Letters to Jimin

#Letter 56

Hii there ......

How are you doing?

I hope you are well and healthy.... it's less lonely and time is moving fast there...( I don't think so...but still hoping the best), I hope you are feeling okay and not reading or knowing all the bull crap going on X... I had to block and report a lot of accounts in the past few days.

It's just so annoying...why people are so ignorant and stupid on a platform...the toxic shippers and solos and antis...

Someone said it's like2018 allover again.
Please come back soon... before it becomes more miserable.

If I have learnt or understood something over the army years, it's that you guys don't owe us anything... you guys work hard and we are here for the music and we love you guys for that and that's it.
Nothing else, your time or your private lives, that's the line. We should not cross the boundaries.
We have no rights to put our ideas into your mouth... when it's like that, I think it's not about the music or the love anymore.
Aah...I wasn't planning to rant again...
Let's move on to something good.

Muse is coming soon...and the highlight medley came out yesterday. It sounds sooooo good.
Be mine and Who sounds really amazing....
Aahhh... can't wait to listen to all the songs.
It's going to be perfect...I already know. The travel show is coming out soon too...the teaser was so much fun. I am so glad that you guys had a lot of fun...you looked so relaxed and happy.
Another healing series like in the soop and bonvoyage. I am looking forward to it.

It's really hot here..
Heat wave actually. Summer is frying me down.
Yesterday I got a wedding invitation. I was surprised in a nice way.
We used to study together and stayed in the same hostel for a year...now it feels like it happened a lifetime ago.
My only friend who was in the same class, the same bus and we used to sit together for our dinner.
We didn't even know that we were in the same class for a month..we were that busy and the awkward personalities didn't really help either.
Then we lost touch...she ended up in a course she wanted to do and I was doing my course...in different cities.
I lost her phone number and life happened.
After two or three years, she called my mom and asked about me. She had lost my number too but then she got it after going through her hostel stuff.
We connected again...we were friends but not so close..
Then I moved to another country...I changed my number...she had moved to another city for higher studies.
We lost touch again....then I found her on some social media platform again...I messaged her again. By that time, her elder sister had passed away due to a cerebral aneurysm and I had no idea.

Over the years...we are still in touch..not like every other day but once in a while. Sometimes she sends me the pictures of the night sky or her notorious puddle and she's getting married in August.
I won't be able to attend the wedding, of course but I was so happy to receive an invitation.

Some friendships are like that I guess.
It's not so close , not so far...we don't know each other's micro details anymore..but we are friends...I don't know how to put it. I have that kind of friends... isn't that amazing?
There's one more girl from my highschool years. We were in the same class, same hostel, same room and same choir for a year then she had moved to another school.

We were so close that I had cried my eyes out on the day she moved. She had left me a long letter in our room. I still remember how I had held it in my hand and couldn't read it for a solid ten minutes because I was crying.

We are still in touch...we text sometimes.. it is not the same anymore but still it's precious.
I ran into her by chance in a mall a few years ago when I was visiting. I was shopping with my family and she was on her way to watch a movie and running late.
We did some quick catch ups and promised to meet again which hasn't happened till date .
I miss them all sometimes.

The friendships that were so beautiful and warm but somewhat distant now. I don't know anymore.

So I won't be able to attend the wedding but I wish her all the happiness in the world and more.
I hope I get to see her some day.

I hope you also have friends and I really hope they are not distant.
I hope you are able to meet them and maintain the relationships.
I hope you are less lonely and more happy.

Until we meet again here
With love
Army 14 July 2024
