I’m honestly exhausted from job hunting at this point. I’ve applied to more than 100 positions, perhaps even more, just this month, yet I’ve received responses from only two or three companies—and unfortunately, none of those opportunities felt right for me.
          
          All I’ve been looking for is a position in content writing, social media management, or a similar field, something that genuinely aligns with my skills and the career path I want to build. I’ve received opportunities for sales and customer-service roles before, and while I appreciate that I was considered, I’ve realised that those positions simply aren’t what I want for myself. I chose to pursue a different path because I want to build a career around writing, creativity, content, and the skills I’ve spent years developing.
          
          But after applying again and again with very little response, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to stay hopeful. Almost everyone around me, my siblings, cousins, and people my age is working and moving forward with their lives, while I’m still at home, trying to figure out where I belong professionally.
          
          I never thought I would start feeling like I was falling behind everyone else. And lately, I’ve even started feeling like a burden, which is a horrible feeling to carry when you’re already trying your hardest to change your situation.
          
          I know that being unemployed doesn’t define my worth, and I know that finding the right opportunity can take time. But knowing that doesn’t make the waiting any easier. I’m simply tired of trying so hard and seeing so little come back from it. I want one genuine opportunity, one chance to prove that all the experience, effort, creativity, and skills I’ve built over the years are actually worth something.

@taekook_jams Honestly, don’t lose hope. Applying to 100 companies and getting only 3–4 replies is frustrating as hell, but it doesn’t mean you’re not capable or that your skills aren’t good enough. You already have years of actual experience in writing, content creation and social media, and you’ve literally built and managed your own platforms and made an income from them.
            
            I know losing your main income suddenly must’ve made everything feel much more urgent, especially when you’re used to contributing at home. But please don’t let that make you feel like a burden. You’re going through a setback, not becoming a burden.
            
            And honestly, maybe instead of just applying to more and more companies, something about the approach needs to change. The faxt that some companies came back to you because they felt you were actually better suited for the role says something. You clearly have something to offer. You just need the right opportunity to actually see it.
            
            I really hope you find something soon, but please don’t start doubting yourself just because the jab search is being shitty right now
            
            I think seeking help from ai resources would be nice? Since their understanding and knowledge is beyond ours.

            (Continuation) 
            My biggest concern right now is finding a position that is reasonably close to my home. Some jobs would require three to four hours of travel each way, making the commute exhausting and financially impractical.
            
            It has only been about a month since I lost my main income, but because I’ve always contributed at home, being unable to do so has made me feel like a burden. That’s why I’m urgently looking for a stable job.
            
            Thankfully, things are going well with my Instagram content, and I’m still creating and growing there. So not everything is going badly I just need a stable income again.
            
            I’m not claiming to be the most experienced candidate, but I know the skills I’ve developed through years of writing, content creation, social media management, and independently growing my own platforms. I simply hope to find a genuine opportunity in my field, within a reasonable distance from home, with a salary that fairly reflects the skills I bring.

@Becalmhooman7 I’ve already been working in content creation and social media for several years. I have two YouTube channels that I built and managed myself, and for more than three years they were a good source of income for me. Unfortunately, last month I lost monetisation due to a platform-related issue, which also affected my second channel because both channels are under the same ownership.
            
            Before that, I had received several opportunities in customer support, but I realised that it isn’t the career path I want to pursue. I want to work in content writing, social media management, or a similar creative field because I already have practical experience managing social media accounts, creating content, researching, writing, and growing my own platforms.
            
            I’ve applied to many relevant jobs this month, but most of the suitable opportunities have either been too far from my home, offered very low salaries, or involved target-based work. I’ve also had situations where companies selected someone else initially because they were willing to work for less, only to contact me later because they felt I was better suited for the role. Unfortunately, that opportunity also didn’t work out.
            
            I already have a CV and portfolio, but I’m careful about sharing my personal information and work samples with every job listing because of fraudulent postings and misuse of applicants’ work.

