"Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution" ~ Khalil Gibran What makes Ateez so special to me, is how above and beyond they go.. how much they share and give of themselves. They don't have to. But you can feel their appreciation.. their caring.. their heart no matter what they are doing. I don't know that this will ever be read by any of them, I just had to give a heartfelt "Thank you" to all of Ateez and their team behind the scenes. We all face our own battles in this often harsh world.. and sometimes darkness threatens to swallow us down. But I can always count on an Ateez song to lift my spirits, or a video filled with their laughter and camaraderie to remind me that while things may be tough.. they will get better. To remember and be thankful for the things we do have, verses what we dont. As an older fan and still very new to kpop fandom in general.. I've been blown away by just how genuine and humble Ateez is. I look forward to seeing you all grow, bloom and flourish for many, many years to come. And if anyone actually read all of this, I'm truly, deeply thankful for your time. Be it the artist, the staff or other fans.. lets continue to lift Ateez and each other up, spreading kindness and love in all we do. Have a Happy 2024 to all. ♡ "No human relation gives one possession in another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone." ~Kahlil Gibran #8Makes1Team
