My name is Spurb! My main blog is @brysbeddixt and I’ve been a Shawol since December of 2021. When I became a Shawol, I was in a very difficult part in my life. I was an undiagnosed neurodivergent college student who felt trapped. I am not telling you this so you will pity me, but because it is relevant.

I got into K-pop because of dance group called 4x4 Studios, especially their “Random Dance Play” videos. I’ve had a passion for dance since I was 16. The small snippets I saw of Taemin’s choreography astounded me. From there, I went to watch the “Move,” “Criminal,” and “Lucifer” dance practices. From there, it was love.

I remember seeing a livestream clip in which Kibum said something to the effect of, “Live your life; and if people have a problem with how you do so, don’t listen to them. Only you know what is best for you.” So I did. I dropped out of college, moved in with my best friends, got a job, and decorated my entire room in my new home with SHINee posters.

This past Christmas, almost a year into me becoming a Shawol; my roommates got me a pack of SHINee photocards. They got me a SHINee keychain. My dad bought me the CHASE album. Minho’s black-and-white poster looks fantastic next to Jinki’s LGO ver. 4 poster.

Last month, I spent the money to rent out a dance practice space. I improve in leaps and starts each week.

SHINee, to me, is pushing towards a dream. SHINee, to me, is being your authentic self, and knowing what is best for you.

SHINee, to me; is comfort, is perseverance, is love for your friends even when you disagree.

SHINee is what taught me how not to be afraid.
