How is everyone feeling? I couldn't start another chapter without speaking about the elephant in the room. Was I shook by the announcement, Yes. Do I think this is needed? Absolutely! Mental Care is necessary because burnout is a real thing. I experienced burnout in my life and it's scary. I went from loving my career, not caring that I had to drive an hour to work and an hour back, to having panic attacks before walking through the door. It got to the point for me that I wasn't eating properly and my sleep habits were a mess. I'm glad they chose to go on a sabbatical rather than disband, which are 2 different things.

A sabbatical is defined as taking time to recharge your batteries while remaining on the payroll and fulfilling certain obligations. We know the definition of the other one, so I'm not going to bring it up.

For them to show such raw emotions in front of us is one of the bravest things they have done. It's hard to have an everyday life in this day in age if you're a celebrity, it feels like your life is always in the media. While I'm thankful they cleared up the nonsense that ANTIs and the media created, I think it gave them another layer of stress in the process. Listening to MOTS 7 again made me realize how much they were running on fumes. My Time by Kookie is playing in the background as I write this. He was literally asking for his time and is he even living right? Don't get me started on Yoongi and shadow. I always felt lyrics had an underlying meaning, and now that everything is out, it all makes sense.

I for one will continue to support them no matter what they decide to do and I will continue this story.

Stay Strong my OT7 family ARMY for LIFE!
