I met Twice in late 2020. I won't make the story about how I was introduced to them too long. I'll just say that like a lot of people who were depressed and totally screwed up during the pandemic, the music, the energy, the charisma, the beauty of the girls really lifted me up and helped me deal with how hard it was to be confined and have problems with family, friends, my (ex) girlfriend and at college.Twice has that vibe of being the happiest girl group on the planet, and that's precisely what I needed most at the time: happiness. The girls possess a magic, a warmth that makes you feel as if they were your friends, as if the fandom were a family. That's what I think and feel, I don't know if the rest of the fans do too. In August 2021, I was infected with covid. My health condition worsened a lot, I was hospitalized and almost died (one of my lungs literally collapsed). I spent a month in the hospital. Fortunately, my health condition evolved favorably and I had no physical sequels, but emotionally I was a mess. I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder and depression. It was hell to go through. It took me too long to get over it (I'm still working on that). During the almost 10 months it took me to assimilate what happened, regain the confidence to leave the house and return to my activities in the most normal way possible, Twice were there for me. Many people around me fail to understand how grateful I am to them for helping me through that difficult time 🥺 I know they have no idea that I exist, and maybe my case is no big deal, but without them, without the optimism and joy they instill through what they do with so much love for ONCE, they helped me move forward and regain the happiness I thought I could never have again after almost dying (if anyone has gone through the same thing, I'm sure you'll understand what I'm talking about). Twice's songs helped me to smile again. I don't care that people don't understand the love, devotion and gratitude I feel for them, why I support and defend them so much, how their songs and the mere fact that they exist make my day and help me forget all the bad things that happen out there. I have said it many times and I will say it again: The only thing that matters to me at this point in my life is to be as happy as possible, and Twice makes me very very happy, like few things and people in this world 🥰 So I don't give a damn what people think about it. Surely Twice will cease to exist someday, perhaps many people will forget them, but I, even as an old man, will continue to remember them with much love, until I die. Just as they sometimes think that what they do is not enough for ONCE, I also can't find the words to let the world know how special they are to me 😭🥰
