happy birthday taehyungie.

i love taehyung's music so much. scenery, winter bear, snow flower, sweet night, blue & grey, not to mention his various covers. he brings something very special and beautiful to all of his work. he has a gorgeous voice, of course, but what really makes his music so special to me is the emotion he brings to everything he makes: regret and longing in sweet night, sadness and feelings of being lost in blue & grey, affection in snow flower, love in scenery, and of course, bittersweet care in his song for his grandmother's, winter bear.

i first connected with taehyung through his song winter bear. i also have lost my grandmother, and it
the emotion in the song resonated very strongly with me. it made me feel less alone. since then, i have found this same profound emotional connection with his other music, as well, and his songs hold a special place in my heart.

of course, i don't just love him for his music. i love him for his creativity and unique way of problem solving and viewing the world. i love him for his huge, caring heart. i love his love for children and dogs. i love his passion for his music. i love his silly sense of humor and how he always thinks of things nobody else does. i love how kind and sweet he is. i love the soft, sweet romantic side he shows through his music. i love his vulnerability and strength.

he's a huge inspiration to me. kim taehyung, i love you forever. you're a special and wonderful human. i hope you're having a birthday as special and wonderful as you are. 💜
