Happy 6th year anniversary to one of the most important people in my life. 

I rarely ever make any posts like this, but this needed to get out there. I have seen many posts about how SHINee literally saved someone’s life and it made be incredibly happy  to know they play such a huge role in millions of people’s hearts. This is just my side of the story as to why SHINee will always be a constant in my life, and how their smiles brighten up my entire day that its plain ridiculous. 

I got into SHINee after my sister made me read a few 2min fanfics, i had no clue what fanfics were or what 2min or what a fandom was, but the stories got me so hooked, that i watched To The Beautiful you.After that i started watching their music videos and Hello Baby. Last year was also the start of my uni life. It was fine for a the first 2 or 3 weeks and since then everything went downhill, i sort of fell into a depression where i had no motivation to study or interact with others. Thats when i started watching more of SHINee videos and started listening to their music. It got me through my tough days and made me smile even when i was tired. Then it started to become an addiction to an unhealthy level, that i would not sleep and instead read stories or watch videos. It reached to a level where i failed 2 classes. I knew i had hit rock bottom when i realized that i had finished an entire year of uni without enjoying even a single day of it, when i had told myself that i would make the most of that year as my resolution. In the summer break i watched more of their videos, but then one day when i was watching a fanmade video of SHINee with their quotes i realised i was doing the exact opposite of what they would want their fans to do. I wasnt hard working, i neglected all the important people in my life, even my parents to an extent where i wouldnt even see them for more than 5 minutes a day and lock myself in my room.

I realised just how hard they must have worked to reach where they are, and still make it through each day with those dazzling smiles that make my heart flutter and make me smile silly. Thats when i promised myself i would get off my and find myself a job and get back on track with uni work. I have never been more proud to say, i have accomplished all that because of a certain maknaes quote - “If you really want one thing you have to give up another thing”. He gave up his teenage life, so he could make others smile with his killer dance moves and that soft voice. Everyone is SHINee gave up something to be where they are. I realised i had to give up a few things too, if i wanted to accomplish my dreams. Afterall there is no such thing as a miracle, its just another name for hard-work. I stopped using tumblr as much as i used to, read less of their stories, but i would still use their stories or videos as reward after a long day. If it wasnt for their music or their smiles or the love they have for their fans, i wouldnt be where i am . I would have still been sitting in my room, guilt eating at my heart, yet doing nothing about it. 

I just want to thank those 5 absolutely beautiful boys, inside and out, for making me a better person and making me work that much harder everyday, because if they can travel the world and sing and dance and still have time for their families and friends, then the least i can do to respect them is to work hard and make time for the loved ones around me. I wish them the very best of luck in everything they do and will do in the future from the bottom of my heart. Thank you SHINee for just being there without even being aware of it. I used to admire you and appreciate you as music artists, but in the course of these months, i have come to love you as stunning individuals with a heart of gold, always so loving and giving to your fans. I love you SHINee and i will continue to do so.
