nothing is more touching than seeing nicholas bravely take... a different path to follow what he truly wants to do, telling both the boys and us, his fans, directly through that clip acting and becoming an actor has been something he’s wanted for a long time. so, whatever decision nicholas makes, we must continue to support him and hope that it leads to a bright future full of happiness he has worked so hard and gone through so much. i hope everything he’s given his all for turns out successfully on the path he has chosen sending my virtual hugs… i know this is hard for us who were hoping he could debut with the others. but seeing nicholas share that with a smile and determination in his eyes, there’s no reason for us to feel down for too long 🥹🫂show more

sometimes i think abt how hardworking and disciplined minho... has been for all his life .. he volunteered at elderly homes, he took on multiple jobs while also studying to afford dance classes, he lived alone at a young age, he donated to sponsor children, he gave what he could to others even when he didn’t have much himself.. he took in stray kitties without hesitation and without even asking his mom first, just cus of how kind his heart is… </3 and even while he was working towards his dream he put others before himself along the way.. he never head it easy, he was never given anything for free… he always had to work hard for it and he never complained he got eliminated on the survival show for the sole reason of using his pain for engagement. he walked home in the rain cus he felt like he didn’t deserve a taxi. they broke him and disrespected him and he still showed up the next day to keep going and give everything he has. his dedication and commitment is insane ;; it honestly makes me so emotional… i feel sad thinking abt everything he went thru but at the same time i know this was always his dream. i don’t care abt streams or charts at all but seeing where the group is now just gives me so much relief. it means all his effort and hard work wasn’t for nothing :( i’m just rly proud for him… i’m so glad he got to achieve what he worked so hard for. today he’s able to buy the prettiest toys and treats for his kitties, able to spoil his family, able to casually buy a gucci bag for his dads bday… his face is on the biggest screens, everyone knows him. he must feel so accomplished </3 u came so far. i’m so so so proud of u minho. u deserve everything u have and so much moreshow more

President Carter’s time on this earth is coming to... an end according to his grandson Jason Carter. What a great man. At 99 he has accomplished so much. With an election coming up let’s remember all he has done for voting rights. Jason Carter: "My grandfather is doing okay. He has been in hospice, as you know, for almost a year and a half now, and he really is, I think, coming to the end. I’ve said before, there’s a part of this faith journey that is so important to him, and there’s a part of that faith journey that you only can live at the very end and I think he has been there in that space."show more

This may seem so simple to most, but this... is a huge win for us! Due to the cognitive delays caused by Sanfilippo, coordination is greatly impacted and makes tasks most of us take for granted, difficult. Clark pretty much exclusively has to drink with a straw but yesterday he went and grabbed his “big boy cup” and went to town! Got a little on his shirt but overall he did great! These small tasks are such huge wins for us and continue to give us hope for his future and all kids with sanfilippo.show more

Today I was going for a beach walk when... I came across this intersection… For some reason, I stopped and stood there for a while reflecting. It reminded me of something we recite every single day in Surah Al-Fātiḥah: “Guide us to the Straight Path.” In life, we face so many crossroads. Thousands of choices that shape who we become. Through Islam, Allah gives us a clear guide. A path that keeps us balanced, grounded, and protected. And every time we pray, we’re reminded to return to that Straight Path. Because Allah knows what’s best for us, and He knows that His path is the easiest, safest, and most peaceful way of life. ❤️show more

[rant post I'll probably delete later] Today was the... most beautiful day for me. As much as i got to enjoy the happy moments i still have been feeling emotional the whole day bcs of everything that was shared by taekook. I am always praying for taehyung and jungkook’s best health. Taehyung who has been going through so much yet chose to keep his pain to himself because he didn’t want to worry armys. Taehyung who said he didn’t have anyone to rely on during his military service. Taehyung who was away from fans for two years and felt that absence so deeply that he broke down the first time he stepped on stage again. Taehyung who lost his most precious pet. Taehyung who faced injuries but never spoke about them. Taehyung who has been going through a hearing problem for 2.5 years now. Taehyung whose pain was invalidated. My heart aches for him. Jungkook who hurt his shin so badly he developed a severe inflammation and is on the verge of getting a stress fracture yet still keeps giving ARMYs 100% of his dedication and never complained. Jungkook who suffered a back injury during a performance. Jungkook who keeps asking fans to understand despite owing us nothing. Jungkook who went through such a difficult time during his military service. Jungkook who despite being one of the most sincere people when it comes to his fans is still misunderstood. Jungkook who is the most precious to my heart. My heart breaks for him. If i could somehow give both of them my share of good health and happiness I would do it in a heartbeat. There is nothing more precious to me than seeing them both healthy happy and living their best lives. despite all the happy moments they have shared with us I’m so glad they felt safe enough to share their struggles with us. I will always be forever grateful that i get to love you both. I genuinely don’t know what the purpose of my life would be without loving them with all my being. Thank you for existing. I will never take your love for granted. Take care my loves 🤍show more

More than anything, Jungkook wants to speak through music.... He wants to let his voice do the talking. He chooses simplicity over complication even as a star who has already grasped immense fame and popularity. As he said over and over, what he truly wants is to be recognized as a “Singer” who simply loves to sing, who never stops chasing that passion. And that’s exactly why every time he sings, his voice moves something deep inside me. Can’t explain it all even if I try 😭 I feel it at my core. His voice leaving behind a resonance that lingers for so long…🥹show more

‘on me’ turns 5 today.ᐟ a track that holds... so much meaning — for sehun and for us. he poured his story into this song, fought to release it, and gave us a masterpiece he’s so proud of. can’t wait to see him back on stage and hear more of his voice soon 🧡 #OnMe5thAnniversaryshow more

