Letters to Jimin

Letter #4

Hey there.....

I was watching the ' dear army : letter live clip again. It got released yesterday, as a gift during the festa 2023.
Such a beautiful song and live singing...I have no words to tell except how grateful I feel every single time I hear you singing.
So....thank you. For singing, for loving and making this world a little bit more brighter and bearable simply by existing.

It was my best friend's birthday yesterday. We literally live continents apart. We haven't met each other for the past 5 years and 11 months and it's quite hard.
The time difference and long distance is really affecting us but still we are trying our best to keep our friendship alive.
There are times when it makes me so frustrated and makes me feel alone . Whenever there's something we want to tell each other, we have to wait for the other person to wake up.
Sometimes we skip the hard things and pretend everything is perfect in our lives.

We know we are pretending but still we play along with it.
It's all too much at times but we still love each other.
We know that deep down, we get each other and are ready to help and listen to each other .
Mimi, I don't know much about your friend circle except for bangtan. You 7 are more like family now and the luckiest to have each other.
I know things are hard for you guys too...with all the new changes and military enlistment.
I hope that you will be able to finish it without getting hurt both physically and mentally.

You know you guys have each other even when you are far from each other?? We are waiting for you all to come back to us too.
I hope you remember that, even though we are far apart and haven't met each other at all ..we love you.
The love and comfort we get from you is exceptional and I hope that you know that too.
When I was talking with my best friend she told me something that was quite surprising.

She told me that I am like her father sometimes. I was shocked...her father is an ex air force officer and a really good person and her biggest cheerleader.
She further added that I am her supporting Piller and comfort too.
I have never considered myself as a strong person, there have been lots and lots of weak moments and struggles so far...but she considered me someone like her father.

It was a moment of realisation? Self discovery? I don't know how to put it....but you know Mimi, I was so happy after hearing that.
I can be someone else's strength too...just like you are for me.
Since I started following bangtan, I think I have changed a lot....in a positive way.

So ....thank you. For being my comfort person and my support.
I am not good with my words to express how much I love you guys ...so I will cherish it for a long long time.

Thank you, I miss you.
With love
Army
