Finally, a #MusicMonday for a Oneus song!!!!!!! I’m very excited, in case you couldn’t tell by the 7-8 exclamation marks. Welcome to the 3rd and final part of the Living as Me series! After this, all that’s left is the outro, and then it’s all over. Sad face. After realizing that I don’t need to worry about everyone else’s opinion, this song has a whole new meaning for me, and I wanted to share it with you all, so let’s get to it! Also, I don’t know where this translation comes from, but I always just look for the ones that make the most sense.
Hey, you’ve got something special
Babe, just be real, not fake
Take care and love yourself
We are all the same
We are all special and unique. I am my own person, and that person also just so happens to be pretty awesome. I like who I am. I’m genuine, honest, and have a fabulous sense of style. Sometimes it gets me in trouble, though. I recently got punched when I told my friend that the shirt she was trying on looked a lot like this shirt my grandma wears. It wasn’t awful, but my grandma does have a shirt that looked a lot like it!! She told me she wanted my honest opinion; she should have known better than to ask my honest opinion about clothes. I’ve also been losing weight again (slowly but surely), and I think I look pretty amazing. We are all amazing. Each of us has our own charming point. We all have that me-ness about us that makes us who we are. No one else can be you. I can’t imagine someone else trying to be me; they would be awful at it. Just like no one else can be you as good as you can.
Feel the moment
Forget about the things
That are far away, alright
Look at the night sky
Countless stars and moonlight
Shining on us
Today I’m not going to think about yesterday or worry about tomorrow. I’ve got all day tomorrow to worry about tomorrow. Right now, I’m enjoying the song Camellia by Jukjae and Hyuk. It’s calming and relaxing, and I’m enjoying every second of their beautiful voices while I write this. What I miss most about my college is how well you could see the stars. Whenever I was stressed, I looked at the stars to find the only 3 constellations I knew: Cassiopeia, Orion’s belt, and the big or little dipper. For some reason, I could never find them both. They were always there. Even now that I’m back home and can’t see them as well, I know they are up there shining as brightly as ever. I like to think about stars; it probably has something to do with my obsession with shiny things or things that light up. Now I know why I love light sticks so much, and Oneus’s has glitter on the outside of theirs that looks like stars.
Right now, don’t worry Everything else will pass, let it go We are young now We got right now Yeah, let’s get loud
I’m not going to be young and pretty forever (I can hear my friends laughing as they read this comment, stop it, you know I’m as shallow as a kiddie pool!). I have to make sure I enjoy every single minute. I’m a bit behind, so I’ve got a lot to make up for. I wasted so much time thinking I could finally be happy as soon as I got my life together. Honestly though, having your life together is overrated. Also, I don’t want to wait that long. I’m just going to enjoy today, like this morning when I got to listen to what I like to call Ravn Radio (It was a v-live) while I got ready for work. He played many good songs, including What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction and I am the Best by 2NE1. It totally made my day!
At this moment (now) It won’t come again (now) Oh can you feel it right now Oh can you feel it right now Oh I can feel it right now
Every second, is a second I’m not going to get back, and I’m not going to have later. I want to enjoy life while I can still enjoy it, and I don’t need anyone else’s permission to be happy. I don’t know why I thought I did; sometimes, I’m a moron. It happens to the best of us. My grandpa has muscular dystrophy, too, and while the kind he has is worse than mine, he’s been in a wheelchair for most of my memory. I used to be so terrified that I would end up like that too and won’t be able to ride horses or do other fun stuff I like to do anymore. However, if I stay active and keep up with the exercises my physical therapist gave me, that day will be a long way away.
Right now, I can ride horses and run around the yard playing with my dog, and I’m going to enjoy every second of it. I’m going to enjoy everything I can do rather than be bitter about everything I can’t do. I promise from this moment forward to never say that muscular dystrophy is ruining my life ever again………… out loud. I’ll keep it to myself because I’m not going to pretend that’s not the reason I quit show jumping. My doctors are all like, “it’s dangerous you could get hurt,” so maybe they were right. However, I was only on crutches for like a month, and I didn’t even actually break anything; I just bruised a muscle (yeah, that’s actually a thing). So, all my friends moved up a level, and I didn’t want to be in a class with strangers, so I went back to barrel racing and contesting. That was a totally unnecessary story. Sorry, I killed the vibe, didn’t I?
