Me 2026.
there was a time when listening to Me was so hard. not because i hated the song, but it broke something in me everytime. it hurts in a way i never really knew how to explain. i couldn’t listen without crying.. sometimes i still do. and i’m not trying to romanticize sadness, this is just how i feel.

and i always get sappy whenever you achieve something. because the more you grow, the more comfortable you become with yourself, the more this song starts playing in my head. it reminds me of how far you’ve come since that day. no matter how many times i say how proud i am of you, it never feels like enough.
today hearing you say that you’ll think of Me as something happy changed something in me. so maybe i’ll try too. i’ll try to hear it as something lighter now. i’ll cherish your return after everything you’ve been through. i’ll listen to it as a reminder that you kept going, and you did really well, seungcheol.
“me with two names, living two lives. what kind of life do you love?” to you who didn’t let go of my hands when i wanted to die, as you said, i love you in every kind of way, seungcheol.
thank you for pouring your heart out. thank you for letting us see your vulnerable side. i’ll cherish this song. i’ll cherish you. and i’ll keep reminding myself that you got through it all in the most beautiful way. i hope you do too 🤍
