BTS are a seven member K-pop group from Seoul, South Korea who debuted in 2013. Since then, they have become one of the most influential artists of the decade. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book exists to show the lasting impact of BTS' trilogy of albums Love Yourself: Her (2017), Love Yourself: Tear (2018) and Love Yourself: Answer (2018); subsequent tours of Love Yourself (2018-2019) and Speak Yourself (2019); BTS' Love Myself campaign to end violence towards children with UNICEF and; BTS' speech at the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly in 2018 where leader RM said: \"I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I'm starting to love myself, little by little.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe message of self-love woven throughout BTS' work has deeply and profoundly impacted the lives and experiences of their fan base, ARMY. Through the darkness, I will love myself, is a testament to how BTS' message lives on to this day and is interpreted in a multitude of unique ways by each contributor from around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBTS say \"Love yourself,\" but what exactly does that mean? What self-love is can be hard to define, and often even harder to practice. Through the darkness, I will love myself is a collection of creative works from 18 writers and poets, all ARMY, that seeks to examine what self-love, and self-hate, looks and feels like. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChannelling lived-experience through characters, prose and redacted lines, this book doesn't aim to define self-love, it shows self-love and self-hate as a never-ending journey towards self-actualisation. From moments of joy, to the depths of despair, each contributor shares a unique perspective that speaks to a universal truth: the only way to survive whatever darkness we may be facing is to go right through the middle, one step at a time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelf-love isn't a destination, it exists and permeates through the darkness alongside us in every moment of the journey. It exists on the other side of self-hate, and often there is a give and take, one which is encapsulated within these pages. Through the darkness, I will love myself is a letter to the world: loving yourself isn't easy, but let's try anyway. One step at a time, into the darkness once more, together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Moonrise","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50448278323474,"sku":"9780645048612","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ddc83c60-d0be-4aef-8915-6830bba73ab2.jpg?v=1729731642","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/through-the-darkness-i-will-love-myself-9780645048612","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
