: * .. ױױױ .. ୨୧ .. ױױױ .. * : i apologise in advance, some of this is probably going to sound very silly- read on if yoy don't mind me over exaggerating the smallest little things, it's a proven fact yume dwells over what is otherwise very insignificant ahaha. i'll try to keep this short, i seriously am not in the right mind to do anything today but i do want to finish this daily, not just because i want renown but also because of what this event means to me, yume. i still remember how i was introduced to s-pop. one of my friends at the time was already in the industry, and asked if i knew about it. i said i didn't (and i remember mentioning my own similar rp as well, but that story would take up too much space here so i'll save it for another time) but i was then curious about the community. i started looking around and asking how it worked (i remember one of the first spoppers i talked to was hyemi) and it all just went from there. the funny thing was, i had a company account even before i knew spop was a thing (due to the previously mentioned rp), so i thought it would be a good idea to manage it as an spop ent as well. except, i was very wrong bahaha xD it was a lot more work than i had initially anticipated (and when i say a lot i mean a lot). ...and this is where yume's entire life on this site changed. look, i don't know where i would be right now if i hadn't met encryn back in early 2023. you have absolutely no idea. after failing to run a survival show, three or four groups, two (i think) soloists all on my own- and that's not even close to the full reason. those were the times i was still going around s-pop as nabi, a separate sona i used to hopefully "fit better" within the community. i only saved "yume" for company-related stuff. and i don't think i would ever have grown out of that version of myself if it weren't for SDL. change comes in many forms, and it works different for everyone. in my case, if i had never gone through what i did, slowly shifting to realise that who i already was was all that i needed. that's the way i ses the story of nabi and yume. the ironic thing? it was right there all along, YB entertainment might have cane from one of my previous aliases "yumebutterfly", but it also came from "why be anyone else". i've gotten a lot more confident in singing since starting out as well. it's crazy- i listen to my old recordings and i swear i sound slightly higher pitched now than before even though i'm literally singing in my natural singing voice. the only conclusion i could get to was that i was not confident in those old recordings. most of them sounded muffled, hesitant, and mostly worried about the kinds of judgement she might recieve. i actually never thought i became an eris member because of my vocals in specific. if anything, it's absolutely any other factor (that i will probably never know, even). hey, take outside of spop as an example as well, just looking at me in choir this year and at the start of last year is a world of difference. spop has taught me two things: to work hard to achieve what you aim for, and to not be afraid to be who you are. sometimes it doesn't matter whether you have a great voice or not, all that does is that you're trying your best, having fun, making great memories, and ultimately being true to yourself. evolution is what brought me here in my s-pop journey, and i'd like to believe my life as well. this community has given me a reason to believe that i'm loved for who i am, and i wish to inspire others to feel the same way. ~ yume jun 23, 2025 : * .. ױױױ .. ୨୧ .. ױױױ .. * :