I have a new oneshot idea in my mind, and this one will involve both Taegi and Taekook. Of course, it will still be a Taekook oneshot, but according to the storyline, I have to include Taegi as part of the plot.
          
          I won’t be showing any romantic skinship between Taegi. There might be a kissing scene depending on how the story develops, and they will also have a child together, but I can’t reveal the entire storyline yet because that would spoil everything.
          
          All I can say is that the storyline is beautiful, although it’s also going to be filled with a lot of angst. 
          
          So… are you okay with me writing this one? I genuinely think you’ll love the story once you know the whole plot. Now you decide.

I’m ok with the storyline!

Lately, life has felt unbearably heavy.
          
          No matter how hard I try, it feels like I’m standing in the same place while everything around me keeps falling apart. No job, no financial stability, and no clear direction. I’ve been trying for months, giving my best, yet nothing seems to work in my favor. It’s exhausting to keep moving forward when every path feels like another dead end.
          
          Sometimes I wonder if hard work is really enough anymore. You give your time, your energy, your heart, and still the world barely notices. Finding a job has become so difficult that even the smallest opportunity feels out of reach. People expect you to do everything, yet the value of your work is rarely recognized.
          
          Then there was YouTube something I built with love, patience, and countless sleepless nights. Watching it all slowly fall apart has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to accept. It wasn’t just a channel; it was a dream, a part of me.
          
          There are moments when I feel okay. BTS somehow manages to make me smile, even on the darkest days. For a little while, they help me forget everything. But once that moment passes, reality comes rushing back, and I’m standing exactly where I started, carrying the same worries all over again.
          
          I’m not writing this to ask for sympathy. I just wanted to be honest. Sometimes the strongest people are simply the ones who keep going even when they’re tired, scared, and unsure of what tomorrow will bring.
          
          Maybe one day, I’ll look back at these words and realize this was only one difficult chapter of my life, not the whole story. Until then, all I can do is keep trying, even when it feels impossible. TT

My friend lives in New York, and yesterday she attended the BTS concert. The best part? She’s going again today But that’s not what made my heart so full.
          
          She video-called me during the concert.
          
          I still can’t believe it happened. For a few precious moments, I got to see BTS through her eyes. It wasn’t just watching a few clips later on social media—it felt real. I could hear the cheers, see the ocean of ARMY Bombs, and watch the members performing while my friend and I screamed together through the phone.
          
          It honestly felt like I was standing right there beside her.
          
          Even though thousands of miles separated us, she made sure I became a part of one of the most unforgettable nights of her life. That single video call meant more to me than she will probably ever realize.
          
          For those few minutes, I forgot the distance. I forgot that I wasn’t physically there. All I could feel was happiness. We laughed, screamed, sang along, and admired BTS together as if we were sitting next to each other in the stadium.
          
          Moments like these remind me that sometimes love and friendship can make distance disappear, even if it’s only for a little while.
          
          One day, I hope I’ll experience it for real too. I hope I’ll be in that crowd, holding my own ARMY Bomb, singing every lyric at the top of my lungs, crying happy tears as BTS stand right in front of me.
          
          Until that day comes, I’ll always treasure this beautiful memory.
          
          Thank you for letting me experience a tiny piece of your dream. It became one of mine too.

After years of writing, countless chapters, sleepless nights, and pouring my heart into every story…
          
          I can finally say that all my planned works are complete. Even Oneshot Book 2 has reached its end.
          
          For now, I think this is where I pause.
          
          Not because I don’t love writing anymore, but because my heart feels at peace. I don’t have any new stories waiting to be told right now, and I don’t want to force words that don’t come naturally.
          
          Maybe, if inspiration finds me again, I’ll add one, two, or even three more oneshots to Oneshot Book 2. But as of now, I’m not planning to start any new books.
          
          Thank you for staying with me through every chapter, every emotion, every laugh, and every tear. Thank you for believing in my stories and giving them a home in your hearts.
          
          This isn’t a goodbye—it’s simply a quiet pause until my heart has another story worth telling.
          
          With love, always.
