I made a life, a career out of my faith. So when I encountered @bts_bighit & BTS ARMY, you can imagine my skeptical surprise when I saw love like I had never seen embodied, before.

One reason (among many) I think the connection between BTS and ARMY is special, is bc we nurture generative feelings in one another.

[An imperfect, still-in-development thought-thread.] +

Many ARMY testify to how BTS helped us love ourselves. But we've heard that msg from others before (often in glib packaging).

But just telling someone to feel something isn't enough to manifest it. Why is BTS's messaging so differently able to let light into our lives? +
