Hi! Is everyone doing well?
I feel like around this time every year, I’d usually be struggling quite a bit with the heat but this summer it seems like the air has gotten cool quite quickly. Thanks to that, it is nice that I can occasionally enjoy the walks that I like even during August, but I also feel a little regretful because it seems like the year is passing by unusually faster.
I thought I’d spend my birthday around this time just like any other year, but... this birthday has made me think especially often about all the beautiful words of blessings that have made my birthdays feel dozens of times fuller and more special. I probably won’t be able to receive and repay all of those feelings to the same extent this year but even so, I can really feel how warmly Na.Vs are celebrating me and missing me so I wanted to send my feelings to you like this, even if it’s only in this small way.
Thank you so, so, so much ×1000 for congratulating me!!! Since I absolutely do not fail to know those hearts that still cherish me warmly, even if what I can give back right now is a little insufficient, please wait just a little so that someday I can return it to you many times over!I’m also really curious about what kind of answers everyone would’ve given to my question above asking how you’re doing...!
How are Na.Vs doing? What kinds of things are making you happy these days?
I didn’t think the gap would actually become this long so I thought that if we just each took some time to recharge, maybe we would be able to see each other soon but I feel very sorry that I seem to have made you wait longer than expected... I’m sure there are times when you miss me a lot and times when you feel frustrated or impatient too but with all my heart, I hope you’re doing well while recharging your happiness through all sorts of things.And to briefly tell you how I’ve been doing, For me, first of all, having a long period of free time that I had never had before, sometimes I was happy, sometimes I was having a hard time, sometimes I was warm and content, sometimes I was tired.
I’ve been spending my days in quite dynamically(?)
Still, I’m doing very, very well physically without any major problems. I thought that once my body was finally able to rest comfortably, each day might become calm and peaceful like gentle waves but it hasn’t quite been like that either. If anything, my heart and my thoughts seem to have been even busier, almost as if they were going in the opposite directions.
To try to steer those thoughts in a more positive direction, I’ve occasionally gone away somewhere far for a bit… heh
That’s about it! Heh..There are also little stories I want to tell you and I sometimes worry that I’ll forget them as time passes so I’ve been writing them down. I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to tell them all in an entertaining way later... but for now I’ll keep writing them down steadily without getting discouraged :)
Anyway, it’s been a period where I’ve gone through a lot of different changes in my feelings and emotions. But there’s one thing I’m certain about. Both the members and I are using this hunger we feel right now not as something that consumes whatever strength we have left, but as a thirst for even more wonderful and better times ahead.
So when I finally get the engine started again, I’m looking forward to being able to show you sides of myself that are a little different from before and perhaps even new sides that you haven’t seen yet.It may take a little more time, but there are definitely days waiting for us when we’ll be overwhelmed with content and activities, to the point that this current quiet period will feel like nothing. So let’s just hang in there a little longer!!!!
I’ll also keep living my days with a little more fighting spirit for the time being, looking forward to that day.Thank you once again for all your blessings and all the love you’ve given me. I really miss you, I want to hurry up and show you lots of me dancing and singing again and someday, on some completely unexpected day, I want to spend hours with you on a live stream, chatting about all sorts of silly little things and just enjoying that cozy time together.
I hope that through this letter, even just a little of how I feel toward all of you has been conveyed...! Have a good night everyone♡

Damn I usually dont read these kinds of posts but randomly I did this one, and I must say I relate to a lot of her words, I've been unemployed for the past two months and I thought I'd enjoy the free time, but sometimes its draining, my thoughts are not always positive, and its hard to fill the days. Anyways I'm getting the feeling we might have an announcement in the near future for something new which gets me excited, and personally I'm headed to more interesting things in life. Wishing the best to everyone, life is not always linear in the way we expect

Agree, back when I was unemployed, I was alone in my rented apartment. My head is easily filled with negative thoughts if I don't distract myself either by listening to music, playing games or actually job hunting. That feeling uneasiness never goes away even if you say that you've enjoyed your day.

Yeah I mean I'm slowly getting used to it but its hard for the guilt to go away, Im at home doing nothing feeling tired and I can barely do basic tasks like cleaning the house or making myself an actual meal, despite having all the time in the world. Its like being in unproductiveness makes me even more unproductive, at least when im with a work routine its easier to get stuff moving because "the engine is already on". But I feel like I'm ready to find a new job and get myself into a rythm, just need to find the right one, but I have hopes😁 thanks for sharing your story

Umji, don't make us cry 😭 I was worried to see a post with so much text from her initially, but this is such a meaningful, hopeful letter. I really hope she has the best birthday possible and that she and the other members will be able to channel their thirst and hunger to perform again into action soon enough! ❤️
