To SHINee's Leader, Onew

The memories you've given me with your group are truly a gift because they allow me to carry precious people with me forever, even into the darkness.

Dear Onew,

I couldn't sleep last night. Who knows what came over me? Maybe our beloved angel among the stars understands. Maybe to some degree, I find comfort in that. At the moment, however, all consolation pales in comparison to the comfort I found in your album "Voice" last night.

While my thoughts ran in senseless circles, your voice— which I have come to trust above most others— flooded through my headphones. Somehow— and I don't know how you did it— you expressed my confused emotions when I couldn't even breathe through the foggy chaos.

And today, when the sun rose and the storm clouds blew away, I awoke with the sincere desire to thank you and apologize for taking so long to return to SHINee after the unspeakable happened. Bur the thing is, even though we're bonded as artist and audience, I don't actually know you, so I can't call you or text you or send you a sealed letter to lift your spirits while you serve in South Korea's military.

Nonetheless, a friend and I believe that when someone feels this much, It can be felt in any corner of the universe, regardless of the distance. That's the dimension of love I've learned from K-pop— and from SHINee especially.

If ever you could hear my voice the way I can hear yours, if I could convince you of my sincerity, I would be sure to thank you for your music. More than that, though, I would thank you for your gentle leadership. I would thank you for loving so deeply and expressing that love so delicately. I would thank you for guiding me with your tears and silly smiles alike.

I would promise to love you forever; I would promise to remember the good days with you— the ones Jonghyun shared; and I would promise to stand by you in the future.

P. S., I would tell you that the memories you've given me with your group are truly a gift because they allow me to carry precious people with me forever, even into the darkness.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
