To BTS Member Military,

Dear BTS,

I met you 7 years ago when I came out of a bad place. My cheeks moved a little the first time I
heard your song. Your songs act as normalized therapy. A weight was lifted off me when I heard you
say that you have shown me "I have reasons, I have to love myself". A realization invaded that I had
to show kindness to myself. That was the first and most important lesson you gave me. Listening to
you helped me, made me realize that I needed to accept things as they are. You are non-judgmental
& so warm that you made me stop judging myself harshly & most importantly I slowly started to
smile, laugh & cry with all my heart. Your song "Spring Day" calms me down, the word 'Bogoshipda'
makes me feel comfortable being inspired by the language barrier. You make me seek happiness &
comfort in the little things & simple pleasures of life. Your steadfast belief in the fact that yesterday I
may have made a mistake but yesterday's me is still me. I am who I am today with all my faults.
Tomorrow I might be a little wiser, & that's me too. These faults & mistakes are what I am, forming
the brightest star in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I am, who I am,
& who I hope to be. Your speech shows that every broken thing can be put back together made me
fall in love with my broken self and all the broken things around me. Slowly but surely you made me
love myself a little more. Thank you for helping me bring everything I love back into my life, in tiny
little steps. I am so happy that they are all back & here to stay. Thank you for being the sunshine &
star I love. Thank you so much for everything. Spring, winter, and rainy season have passed.

"our flight will be forever". Lots of love and hugs Borahae.”
