Happy Anniversary to our Candle Lights,
☆ NCT DREAM ☆
I’ve never fell for a group this much before. The way I love them guys felt different from the other groups I stan / ever stanned. I just feel like I’m being pulled by their attraction, wheter I like it or not. In short, I just cant help to love NCT DREAM. Period.
They’ve became my source of happiness in a short time. I’ve only learn about them to a certain depth ever since covid lockdown. And I didn’t regret it for even a bit. Not at all. They’ve taught me stuffs while I enjoy their music and contents. I’m highly inspired by them, by every single one of them.
- Renjun, I’ve been drowning on his attraction and have been simping on him since the day he dropped the Fools cover. That boy is something else. Other than his voice and humor, I enjoyed his quotes of wise words the most.
- Jeno, gosh I’m highly amazed by his build you know? Not in an awkward way, of course. It’s just I felt motivated everytime I look at him. He’s talented, handsome, cute, and boy his body’s proportion is out of this world.
- Haechan? I could rant all year about this boy. He’s the cutest, honey-dripped-skin, most hardworking guy I know. Everyone in the kpop industry’s hardworking indeed, but this guy’s a part of 2 units of his group and I don’t have to mention how hard he’s been working since last year right? He’s one of NCT’s main moodmaker, everything about him screams preciousness.
- Jaemin. OKAY, we all know that this boy is a giant fluffball of happiness but I haven’t really grasped that fact until recently. The way he looks at sijeunies??? And on the NCT Life Dream in Wonderland’s behind, where he feeds the rabbits??? Omg this guys is aksjsuxjshud idek anymore. I aspire to be like him, to love people who loves me so dearly like him. How soft his heart is and how I wish to protect him at any cost.
- This boy named Chenle is the definition of genius. I learnt from NCT Life (Dream), that boy sure is competitive! He loooooveeeesss challenges like it’s his toy or playground. I’m stunned by this boy’s ability to knock down obstacles and challenges before him.
- Jisung. Everyone’s (including me ofc) obsessed with this boy’s dance skills. And God, his skills aren’t dissappointing. I may not be a fan from the beginning but I see him grow through videos and pictures and I can’t help but feel proud of him.
- And one more member, Mark. I didn’t get to experience Mark as a Dream member era but I think I have to include him ok this post as they’ve been preparing us a surprise of ot7 Dream /cries/. I may not be familiar with Mark as a Dream member, but Dreamies without him is like a puzzle missing its one last piece. Mark is Dream’s missing puzzle piece and they’ll reunite in a blink, before we even know it.
NCT Dream’s becoming a part of my happiness now. I’m very grateful of their existence, of their music, talents, personalities and friendship that highly inspires me. Thank you for existing, little brothers ♡ please always be happy!

Bonus: 2 of the Dreamies eyes I drew. I haven’t been practicing my drawing skills for a long time now and I can see that my drawings are worsen, so I decided to do a quick doodle of the Dreamies eyes but they’re nowhere near similar and I just hate it lmao. I gave up on Haechan’s :/ maybe I’ll redo it some other time.
(Be honest, Renjun looks like Bambam and Jeno somehow looks like Yugyeom right? Which group did I drew oml)

Sylvia Plath, from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
— March 13, 1915 / Franz Kafka diaries
you can start learning anything you always wanted at any point in your life. & how nice it is to remember that
You are going to laugh until your stomach hurts again. You're going to be in awe of a sunset. Watch your favorite show while you eat your favorite food. Find money on the street. Discover a great band you haven't heard of before. You will find your way back.
mental illness made me so desperate for joy that i forgot it was this simple… feeling the ocean against your skin… a really good guitar riff… sun on your back… holding the door for a stranger… a cold shower on a hot day…….. the world is like a cradle and i am just a little baby. eyes wide open there is so much to see
not everything has to be productive. you are allowed to be a little silly and goofy. you are allowed to rest. take some time for yourself today. there is so much more to life than work, and you deserve to experience it. feel the sun on your face, stretch your body, call a friend, have a little fun. your work will not suffer for it & will be there when you’ve had some time.
oh btw just in case nobody ever told you. just because your life looks different than you thought it would doesn't mean that your life is bad or wrong or disappointing or less than. sometimes things aren't good or bad. sometimes they're just different
Good advice to take with you

Literally cannot stop thinking about Mark’s solo and all of the different symbolism and meanings in the video and lyrics. Like dealing with inner demons and not knowing who you are while also dealing with growing up being in the public eye and never having that moment to yourself.
It feels like he’s talking a lot about having to live and portray this perfect image that idols create and perhaps not knowing who he truly is because he’s been living with it for so long. We see him standing calmly outside a building while things are being destroyed and thrown out the window, only to find that he’s the one inside destroying everything and shattering mirrors. Like his imperfections and the perfect persona he’s created are at war which is furthered by the lyrics like “only few people know I’m a bit twisted” and “I envy propane, I need to blow up now.” We also see him dressed in a super reflective, noticeable outfit as if representing the shiny star persona that he has and he’s running from dark figures without faces. It’s as if he’s trying to escape the dark parts of himself or inner demons.
On the other hand seeing him running from them down the hallway with the flashing lights reminds me of running from paparazzi. Him talking about how he wants to be a stranger far from this society. He has big dreams that take up his mind but maybe to achieve those dreams he has to hurt and sacrifice.
It feels like a lot of the time people forget that idols are real people, that they are human and have both light and dark to them. That’s part of why this release is so special. It’s like Mark is sharing a part of that with us. That things aren’t always happy and giggly and perfect in his head. And that is so beautiful, and so very human.
it’s soooo hard to romanticize where you are now and like i get it, it always feels like the least beautiful time to be in, the worst point in history, your flop era etc, but it’s like Not though. every day i am amazed at the nostalgia i get for the past where i was objectively worse and more on fire than i am now like it doesn’t make sense until You Realize… nostalgia is often just you feeling regret that you didn’t fully experience what you had at that time. and it’s a call to enjoy where you are now because it truly is a unique part in ur life, no matter what is happening because life is a fleeting gift man. like IT IS!! experience every moment fully… it’s what your future self deserves when she looks back at you now
