to ateez: thank you. two words, so simple, not enough to contain the emotions behind them, and said so many times, i fear they'll become worn out and lose their meaning. two songs, two more gifts to the world that wrap us in warmth and lead us forward. there are endless variations of letters and words and sounds in every language that exists, and still no quantity or combination would convey how much it truly means. how precious all of you, existing here and now, are. music is a language in itself, one that speaks all languages and exists beyond all languages. it's as old as the universe, as timeless as time. it touches the soul like nothing else. that kind of power can be used either for the very best or the very worst, to hurt or to heal. since the beginning, you've used that power as a light. to shine into the places often unseen, but that need to be seen. you've brought spring's warmth to souls locked in winter. from even before day 1, you've been reaching out. it's something that has remained a constant, even to today. that's why it's my sincere hope that all of that love finds its way back to you. you've given so much, so much more than you'll ever know, and i hope the universe echoes that positive light and energy towards you in the threads that make up today, tomorrow, and forever. thank you for being my light when i couldn't be that for myself. thank you for helping me to find my light again. and thank you, always, for inspiring me to be the best version of myself, in passing that light onwards into the ripples of life around me. in your own lives, i hope that you always have a shelter through the storm, a place to rest. to not be okay and to just be. no roles or responsibilities weighing on your shoulders. moments to just feel and exist until you're ready to stand and step forward once more. i hope that you always find love and find hope, even in the darkest places on the coldest nights. you are so beautiful and irreplaceable, and this world is a brighter and kinder place with your light. i hope we can always be that light for you in return. thank you, sincerely, and thank you once more in every moment for existing and for being you. as always, take care again today. eat well, remember vitamins, treat yourselves to something nice. rest well, have gentle healing dreams. stay warm, stay healthy, stay safe. and as always, in every day, remember how much you are loved. sending my light and my love, as warm and bright as i can, to you today and tomorrow and farther on the path ahead. thank you. 🎶🐦💚✨☀️🌕🌟🌻 - ari #ateez #에이티즈 #hongjoong #홍중 #seonghwa #성화 #yunho #윤호 #yeosang #여상 #san #산 #mingi #민기 #wooyoung #우영 #jongho #종호 #larknotes