Already a lot of customs, many similar things It’s an overwhelming game Oh when I was come here that (See note 1 in next paragraph) Ah peace The future is boom boom, mori (See note 2 in next paragraph)
Note 1: My only guess is possibly he used English words with Korean sentence structure, in which case it could be ‘that’s how it was when I came here (I could be wrong, though. I didn’t write the song; I’m just trying to help my readers out)
Note 2: Mori is a reference to the phrase memento mori, which in Latin roughly translates to “remember death is inevitable.” (I know, right?!)
I always used to joke, saying if the world ended tomorrow, I would be bummed if I didn’t eat cake today, but somehow the message got lost over time. If the world had ended a month ago, I would’ve been pissed that I didn’t actually enjoy my life. I don’t want to worry about that anymore. If the world ends tomorrow, that’s fine because I already bought 2 more Oneus albums for my collection. All my friends do it with their favorite groups. You got to have 1 of every version of every album if you want to be a true collector (or so I was told). I’m never going to worry about regretting that I didn’t buy it because I did. And that Snuper poster I was supposed to get a year or 2 ago, but they gave me a Wanna One poster…. Now I’ve finally got a Snuper poster, and I’m so happy. It’s just a poster, but it makes me happy! Not a lot of things make me happy.
Look at me, I’m starting a little late
But I won’t give up, never give up
Don’t worry, keep running, early
What a person says is what they are going to be
I am a little late, but better late than never, right!? 4 years ago, I was in the hospital bummed out that I wasn’t dead, and now I’m genuinely happy that I’m alive!!! I never thought that would be a thing! When I’m sad, I’ll watch a K-pop compilation of Oneus being funny, or one of JBJ95’s silly dance practices, or play with my dog (She has a squeaky toy obsession), and I just can’t not smile! It reminds me of that quote by Dumbledore in Harry Potter, “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
Follow the feeling
There are many opportunities to come
Aren’t you looking forward to your life
If you had asked me a year ago if I was looking forward to my life, I would have laughed in your face……… Excessively…………. Even now, it feels weird to think I am actually looking forward to life. Part of my brain is still like, “What the heck is wrong with you,” and the other part is like, “who cares, just roll with it.” So, I’m rolling with it, and it’s kind of nice, actually. If you haven’t tried looking forward to life yet, I highly recommend it. It could go down the titanic, but you know, while it’s going down like the titanic, I will be enjoying horseback riding lessons, K-pop, and cuddles with my dog. As well as the Tomoon 2nd gen membership welcome kit (It’s not as exclusive as it sounds, haha) that I ordered 2 months ago and will get here before the end of the year, as well as the season’s greetings around the holidays!!!!!! I got Hyuk’s this past year from Vixx. It was really hard to be having a bad day when I opened that box. I don’t think I have ever been so excited about a Christmas present before. This year I’m going to get Oneus’.
Look high at the sky
The future is dazzling so bright
It’s waiting for you, baby
There is so much to look forward to! I didn’t fully understand how much I enjoyed life until I escaped the giant cloud of stress and expectations I was stuck in. Everything is just a lot nicer now. It’s not better. Nothing has changed; I’m just enjoying life more now. Instead of focusing on what I should be doing better, I’m focusing on each day, and it’s very nice (One of my fav songs by seventeen).
[Insert Pre-Chorus and Chorus]
Pain, Loneliness, and sadness
Just for a moment
You were the only one who saved me
when I felt like I was tied up with a chain
I still have some days that are a bit of a bummer, but I don’t let them ruin my life anymore. I wanna be happy. I’m tired of being bummed out all the time, and there really is a lot to enjoy in life when you know where to look for it. Today it was the Oneus album my friend got me for my birthday. Now I’m looking forward to expanding my collections for Oneus and JBJ95. I don’t know why it makes me happy, but it does, and the why isn’t nearly as important as the what.
We can fly high, yeah
The night sky has already changed so much
So just enjoy it now
That’s the best advice I can give about life. Just enjoy it!! It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks; if you are safe and happy, nothing else matters. The most important question I’ve learned to ask myself is “what do I want?” not what should I want, not what does everyone else want me to want, but what do I, myself, want. We are the ones who have to live our lives, and so our opinion is the only one that truly matters. Even if I’m getting a late start, I’m looking forward to enjoying my life as it is right now.
At this moment, now
Oh can you feel it right now
Oh can you feel it right now
Oh I can feel it right now
Sincerely,
LIBD
