Welcome to part 1 of the Living as Me series (I’m not counting the intro as part of the series even though it is I guess. I don’t know, just go with it). Happy #MusicMonday! Also, shout out to Ateez on their latest comeback. It’s a great song! I haven’t listened to the rest of the album, but my Atiny friends have assured me it’s just as good, and by the time you read this, I’m sure they will have made sure I’ve listened to the rest of it. Also, for non-K-pop readers, all K-pop group fans have a name, and Ateez fans are called Atiny. Oneus fans are Tomoons, Snuper fans are Swing, JBJ95 fans are Jjakkung, The Rose fans are Black Roses, WEi fans are RUi, and Blackpink fans…………………………… Are you bored to tears yet?
Most of my non-K-pop readers have probably stopped reading. Sighs loudly Oh well. I would like to go on record that I could continue for at least two more lines with K-pop groups and their fan names (Astro fans are Aroha). However, to respect that not all of my readers are K-pop fans (E’last fans are Elrings), I will stop and continue with my blog. This week’s song is Thanxx by Ateez, and the lyrics are from colorcodedlyrics.com (Blackpink fans are Blinks). I really like this song because I feel like I have lived through the entirety of the lyrics. So, without further ado…. (UNB fans were UNME (It was adorable; I miss them)). Let’s go!!!!
“You’re gonna regret it” “You’ll understand when you are older” Same words every time I’m sick and tired of it I’m sick and tired of it (Nobody knows)
Honestly, now that I’m 26, people say this to me much less, but I think the only reason is that now that I am older, I do know. That being said, I was so sick of hearing it when I was younger!! Were they right? Yes. Did I care? No. Do I care now? Still no (Tomorrow x Together (TXT) fans are MOA(Moments of Awareness (Don’t ask me why. I didn’t come up with it))). We won’t know until we are older, so unless we are in physical danger, just let us figure it out for ourselves. You can give all the advice in the world, but it’s up to us to choose what we do with that advice and telling me the same thing over and over just makes me not want to listen to you. Also…. Dreamcatcher fans are InSomnia (that one I had to look up because I don’t really follow girl groups, but I LOVE it)
“What do you wanna do”
“What do you wanna be when you grow up”
I don’t know, it’s my first time
I think I’ll know once I get to live a little more
People still ask me this, and I’ve been giving the same answer for the past 10 years. I. DON’T. KNOW! I’ve never been 26 before! I’d never even been an adult until I was one (SF9 fans are Fantasy). I’m just trying to survive the week! You can keep asking me but being annoying isn’t make me come up with an answer any faster! I also would love to know what I want to do with my life (BTS fans are Army), but I don’t know. I really don’t. Actually, I do know. I want to blog and work with animals, and would you look at that……. I’m already doing it!!! Oh, you don’t like that answer…. too bad!
Do this, do that, I don't care If I keep ignoring you, I’ll have more fun, pop pop pop Pops like bubble gum, pum pum pum Ah yeah, like birds of a feather, they gather Their lips won’t rest, just clap your hands
Literally, talk to me about ANYTHING else besides my future. I’ve already answered you, you just don’t like the answer, and the more people bug me, the less inclined I am to give an answer. Everybody is so curious to hear about my life, and I’m really not that interesting!!! (Target fans are Wonnie). Seriously, it’s exhausting!! At this point, every day that the world doesn’t end is a success for me. Also, my life is none of their business. If they want to know more about me, they can read my blog, and they don’t. I know they don’t because if they did, they wouldn’t have to ask me the same questions every time they see me. They would have already gotten the answers from my latest post (Exo fans are Exo-L (I still don’t know what the L stands for)). This is because I’m not successful like my brother. The restaurant where my brother works is reopening one of its locations where he will be the new kitchen manager. They posted about the reopening on Facebook. My dad shared it and talked about how great my brother is (To be fair, he did get promoted…. Again. He should be proud) and how proud my dad is of him. I’m just reading it like, “Wow.” Maybe once I do something Facebook-worthy, they will leave me alone. They never ask my brother what he will do with his life. (Monsta X fans are Monbebe) They never bother him about getting his life together because it’s already together! I’m not mad at my brother. Me, him, and my sister-in-law have a group chat called the Pokémon Go Squad. It’s a lot of fun, so I’m not mad at my brother…. I’m angry at everyone else.
[Pre-chorus 1] “Lift the blue flag, lift the white flag” “Why aren’t you listening?” “When I was young…” “Kids these days…” Oops. Just mind your own business please
Do they want to live my life for me? Because if they think they can do a better job, then by all means, go for it! They probably could though. They don’t have anxiety, depression, muscular dystrophy, and no social life (Enhypen fans are Engene). What do they want me to say?? “I’m sorry I suck at life. My bad.” Or “I’m sorry I’m a failure. I will definitely try to remedy that for you.” Or “I’m so sorry my life isn’t good enough for you because obviously, every morning when I wake up, my first thought is what would you do!!!!!!!!”. It’s not like it’s MY life or anything (Vixx fans are Starlight). Seriously just go away! If you are going to talk to me about life, just don’t bother talking to me. “Why aren’t I listening” because nothing you are saying is helping!! “Kids these days…” What?! Kids these days, what!?!?!? If you’ve got a problem with me, I can guarantee that I won’t like you as much as you don’t like me. Also……. N.Flying fans are called N.Fia (It combines N.Flying with the word Utopia kind of like how Atiny is a combination of Ateez and the word Destiny (I had to look that one up to, and I’m ashamed because I actually really like N.Flying))
[Pre-chorus 2] “Everything I say is right” “I know because I've done it” Yes Sir, Yes Sir, Yes Sir Gracias
Yes, yes, I know…. You walked to school uphill both ways in the snow. You didn’t have a tv or a phone…… Well, I had a school bus, tv, and a phone, and if times have changed that much, you can’t honestly expect what worked for you to work for me. (NCT fans are NCTzens (if you say it fast, it sounds like N citizens)) Thank you for your input she says sarcastically. I will get right on that (not really). I will cherish your advice (that you’ve given me 10 times now) just as much as my mom’s cat Ember would…… so basically not at all (Kard fans are Hidden Kard).
