“I think what I don’t want to miss is ordinary emotions rather than an ordinary daily life. The way my life looks may continue to change, but I hope I don’t become numb to the ordinary emotions that everyone feels and even to the feeling of being happy about small things. I think not losing that sense is ultimately a way for me to continue connecting with people.” — Kim Taehyung, Harper’s BAZAAR 12/26 When asked what he never wants to miss despite his busy schedule, this was his response. 🥰 There is something particularly beautiful about this distinction. Tae isn't talking about holding on to an ordinary routine or wishing for life to remain unchanged. He's talking about preserving his ability to feel, to notice and to find happiness in the little things even as life continues to take him in new and unexpected directions. Small but definite happiness. 🥹 I think there's a quiet wisdom in recognising that the richness of life isn't necessarily measured by how extraordinary our experiences are but by how fully we allow ourselves to experience them. It's easy to become accustomed to things. To move from one experience to the next, always looking ahead, waiting for something bigger or more exciting. In doing so we can sometimes overlook the small, seemingly insignificant moments that make life worthwhile. A little discovery. An unexpected kindness. A familiar song. A moment of laughter. The simple pleasure of finding joy in something for no particular reason. What I find most meaningful is that Tae connects this ability to feel with his ability to connect with others. Because ordinary emotions are universal. Our lives may look vastly different, but the feelings that move us, bring us joy, make us curious or allow us to feel close to someone are things we can all recognise. Perhaps that's something worth remembering. As life changes and we grow, we don't have to lose our capacity for wonder. To me, that's a lovely way of looking at personal growth. Evolving without becoming disconnected, experiencing more without feeling less and moving forward without losing our sense of wonder. 💜✌🏽 Thank you for this reminder Tae! 🫶🏽 BORAHAE TAEHYUNG TAEHYUNG X BAZAAR KOREA #TaehyungxCartier #VxCartier
