- [---My BTS Epiphany---](https://discoveringbts.com/my-bts-epiphany/) - The real definitive turning point of no return was a week before the Busan concert. I was watching videos of them on YouTube, when my younger sister called and said my father had unexpectedly passed away that morning. I had been estranged from him for several years. He was divorced from my mom and we had fought when she got sick. Besides the shock, I had a ton of regret for things I never said and did. Still struggling with my mental health, it was a lot to deal with. I turned heavily to BTS for comfort during this time, they became my calm in the storm, the seven people I could depend on to lift my spirits and ease my hurt for at least the time I listened to or watched them. I started really reading the lyrics of their songs and their message had been right there all along, but maybe I had been initially just too enamored to hear it. I needed to love myself, and forgive myself for the mistakes and regrets in my life. My dad’s visitation was a day after the Busan concert, and surprisingly I felt peace. I felt that my dad loved me regardless of the estrangement we had gone through, and instead of dwelling on the painful things, I needed to focus on the special ones we’d had in our relationship.

Bored and channel surfing one Saturday night, I happened to land on Saturday Night Live. Emma Stone was just introducing that week’s musical guest, BTS. (Huh? - Obviously I HAD been living under a rock because I’d never heard of them before. Ever.) But they were cute and the song was catchy. Wait…they were singing in another language? And there seemed to be a million of them on the world’s tiniest stage. How were they dancing so gracefully? The song finished, and the studio audience lavished them with love, which they gobbled up with smiles and laughter and so much good-natured personality I thought I was seeing The Beatles again. Now intrigued, I decided to stick around to see if they’d sing another song…

I didn't know the name of it but I knew it was a BTS song that I had heard before. I knew that it came after Pied Piper on my playlist. So I found it and played it continuosly. The song: Epiphany. I listened to Epiphany several times every day for two weeks. I began to feel a little better each day. Epiphany brought me back to life. BE became my healing balm. Every song helped me cope with my depression. While listening to that album, the tears flowed freely and helped me heal.

- [BTS are my saviours](https://discoveringbts.com/bts-are-my-saviours/) - Talking to ARMYs made me feel safe and i realised they were just like me- we were all a big family, each a shining star in the dark night sky- our own mikrokosmos. Together we spazzed over you. I met many yoongi stans, many other jimin stans, J-Hope stans, jin Stans, Jk stans and of course both my sisters who themselves had become ARMYs too- one who stans V and the other RM. Sometimes it hits me how far you are - like all the way in korea, yet I still feel you're love radiating all the way through to my own little home, in my own little city. I'm going to admit, there's emotional times where ill just cry as it hits me that were half the world apart, but just like I am doing now, I often look at the sky, thinking at least we're under the same sky, sun, moon and stars and maybe, just maybe right now you're looking up too and so are all other ARMYs. I see BTS and ARMYs now as my second family, who I'd never let go off, not even when I'm down my last breath. The past few years have been a long ride, a long adventure to finding myself in you. I'm so glad I've met so many ARMYS along the way, who all love you just like I do. I have now finished college and waiting for my ALEVEL grades..and hell yeck! I bet I've done good hopefully. Thanks yoongi for teaching me to be savage and to love that side of myself too. I now have big dreams and something that I'm always reminded of Is what you, RM taught us:' in order to live others, you should begin by loving yourself"..just like how one cannot pour from an empty glass and srsly President Kim my respects and hats off to you and you're clever intellect! You're srsly the man! Don't blame me when i proudly say that thanks to you, I have now developed what is termed as "the daddy issues". Moving on to my favourite BTS song, of course I love every single one, though fake love will be the one i hold close, since that was the one that reincarnated me into an ARMY. mikrokosmos would be next- its just pure love for ARMY and it just makes me soo happy to be part of the fandom, followed by seesaw and then sea ( I cried so bad to sea) , oh yeah then no more dream and coffee too. I love Jin's abyss, all of Jimins solos, RM moonchild will always be my fav, Sugas daechwita, jhopes hope world, v's ughhh its soooo hard to decide but basically I love every single song , that goes for all the members solos, but the ones mentioned are ones that are most memorable to me. Finally, Jk , still with you ..ah I can just imagine you confessing love to you're girl while singing this and sitting at a piano. Jk I've done so many cover and duets with you, it's srsly become a hobby now. Anyways I hope, whoever you're better halves turn out to be, love you passionately for all that you deserve. I hope you're happy couples together!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Yeah and I'm still waiting/ dreaming about the day when I'll get to meet you guys face to face ...it seems a long way off, but i guess there are no debts to wishful dreaming right? I'm also so broke that I've never got a single album, or even an ARMY bomb, I've never attended a fansign neither joined a live muster...the only thing I have is a purple heart, so I'm sending lots of love and hugs to all 7 of you and to all the ARMYs out there. I promise, I shall get an album very soon.... I feel there's soo much more to tell you guys but i guess that's most of it to my very still life. Oh yeah forgot to mention, my hobbies are: tuning in to BTS vlives and run episodes, Reading, watching kdramas...(recently watching vincenzo and youth of may), watching tik tok edits of BTS, watching YouTube skits of BTS, sketching, writing poems, lying around like a potato, listening to BTS songs (obviously), karaoke and listening to slowed down sad songs (yeh I'm a sado) I'm eating chocolate and drinking jasmine tea!..I know I shouldn't be eating late at night it's unhealthy..its ok though, today can just be an exception 🙃🤭 Srsly try that.its soooo relaxing! I'm listening to serendipity slowed down in the background.it just feels great this moment, there's a soft breeze outside and the curtains are fluttering about and I just feel so great typing away..I'm talking to all 7 of you, I've never felt this comfortable, excited and happy all at once. I'd like to also request if we could get an era where the rap and vocal line swap roles..I'd love to hear jimin rap !!!! Aaaah just like in tony Montana!! Aah that would be a dream come true. I'd love to hear more of jhope, RM and Suga singing. srsly all if you have such sweet melodious voices, you give us sooo much love and always perform at you're best, srsly we don't deserve so much love. Myself and on behalf of all other ARMYS I'd like to say a big heartfelt thank you from the bottom of our hearts for always loving ARMYS and taking us along with you on all you're adventures! It's been a long yet fun journey and no matter where the road will lead, even if it's a dead end, we know that BTS got our back and just know that ARMYS have your's. We all love all 7 of you so so soo much,plz take care, stay safe and happy until we meet again. Also, if you ever feel upset, exhausted and tired, we're here for you, plz show us when you're sad or angry and dont hide it just because you feel ARMYs shouldn't see that side of you. Did I mention that I love you so much? Now stop and smile, you've done great today- go treat yourself!
- [My Truth Untold](https://discoveringbts.com/my-truth-untold/) - But one day I was sat quietly in my room crying cos I was denied a place in college, then my sister was sat in the same room and she was watching some funny tiktoks and I saw V in the tiktok. He was doing something funny and it made me laugh, at my most vulnerable moment, while I was crying. At that moment my heart was filled with so much awe at V and he’s healing smile- I continued watching BTS tik tok edits with her and saw so many comments from people calling themselves ARMYs and I was surprised as to what exactly that meant. I saw just how everyone in the comments were so content and happy at being you’re fans and at that moment I knew I had found my safe place, now that I proudly call my second home and family.
