Always Be With Them 🇮🇳

Hi! I'm Aditi and I am from India 🇮🇳 and THIS IS MY STORY.

I'm indian but I live in USA. I was 7 back in 2013 when I first got into BTS. It was a real blessing to be with them for that long of a time because at that age I was bullied in USA for being indian and different. I always loved meeting new people and making new friends but by the time I was seven and I was bullied, I stopped finding light. I stopped believing that there are actually good people alive. When BTS released "no more dream", even if I couldn't understand what they were saying, I felt that they might be expressing out a good message.

A few weeks later I felt like giving up on them cause I couldn't understand what was going on between them and that I had nothing to do with them. I stayed when I found out about their struggles and hardships. At some point, to me it looked like they were bullied/ disrespected by their own countrymen. That seemed really sad.

If I had left, they would be losing the smallest of the small support. I didn't want that to happen. I wanted to give all my love and support to them. It felt nice when they had their first win. I felt so proud of them. Forget about understanding languages...all I could think of was their cute smiles and giggly faces when they won. That day I knew, supporting them in helping all the lost souls out here and telling them to love theirselves was the best decision I had ever made.

Going through the years I understood that I fell deep into the fandom and that I love each one of them the same but differently. Each of the members are special. As a single child I have always been begging to get elder brothers. God heard my prayers and provided me with 7. The joy I have on my face when I see them win awards and break records and being the most successful people is just so overwhelming.

I honestly feel that they don't deserve any type of hate no matter the context. People should be proud of BTS as they are helping so many people and giving people a reason to live. They give us the main reason to love ourselves. Even if I don't love myself, I'll try my level best to make these 7 proud. I know they don't know who I am but I'm sure they'll be happy that their lyrics affect me to the point I love myself unconditionally.

I may have a lot of family issues and socializing issues but each day, I recall that I have ARMY and BTS who will get me through it all each day. I work hard everyday just in the hope that I'll see BTS with my own eyes one day. It may be not now not even soon but I will. And when I do, I want to do two things.

1. Bow down fully and thank them from the bottom of my heart for helping me out when I needed them.
2. Give them a big hug and tell them that they have reached so far.

I'd feel really happy when we all r together. For now, all I could tell them is "ARMY BELONGS TO BTS AND BTS BELONGS TO ARMY! WE LOVE U!"
