to ateez: goodmorning! i hope you could rest well enough with good sleep. the weather there seems nice today; it should hopefully be perfect for when yunho throws the first pitch. cheering for another win! mingi, i heard about your wrist, i hope it's feeling better now; i sent warm healing energy your way. you're working hard today too; cheering for you! the new photos released are really cool and beautiful! i love the subtle detailing in the styling, and the energy feels like a bit of a mirror to earlier golden hour. the closer to comeback, and the more each piece of the whole picture is revealed, the more curious i feel of the next unveiling; of story and of songs. sending all of you and everyone strength for the remaining preparations! a bit of brightness today; more asters in the yard. so many appear suddenly, like stars blooming in the sky of the earth. even right outside my window; when i'm unable to leave the room as much, just seeing them brings cheer, so i wanted to share that with you too. lastly, though more than a bit shy to show it, i've had this notebook for about a year. the design really caught my eye when i was looking for one to practice in. isn't it lovely? languages are really complicated for me; i love linguistics, and i really want to learn your language well. in the past, when i was in school, because my learning style is a bit different, i struggled to learn another language then and was shamed for it in front of the class many times. i also have insecurities about making mistakes and not being respectful of someone's language, so on top of other factors making it difficult to study well right now, it's been a mental barrier for a long time. but i really want to learn, so i've been making progress little by little. i found a hangul chart and copied it for easy reference, and also a list of basic things to learn. so even if it's one word a day, incorporated into my thoughts to memorize, i'll do my best! cheering for all of you so much. with less than a week until comeback, and performances in between, there's so much that can weigh on the spirit as you work to get everything just right. as you read this, please take a moment to close your eyes, breathe deeply, let your thoughts and emotions settle. you're doing so well, you are always enough, you are loved and cared about so much. please take care well, may you stay safe and stay in best possible health. enjoy good food, remember vitamins, stay hydrated, and rest as well as you are able to. be kind to yourselves, with patience and understanding for your best moment to moment. whenever you're outside walking somewhere, every leaf of every tree, every plant and every flower, every clear sky, cloud, sun, moon, and stars, every little friend in nature is cheering for you too. sending you all of my light, all of my love, healing and protecting energy, and wishes for a kind day to bloom beautifully ahead for you. i promise to take care well too. fighting!!! supporting, encouraging, and believing in you always. i'm so proud of you, and i love you all so very much. 💚🎶🐦☀️🌕🌟✨️🍀☘️🌻🫶🏻🍵 -ari #ateez #에이티즈 #hongjoong #홍중 #seonghwa #성화 #yunho #윤호 #yeosang #여상 #san #산 #mingi #민기 #wooyoung #우영 #jongho #종호 #ariatiny #larknotes
