RM has uploaded a post on Weverse, a platform where fans can connect more directly and personally with their favorite artists. Under the profile of BTS, RM made sure to show ARMY what he was doing: reading a book that clearly, its words has stayed with him, and he wanted to share these reflections.
"What do the small flower trees in the backyard barely do? Youngsanhong and azaleas, which showed off their appearance with green leaves and red flowers from spring to autumn, have stopped outside the window as a still picture in the cold winter breeze for several months. In the morning, when a few titans go by, nothing changes except the shadows that slowly revolve around me until the sun goes down. It's not just the flower trees. All kinds of grass bugs and weeds are enduring this harsh time with the same appearance. But can we pity them? Is the time for the second one."
"When we think of things waiting for the time in silence like a rock against the ruthless nature, how anxious we are. How petty is our impatience that we can't stand still for a moment to fill the void of every moment with something. I hope that this will be a year when I learn to be ashamed of even the grievances of being alone and of being lonely or depressed, or that life is meaningful or not."
With beautiful words, the writer indeed is trying to tell the reader how we should consider the feelings of the plants, by comparing their time with ours. How we spend our day by day thinking too much about what would be our life, instead of just living it the way it is and try to make it better, we just keep complaining. RM resonated with these paragraphs, and surely, so did ARMY while reading it.
In two tweets made by @choi_bts, she explains who is the writer, what he does, and what he wants to tell:
Definitely, Kim Namjoon is not only a great leader or a brilliant person. Deep inside, he is just a human being with emotions that are too big to speak them out loud, and the words sometimes just don't make justice to those feelings, so all he can do, is read about nature, compare his self-being with trees, and relax, hoping that ARMY could also heal the same way he heals.
Such an inspiring leader and humane person, kudos to RM - his parents must be so proud.
