Today I'm grateful for SHINEE. They aren't anywhere near my favorite K-Pop group but Jonghyun really has a special place in my heart. He commit suicide in 2017 and maybe because we're nearing that anniversary (December 18) it's been making me feel really sentimental. He had such a beautiful voice and it truly makes me so sad that we will never get to hear it sing again. SHINEE had a comeback a few months ago and it's hard to listen to it because I just keeping "it would've been so much better if Jonghyun was in it." The crazy thing is, I didn't even know who SHINEE was when he passed. I guess knowing that he commit because of the all the hate he got while in the industry just really gets me. This morning I was listening to his solo songs and just got really sad. I looked up his Instagram, and the last thing he posted a month before his suicide was a screenshot of a Korean song he was listening to with the caption "I pray you are not hurting" and it just really got me. I miss him nearly everyday despite never knowing him.
I'm grateful for ENHYPEN because they got my former K-pop hater cousin into K-Pop. I like their music and while I think they're overrated, they've helped my cousin get into something that me and my other cousin have been trying to recruit her into for years.
I'm grateful for Overwatch because it has become my new favorite game so quickly. While I still love Fortnite, Overwatch makes me feel like I'm apart of a gaming community. I've grown to love all of the characters and their stories, and it's such a fun game to unwind and relax to after school.
Continuing this game streak, I'm grateful for Roblox. It hasn't done as much for me as Minecraft but it's still a classic game nonetheless. I still occasionally play it with my cousins to this day and it has served us many laughs and good times. It's such a diverse game and I don't really know why it gets so much hate.
I'm infintely grateful for Minecraft because of all the memories I've made on it throughout the years. It's such a classic and my number 1 childhood game. I've met so many friends on Minecraft over the years and even while I don't play it as much anymore, it still serves as a nostalgia trip for me and my cousin to play together.
I'm so grateful for my home. Hearing about the terrible things happening in Palestine has made me so grateful for the little things. Even if I don't live in the nicest place, it's better than being on the streets or living in constant fear of not having a place to stay.
I'm so happy that Omegle shut down because it was such a downright nasty site. I had fun trolling random people at sleepovers but there were so many weirdos on there so I'm glad more children are being saved from possible trauma. The experience was usually either getting flashed or doxxed.
I'm grateful for the K-Pop group Stray Kids because it got my cousin into K-Pop. That sounds super shallow but I've been trying to put my cousin onto K-Pop for years. Even though Stray Kids aren't my favorite, I still like their music too and they lowkey revived my hype for K-Pop when I heard their music.