Heeseung really went through so much these past two... days 😭💔 he had a bad cold, his throat hurt every time he spoke, and he even thought maybe he couldn’t perform... but the moment he saw engenes, he told himself, “I have to do this.” even though he was struggling, he still gave us his best, bcs he wanted to show us a high-quality stage. he put so much pressure on himself, even when he didn’t have to. just knowing that he pushed through all of that for us… I’m honestly so proud. thank you for standing on that stage and performing with all your heart heeseing :( even when it wasn’t easy. you were amazing, Heeseung. truly. 🥹💗show more

what im about to say is just MY vision!... this is how i see it i feel like the car in the mv represents heeseung himself and everything he has gone through over the years. in the mv, when he first got the car, it’s bright red. red symbolizes his passion, excitement, and happiness as he finally achieves the dream he had worked toward for so long. he has debuted, he is standing on stage and he is doing what he always wanted to do as the story progresses, the car becomes almost completely gray. i see this as a reflection of heeseung’s burnout and emotional exhaustion. the feeling of becoming drained after constantly giving so much of yourself without having enough time to recover. heeseung had dreams and desire to release his own solo music and show a different side of himself as an artist, but he wasn’t able to do it, he pushed it aside for a long time so he started losing hope. the fading color of the car mirrors how his passion and motivation were slowly being overshadowed by frustration and disappointment yet the car never becomes entirely gray. the driver’s door is still red. that remaining red represents the part of heeseung that refused to let go of his dreams and passion. no matter how exhausted he became, no matter how much disappointment he faced, there was still a small part of him that continued to believe that things could get better. the car is literally following heeseung and refusing to let go. i feel like it symbolizes the passion that survived even when everything else seemed to be fading away – the fully red car shows the joy of a dream coming true – the gray car shows the emotional cost of everything that came afterward – and the driver’s red door shows that no matter how difficult the journey became, he never completely lost himself that’s why i believe the car represents heeseung/his dreamsshow more

🐧 said he has something he wants to say... today. He knows that recently, something involving him caused ENGENEs to worry and feel hurt… so he wants to say that he’s sorry for making you worry, and that he’ll make sure nothing like that happens again in the future 😭 he is sorry for making you worry, and he says that because there are ENGENEs who still trust him, he feels like he can work even harder MY SUNGHOON WE ARE SORRY you have to go through this 🫳🏻🥹😭show more

I have had the privilege of knowing @sir_Wicknell for... over 20 years and traveling around the world with him. Along the way, I have witnessed firsthand his relentless work ethic, vision, and determination to succeed. I have seen him build and expand his many ventures across different parts of the world, always striving for excellence and creating opportunities for others. What has always stood out to me, however, is not only his success but also his generous heart. His passion for philanthropy and his commitment to uplifting people have touched countless lives. He understands the importance of giving back, and he continues to use his blessings to make a positive impact on others. He has and also continues to be a blessing to the whole church and to me in particular ! Watching his journey and growth has been truly inspiring. His achievements are a reflection of hard work, perseverance, and God’s abundant grace. I thank God for the favor and blessings upon his life, and I pray that He continues to guide, protect, and prosper him as he reaches even greater heights while remaining a blessing to so many.show more

Dear Temba Mliswa Sabhuku Temba P. Mliswa your son... has asked me countless times if he can have a baby sister and the young man is sad because his best friend at daycare has a baby sister at home but he doesn’t. I told him he has a lot of sister’s in Zimbabwe but he’s insisting he wants a baby sister. In my house whatever Tino wants Tino gets, now I don’t know what to do Baba Tino. I’ve unblocked you so that you can talk to the boys and I would also appreciate we have a mediator someone like Saviour Kasukuwere who I respect so much, munhu mukuru wandinonyara titaurirane hopefully he might assist us in ironing out our differences for Tino’s sake. The boy misses you so much. He’s always locating you on the World Map. His older brother has been teaching him how to read the Map so they never forget how to get back home.show more

You can't put into words what Paul Mullin means... to Wrexham. For all his heroics on the pitch, he transcended it through his connection with the fans and the community. He gave his all for the club and delivered when it mattered the most, time and time again. The type of goalscorer a generation was told about but had never seen themselves. The man who turned us all into believers and made those dreams come true. A victim of his own success, he propelled us up the leagues so quickly that we didn't get to enjoy him long enough. To do what he did while missing two pre-seasons is absurd. Most of all, he is a great person. Someone who always puts his family first and stands up for what he believes in. A working-class lad from Litherland, who became a global star. A true Wrexham legend and one of the very best to ever wear the shirt 👑 #WxmAFCshow more

So… The good news is Tyler is still with... us. He didn’t eat or drink much overnight but was up and down and fairly bright-eyed this morning. The bad news is he likely won’t overcome his condition barring a miracle. He isn’t stable enough to transport to a clinic and he is in all likelihood past the point of recovery anyway. The vet will be here a bit later to examine him but we are all bracing ourselves for the worst. He wanted to get out of his stall (pushed past as we cleaned it) so he roamed around the front yard for 20 minutes, looked into the living room, stood under a tree for a bit and is now lying down in the cool grass. With small exceptions he can do whatever he wants to today. I just wanted to say that I’m beyond overwhelmed by the support and kindness from everyone throughout this ordeal. Never once did I feel alone and I know Tyler felt it, too. Because of all of you he didn’t die in a grody kill pen, he will head to heaven feeling loved. Like they all deserve. My heart is broken, I know all of yours are too… I will say goodbye for all of you, I promise.show more
