“Happiness is not something that you have to achieve, you can still feel happy during the process of achieving something” —–BTS RM

BTS is also famous for giving positive thoughts and inspirations in their lyrics and interviews. They often talk about teenage life issues. BTS tries to help people go through hardships and know more about themselves with music. They guide people when they are down and lost. They tell their fans that it is important to just become who you are, not who the society wants you to become.

For example, from the first two albums “2 Cool 4 Skool,” “O! RUL8. 2?,” they mentioned that parents but not teenagers themselves decided their own future. Parents were elders full of experiences. They may try to protect their kids from making the same mistakes again. However, everyone is individual and unique. Parents shouldn’t force children to do what they thought was better.

“Who are you living for?
My heart stopped when I was nine or ten.
Put your hand on your heart and ask what your dream was,
What it really was.” —-O! RUL8, 2?

They questioned the society. Why could parents help their kids make all the important decision? Why was it so important to be a successful person? Why was studying the own path that led to success? Was having a lot of cars, houses and money the definition of success?

“Adults tell me that hardships are only momentary To endure a little more, to do it later Everybody say NO! It can’t be any later Don’t be trapped in someone else’s dream” —-NO!

After that, they talked about they anxiety and uncertainty teenagers would have when facing the future. They said it would be no-doubt that we would encounter many difficulties when chasing our dreams, but we still shouldn’t give up. It would always be right to feel lost and hesitant. Just don’t stop dreaming.

Last but not least, BTS said it was important to learn to love ourselves. Sometimes, loving ourselves is harder than loving others. We must try hard to find our values and specialty. Understanding you are different from anyone that ever exists is an important issue to learn when facing obstacles.

“I may be a bit blunt, I may lack some things I may not have that shy glow around me But this is me My arms, my legs, my heart, my soul I’m the one I should love in this world Shining me, precious soul of mine I finally realized so I love me Not so perfect but so beautiful I’m the one I should love” —–Epiphany (Jin)
