Today marks officially 200 days since I fell in love with Seventeen ❤

this is gonna be long and sound so cheesy, just givin’ ya a warning if you’ve decided to click the read more link.

It’s weird, but before I found Seventeen, I could never get into kpop. I wanted to, I listened to some random songs here and there, I always kinda liked the idea of getting into it. But whenever I looked at the comments of kpop MVs, seeing other fans’ dedication and devotion for their idols, I thought “I really don’t think I have that kind of level of dedication”, so I always just casually observed kpop, watching random MVs and random compilations (even if I didn’t know more than half of the idols and groups in the compilations 😂)

But then one compilation I found, I saw Jeonghan and Mingyu, and I just instantly fell in love with Jeonghan cus he’s freaking gorgeous and he had his cute Pretty U bob (which is now my favorite hairstyle on him), and so I searched them up and listened to a few songs and… somehow instantly fell in love with them! I suddenly found the dedication to learn all their names, listen to all their songs, and learn everything I could about them because I just had this overwhelming urge to be their fan.

Obviously 200 days is not as long as Carats who have been with them since before debut, and honestly I wish I could’ve found them at least when they debuted so I could’ve watched them grow into the amazing group they are now! But these last 200 days have been some of the best 💗

Before getting into kpop, I never saw much value and point in celebrating such smaller anniversaries like this that weren’t big milestones like 6 months or 1 year. And I definitely never celebrated how long I had been a fan of a celebrity, cus I just never thought of it, any American celebrities I like I don’t follow this closely. But… being a Carat is so so different.

I feel so loved by Seventeen because they do love their fans so incredibly much 💗 I feel so grateful to them because over these past 200 days, they’ve made my smile at times when I felt the worst. I feel so genuinely, overwhelmingly, indescribably happy whenever I see them!! I constantly wish I could do more to pay back their love because their love has meant sooo much to me. They’ve made me cry and laugh and grin until my face hurts. They’ve touched my heart with their music and their beautiful personalities. They’ve given me such pretty and encouraging words that stick in my head every day.

I wish I could properly express just how much they mean to me but I just can’t find all the words that truly express my love for these 13 wonderful boys. They are the whole reason I’ve gotten into kpop and found something I’m very passionate about. They are one of my reasons (aside my wonderful friends and family of course) for smiling every day and going forward with my passions and dreams. I just can’t thank them enough for being who they are, for being such wonderful and selfless people that constantly want to give back more and more to their fans because somehow they still think all the love they’ve given just isn’t enough. I can’t thank them enough for just… existing so I could find them and become their devoted fan. I constantly feel so proud to be a Carat because they never fail to amaze me with their talent and kindness.

Like I said, this all sounds so cheesy, but I just really truly love them so unbelievably much. These 200 days have been so amazing, and I can’t wait to celebrate more milestones with them and watch them as they grow and improve more, and put out even more amazing music that’ll make me cry and smile just as much.

Thank you Seventeen 💗💖❤💕💝💟💞😘
