“They Didn’t Teach You In School To Leave Your Work And Go To The Window Five Minutes To Let The

“They didn’t teach you in school to leave your work and go to the window five minutes to let the sun warm your soft skin; they didn’t teach you to pause. They taught you to bottle up your emotions, they didn’t teach you to go to your friend and talk five minutes when you felt sad, so your cotton heart could light up again and go back to your work free of mental burdens. They didn’t teach you to go to an open window and listen to five minutes the musicality of birds or the hysterical screams of playing kids, or watch the trees wave at you so you could feel connected to a wider realm where your energy was welcome. And now you feel guilty when you can’t immediately achieve your work because you couldn’t see that the powerful wind often stops as well before it starts again, you don’t know how to recharge your batteries merely by feeling the sun biting your skin, you lost touch with the pacifying noises of the whole world keeping its activities while you spend your time worrying that you might fail. You are not broken; you are mistaken, and you must start again to allow yourself to give to your natural needs and rhythms an unshakable voice. You must care enough about it: it comes first and anything else follows. We are sentient beings.”

As someone that is really passionate about mental health it has been so infuriating today to see the way that some ARMY have reacted to the video.

These men have given their absolute everything in the past 9 years. I cannot even imagine how hard it must have been and what kind of pressure they have been under.

You can see how hard it was for them to do what was right for them and take some time off and apart. To admit that and pursue that. And the way they said it in the video in such a mature and calm and thoughtful way. They cried and reassured us and each other that BTS will be back and that they are thankful for everything. To then have "fans" screaming how unfair it is/omg are they disbanding/why would they do this/they are a group I don't want solo projects.

Like before they are BTS, these idols you fantasize about and praise and obssess over- first and foremost they are human beings. Humans who have sacrificed so much and finally are putting themselves first.

Also for God's saks: if you actually watched the video and listened you would know that they are NOT disbanding, they are taking a break, focusing on solo projects. (READ their words and listen to what they are saying instead of making assumptions).

Yes, I cried and was sad but I am also so immensly happy and proud!!! I hope they rest and I hope they have fun and I hope they do what THEY want without worrying about the world. And when and if they come back (although they promised and they keep their promises!!) we will welcome them with open arms.

So I beg some of you to get a life and then realize if you actually love them you would be happy for them.

Another reminder: learn from their example. Focus on yourself. Take care and rest when you need to. It is okay to do that. I love you. 💜💜💜

“That’s the thing about sensitive people. Things take time. Time to absorb other people’s feelings and time to restore their own sanity. Time to adjust to change and time to remain with their own values. Time to ask why things are the way they are and time to just simply let things be. A life of taking two steps forward and one step back is a powerful way to be.”

— Juansen Dizon, Sensitive People
