Day 103
Letters to NobodyDear nobody,
“Hey Sunny, what if I never remember?”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“Like, what if I never remember the past? I never remember what it is like to be Kim Taehyung.”
“Why do you want to remember?”
“Well, I want to know what kind of life he had and what makes him him. Then maybe I’ll be able to figure out who I am supposed to be as well. But at the same time, I’m sorta scared of finding out.”
“Why?”
“What if what I remember doesn’t turn out to be as great as the Kim Taehyung people make him seem? And he falls short of the expectations – I fall short of the expectations.”
“Taehyung-ah, there are so many things that happen in life that mold a person.
Yes, what happens in one’s past does affect how they are in the present but it doesn’t cement them to be one thing. If you can’t remember what’s in the past, it doesn’t matter because what’s important is life as it is now.
Like the relationship between you, Seokjin and I. Even if you do fall short of expectations, that won’t make us stop loving you. In fact, the two of us will love you even more because what we’re looking for isn’t a perfect being. Whatever mistakes we make will only help all of us grow together as friends.
Taehyung-ah, no matter what happens now or even the future, I – we – will always be there for you, supporting you, encouraging you to become a person you can be proud of. Most importantly, we will never leave your side.”
“Never?”
“I promise, never.”
“A true relationship is having someone who accepts your past, supports your present, loves you and encourages your future” – Unknown
