the real reason I haven't been updating my stories...
I don't have writer's block (although I've been feeling quite a bit lazy with my other stories, but when I finish this I'm going to get my together and start getting caught up for Camp Nano, again, even if I have to switch gears a bit).
I didn't quite realize this, I guess (or maybe I did, but couldn't admit it but) the reason I haven't been updating my fics, despite having plenty of down time at home after my trip and while being unemployed is...
I don't know if BTS is my bias group anymore.
I've been feeling this way for a long time now (my bias crisis blogs about Yoongi were hints to myself and others that perhaps this change was coming) and it's just...
I know it's silly, because if they aren't my bias group anymore, that may not seem like a big deal to some of you. But, for me... BTS came into my life during a very very difficult time, and they literally Saved Me, and it feels like I'm not only betraying myself but them by having these feelings. But, as much as I've been trying to fight them, for months now, I just can't stop them...
BTS used to bring me a sense of security and a constant in my life, but recently, their ever growing popularity... it scares me. It feels like they're slipping away, even if they aren't any different from the dorks they were a year ago, or two, three years before that. And, I am immensely proud of them for all that they've accomplished, are accomplishing and will accomplish in the future.
I love them, and always will. I support them and always will, but apart of me... with everything increase they have in popularity, the less secure I feel in not only the fandom, but myself and my own feelings. And, I'm aware that the reasoning behind may have nothing to do with BTS and my own psychological going on, but it's still happening and I'm terrified.
It hurts to love them as much as I used to. It hurts a ton and I don't know how to handle it. That's partially why I've been throwing myself into other groups, new and old, and just outright denying these feelings by acting as if I'm just as BTS centric as I used to be, apart from my closest friends (and the ocassional blog post).
I've invested years of my life into this group, and although I'll still support them by purchasing their albums, etc, because my love for them will never cease entirely, I just can't... my heart can't take loving them as much as I used to, because it's so ing hard to feel close to them anymore.
It's stupid and I'm sorry, but it's how I feel, and I have trust issues with a lot of things, and I guess I'm starting to get them with BTS. fml.
Sorry for this emotional blog post, I know I'm stupid for feeling like this, but I felt like I needed to let it out finally, and that I should share with those of you who read my fics why I haven't kept up with my updating schedule. Those stories are by no means going to be discontinued... but it's going to be slow going for a little while.
I need a break from BTS, from writing my BTS fics. Just temporarily, until I figure out/get over this/come to terms with it.
I'm so sorry. TT
