Forever we are young

Amidst the scattering rain of flower petals

I run, wandering through this maze

Forever, we are young

I may fall down and get hurt

But I still run endlessly towards my dreams

The Prophet (SAW) said:

“Take benefit of five before five:
Your youth before your old age,
Your health before your sickness,
Your wealth before your poverty,
Your free-time before your preoccupation and
Your life before your death.”
[Mustadrak Al-Haakim]

Being young is not long lasting. 

The question is how you define young?

Bill Gates founded Microsoft at the age of 20 while Steve Jobs co-founded apple when he was 21

Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh conquered Constantinople at the age of 21 as well

Yet, Prophet Muhammad became the muslim leader in Madinah when he was 53 years old. 

So my point is, age is just a number. 

But being young is what we work on ourselves for a better future. 

What is our dream?

What is our purpose of life?

What we want to achieve at certain age?

Life is indeed a short journey, so what we had done to our youth?

I became an ARMY when I was 25

I love their concept, of promoting youth energy. 

From being a rebellious youngster, hatred towards adulthood that seems meaningless, to fall in love with someone might not worth for, to work hard for your dreams while keeping the youth vibe. 

Me being a kpop fan for almost 8 years, now become an adult I feel how meaningless this fangirling thing. 

But since I found BTS, I became 18 years old me all over again. 

Because I thought this is the thing that will make me work hard towards my dream. 

To stay young, to feel young. 

But I was wrong. 

I am scared actually. 

Being an adult, I scare of it. 

Making choices in life. 

Being fully responsible with your decision. 

Work hard to get money to keep on living. 

Pay debts for my degree, house rent, car loan etc etc.

So I choose to feel and stay young by watching their videos, following their tweets, enjoying their performances. 

Yet, I spent too much time on them that I forgot to work on my own dream, my own life. 

And I feel that my youth is fading...

I don't blame them. 

I feel the happiness, more to guilty pleasure I would say. 

They work so hard on their parts. 

Just remember to work hard on our parts too. 

As an army, I wish to say this to all other armys;

Who spent too much time bickering other fandom and condemning other co-stars in variety show that mistreat the boys,

Who spent too much money on merchandise until they broke,

Who spent too much energy crying and screaming over them, and even pushing them that almost get them hurt (wait, ru really an army?)

Please get a life of yourselves that worth fighting for. 

Bangtan boys are humans, like we are. 

Let them live their lifes, that we could give all the supports, at the same time give time for your own life and work on it. 

May God bless...

Having someone to go to, having someone to love, having both is a blessing that was sent from above. Right, Tae? :)
