How BTS Helped Me Find My Light Again

Posted on: May 20, 2025 | Tags: #Healing #MyJourney #BTSComfort

There was a time I felt like I was disappearing - not physically, but inside. The world had become gray. I had been surrounded by toxic people, burdened by expectations, and quietly carrying pain I didn't know how to name. My light, the spark that used to make me feel joyful and seen, had dimmed. I started believing that maybe it was gone for good.

And then... I heard a song. I didn't know the group, the members, the meaning. All I knew was that something inside me reacted like it had finally been seen. That song was “seven”. And that was the member Jeon Jeongguk.

It was like my heart whispered, “This is something different. This is safe" From that day, something in me started to heal. Not because BTS fixed me, but because they made me remember that there was something *worth healing for.*

“They never broke me — but they helped me heal what others tried to.”

Being ARMY for the past two years has given me community, color, laughter, tears, and above all: clarity. Their music, their messages, their vulnerability — it all reminded me that I wasn’t broken. I was just hidden, waiting to bloom again.

Now, I create with love. I design with color. I speak with the spark that came back to me. BTS didn’t just change my playlist — they helped me find a version of myself I thought I had lost. The real me. The soft, strong, emotional, magical me.

To anyone reading this who feels like they’ve dimmed... your light isn’t gone. It’s just waiting for the right song, the right lyric, the right moment to shine again.

Thank you BTS. For not even knowing you were saving lives... and doing it anyway.

🎧 My Comfort Songs

Sometimes the world is loud, heavy, and too fast. And when that happens, I press play on the songs that make everything slow down *or* speed me back up. The songs that fight for me when I feel like I can’t fight for myself. These are my comfort songs — the ones that lift me off the floor and remind me who I am:

• 🕯️ “00:00 (Zero O’Clock)” — For the nights I need to believe tomorrow is a fresh start.
• 💜 “Magic Shop” — Because they built a place inside their music where I can breathe again.
• 🔥 “Dope” — When I need a reminder that I’m unstoppable, even when others don’t see it.
• 💥 “Mic Drop” — For every time I was doubted, dismissed, or overlooked. This is my anthem.
• 🧠 “ON” — When I feel like giving up, this song says: “Bring the pain. I’ll rise anyway.”
• 💣 “Run BTS” — Because no one can run through chaos like BTS — and I’m running with them.
• 🪞 “Still With You” — When I miss someone who may not even be gone, just distant.

These aren’t just songs to me. They’re battle cries, warm hugs, and late-night therapy. They’ve lifted me out of shadows, danced with me in my room, and reminded me I’m never alone.

“Even if I fall, I get back up right away. That's how I've always been.” — from Run BTS

To anyone who’s tired, burnt out, or starting to dim: put on one of these songs. Let the beat fight for you. Let the voices you trust remind you of your worth. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to *press play.*

These songs didn’t just change my mood. They helped change my life.