[Chorus 1] Your worries? no thanks I’m ok I’m just doing me Don’t say it's all for my own sake Leave me alone, I’m in my own rhythm
Please!! Don’t worry about my life; I’m handling it. It’s my life, not yours, so I’ll live it my way. I’m sorry if my way isn’t good enough for you, but my mission in life is not to make you proud (I’ve already accepted that that will never happen). I’m good. Just…. Keep walking. Preferably in a direction away from me. (Mamamoo fans are called MooMoo’s. (I guess moomoo means radish in Korean. (Their light stick (all groups have one of those too) is in the shape of a radish. (However, I’m curious if the light stick came first or the fandom name)))).
[Chorus 2] Dancing, dancing, dancing Move, move, move Dancing, dancing, dancing (Let’s go let’s go) I’ll do it my way because I own it
I’m not dying, and the world is not ending, so what’s wrong with how I spend my time? I have a job, and I’m not in jail. I think that is a good start (Seventeen fans are called Carat’s (you know, like diamonds)). My psychiatrist told me I didn’t have to figure everything out right away, so why is everyone trying to make me do just that?
Fix On I’m firing, move out the way, I’m coming with a flash One, two, there’s silence Too much attention is poison so empty the glass, bless up I’m at the top of the top, I make my catch 100 out of 100 times Get ready and hold on, till until we're back-to-back
I’m sorry if my life isn’t good enough for others, but this song reminds me that I don’t even care. Too much interest is a poison, so if they could all just back off, that would be great. (Big Bang fans are VIP’s) It’s my life, and nobody else’s, so I shouldn’t care about their opinions anyway! In theory, this entire post is pointless. I shouldn’t even feel the need to write it!!!
[Pre-chorus 1 & 2] [Chorus 1&2] Don’t, don’t do it you're way I know me, I know myself well Whatever it is, I’ll do it my way Let me do so, leave me alone
I do! I know myself better than any of them! (D-crunch fans are Diana’s) Maybe I’ve been struggling so much because I’ve been trying to follow everyone else’s plans and expectations. Perhaps I should try doing it my way for once. My way………… I like the sound of that. Maybe everyone else needs to please read the rest of the sentence in an angry voice since that is how I am typing it leave me the hell alone when it comes to the way I live my life!!!!
We are another type We are another, baby Each one of us has a different speed We are all another, baby
I’m not my brother, I’m not my parents, and I’m not anyone else who is giving me advice. I’m me!! My life might not look like most peoples, but it doesn’t mean I’m failing. More importantly, I shouldn’t have to justify myself to anyone else! (Twice fans are Once (I had to look that up too (I know, right))) I don’t have to be like anyone else. I’m not dead, I’m not in jail, I don’t do drugs (hugs, not drugs), so I’m really not doing too bad. So, what if I don’t have my license yet? I’ll get there eventually. “When you ask?” “Whenever I feel like it, and now that you’ve asked, I really don’t feel like it.” I’ll get a boyfriend eventually and, by extension, get married. “When you ask,” Soon. I hope. At least the boyfriend part. At the moment, it seems incredibly unlikely since I don’t like meeting people. Still, I’m hoping one day he will just magically appear.” Wish me luck with that last one. I have two other single friends, so I don’t mind it as much anymore. I used to only have not single friends, and it was a nightmare. Also, Everglow fans are Forever. I had to look that one up, too though I can’t think of it anymore. Actually, aren’t Golden Child fans Golden Goldeness? They are. I think Imfact (I’m OBSESSED with their song nanana) fans might be Intuit. Let me check…. <5 minutes later> I was way off Imfact fans are IF (don’t ask me why I give up); however, there is a K-pop group called IN2IT and their fans are called IN2U which I think is absolutely adorable!!!!
They say "listen to us" "can't you at least try" yes sir, yes sir, yes sir I'm okay, it's alright Your worries? no thanks I’m ok I am just who I am Don’t say you’re doing this for me Leave me alone, I’m in my own rhythm [Insert Chorus 2]
Thanxx for the motivation speech, Ateez. Hahahaha, see what I did there? Are you laughing? No? Okay. Moving on…. Is there anyone actually still reading at this point?? And if you are still reading, I’m assuming you are either a K-pop fan, one of my friends, or one of my regular readers who was just really bored. And probably kind of hates me right now for all the K-pop references. Whoever you are, thank you for reading all the way to the end. This will not end up in my list of posts I’m most proud of. Still, I like the song, the message, and much like my life is right now, this blog is also mine, so I can do whatever I want, and y’all can ignore me, but you can’t stop me. Mwahahahahaha (That’s how I write evil laughter). This was terrible, possibly one of my worst, so gold stars for everyone who made it. Hopefully, the next one will be better. I just had way too much fun writing this to not post it. I’ll see you soon for part 2, so until next time……
Sincerely,
LIBD
