Youth is Not Over
"I am sure there will be an ocean of purple tears on that day! Happy tears!"
How BTS found me.
My life could be it’s own book or a Lifetime Channel movie. Things started out well, parents divorced when I was ten & we moved in with my grandparents. The years living with my grandparents were pretty great, but after my grandmother died, my mother moved us to Florida and my life became a sad drama. I ended up marrying the wrong guy for the wrong reasons and it ended in divorce. I’ve been single for the past 17 years. A little over 3 years ago, I had been following another kpop group but heard BTS was going to be on the AMAs so I watched it. And that,…
NEW LIFE WITH BTS
Hey!! I want to share how BTS changed my life So, to start, I’ve to tell you about a little history of my life. I really hope you can read this, because this memory is the most precious thing I have. I am 25 years old and since I was 3 months old I was diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. That’s is a health problem that totally destroys the self-esteem of all carriers ’cause we always have a scaling body and wounds, and in my case, it mainly affects my face. So throughout my life I had to deal with the fear of people seeing me in times of crisis ’cause…
Army with LUV
Beginning of 2019 was a rough year for me. I was going through job transitions and struggling mentally with who I was as a person and where I was going in my early 20s. I remember seeing a post somewhere of Boy With Luv and I decided to check it out. I have no idea what it was but I saw those bright smiles and happy colors and I instantly fell in love. Suddenly, all the darkness I had seen for the past few months in 2019 was just gone and I remembered just singing to that song day after day after day until I discovered more of BTS. Well,…
Finding Strength in Broken Wings
Hello, I already shared my story, but I completely forgot to tag myself. Sorry for this double posting of same thing. Thank you, Jodie My story is Finding Strength in Broken Wings!
BTS Saved Me: A Time of Learning to Love Myself
BTS is more than just a band, more than just music or entertainment. They are real people with emotions, who care and are so humble, honest and hardworking. They are able to connect with their fans in ways most celebrities disregard nowadays.
“Finding Strength in Broken Wings”
“Save Me, I’m Fine” is the anagram tattoo I have on my arm with one of the Love Yourself flowers connected, these words, so simple and complete, reminds me to be conscious of my thoughts, feelings and to always love myself, they give me hope, and strength to acknowledge sometimes I might need saving, however ultimately with BTS, I’m Fine.
What BTS means to me
back in 2017, my friend who is an army keeps sending me bts photos and telling me to listen to bts songs everyday, most of my friends also like BTS at that time too, so I decided to search bts online, watch their videos and listen to their songs. After that, I discovered that they are not only handsome😍 but they are also 7 talented boys, composing their own songs and writing their own lyrics 🥺. I watched fake love mv and started searching their older videos. Jungkook caught my attention, then I stepped into the world of BTS and started becoming an army.💜 I decided to become an army because bts means…
A Traumatic Time
Hi! My name is Empress (not my real name), I discovered BTS around 2015-2016. I was in an abusive marriage, the abuse started after I caught my husband cheating. I left him after 2 years of enduring it. I became depressed and thought that my marriage falling apart and my husband cheating was all my fault and this lasted for months. One day I just wanted to forget everything, so I got my phone and just scrolled thru social media. While scrolling I saw a picture of 7 smiling boys. I was intrigued because the way they smiled were different, the smiles I saw were genuine, I couldn’t explain it…
Best decision ever
Hi there! I’m 23 years old mum to be from Poland. I must admit that I was biased (in a bad way) when it comes to k-pop because of some girls from my high school. So, when I found out that Boy with Luv is by a k-pop band, I was really surprised. I’m a Halsey fan and that’s how I discovered boys, through their song that was on her Spotify playlist. So, when it turned out that it’s such a bop, I listened to the whole Persona album and I was so impressed! I had no idea that they rap too, and lyrics just blew me away. I’m ashamed…
You’re my worst kept secret
I am a busy working mum of 2. I had never being a fan of any artist before. My obsessions when I was a teenager were male and female athletes from quite obscure sports. And then my life got too busy to actually have a time-consuming hobby. Higher education, a PhD abroad, a first baby, a first job, then a house, a second baby… Music was always an afterthought, a few songs on a playlist on repeat, mostly “dad rock” songs, and that was it. Because I had no time to actually sit down and watch movies or TV shows anymore, YouTube became one of my few pockets of escapism.…
Growth: Discovering BTS, &; Myself
What everyone says is true. BTS finds you when you need them most - and then you grow together. Maybe it was the sound of the music, maybe it was the thought-provoking lyrics, maybe it was the sincerity in their eyes, or the tangible bond between the members - but something pulled me in. They have helped me discover so many things about myself, and taught me a new kind of love. I only hope the things I can do as an ARMY allow me to give back even a fraction of the life they have given me.
Happy place
How many of them are there?! How do they sing while dancing?! How do they keep smiling while singing and dancing?!
BTS Brings Magic Into My Life!
"BTS music comforted me; their videos make me laugh, their messages empower me, and they are all gorgeous, I can't deny. My ARMY friends play a big part in my recovery, too. They continuously encouraged me to live. I found a family in the fandom."
Thank you ARMY
What a wonderful feeling to see ARMY sharing their stories on day one. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to hearing from more of you. And if the first day is going this well, then I can only imagine what the future holds. Fighting! MJ Chard
Depression and a Debt of Gratitude
I’m positive I would be telling a completely different more devastating story had it not been for my daughter finding BTS when she did.
Blood, Sweat and What??
Hello ARMY and all reading this. My name is Wendie. A 40 yr old who comes from a little town in Ontario, Canada. BTS found me in 2016 when I was at one of my lowest points ever. I suffer from PTSD due to childhood trauma. I was adopted at the age of 8 into an amazingly loving and kind family but what had happened to me in my early years and what I had to deal with has left its marks permanently etched into my being. Because of my PTSD I have depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I struggle to sleep, with migraines and other health issues and daily…
