When there was a comeback, I bought dozens of the same album, streamed on every music platform that existed, played the music video non-stop, voted in polls I’d never even heard of, and searched everything everywhere every day until I was on the verge of a mental breakdown. My way of thinking became weird. I told myself it was worth it for the 'healing' it gave me, but I was just fooling myself.
Whenever useless merch came out, I bought all of it. At the time, I thought I was just enjoying a hobby and that it was good for me.
But looking back now, 95% of it was just suffering. Idol stanning left me with nothing.
If I had used that money to travel more, or even just bought things for myself, clothes, shoes, anything like that, it would’ve been so much better.
But as time passed, I realized it was such a damn waste. If I’d saved that money, I could’ve bought a Rolex d*mn"
I feel like crying when I think about how I wasted my money, time, and energy just to boost someone else’s success. Whenever there was a comeback, I signed up for every music site to stream, streamed the music video non-stop, and bought dozens of albums. I bought every single piece of pointless merch that came out.
Damn, even if I tried to sell this stuff now, no one would probably buy it. At the time, I convinced myself that stanning was having a positive impact on me. But looking back, it was all a complete waste. I almost lost my mind from being overly obsessed, and the stress I got from it was insane

1. Whatever the hobby is, you should enjoy it within your means. As long as you were happy and had fun at the time, that's what matters
2. If you do things with moderation, you'll never regret it. This is how you'll have things remain with good memories
3. I do let out a sigh whenever I look at all the albums, Bluray DVD and goods I purchasedㅎㅎ
4. You only know once you've already done it... Everything should be done in moderation
5. But do you not know how much happiness you get from fangirlingㅠ
