carry with fashion? to both speak our stories and to allow our inner voices to become amplified? when you're ready, in right timing, i'd love to hear the thoughts you carry from your experiences today (or for you now, yesterday). what parts stood out to you? what details did you see that gave fashion further meaning? how would you interpret the concept now that you've seen the artist's original intention? whether you're still awake now or finding rest through sleep's dreaming, may your time there be filled with the song that makes your soul's wings take to the sky. may the memories and inspiration you've received grant new reasons to fall in love with life. joy an immortal ember in the heart that is kindled brightly as each memory glows. these photos are so beautiful, precious soul; showing your radiance as warm as sunlight. thank you so much for sharing them! so proud of you, hongjoong. may sleep bring only sweetest dreams if you dream. cheering for you for the journey ahead; i look forward to all you've been preparing that is now reaching readiness to be shown and be seen. safest travels in every step, best health, and every kindness; today and all days that await. i love you so much always; goodnight! 🫶🏻☀️❤️✨️🏵 #ateez #에이티즈 #hongjoong #홍중 #larknotes
