Seventeen has really made a huge impact on my life. Most of the time I just spend my day watching their contents across various platforms. I've developed a deep affection for them, not just because of their music, but also for who they are as individuals. They bring me so much happiness and comfort, and became my escape when things get tough. They've become my safe space during difficult times and I really appreciate their dedication to their fans. They taught me valuable lessons and became an inspiration to us carats.

To my future version reading this, I hope you’re doing well. How is life treating you? Are you happy? Did you achieve your goals? I have so many questions to ask. Did you graduate or are you still studying? Have you visited London and if yes what was your favorite memory? Do you have a stable job and income? Are you satisfied with your life right now? I don’t really know what the future holds but I wish that you are always happy and striving. Good luck and I wish you all the best.
