"you guys got to know me when you were still young and now you've gotten jobs, have careers and working. also it seems like you come to me to unwind a little from the stress of work.
ah you've all grown up now. when did you grow this much? when did you grow up so much?! ah seeing how well you've grown up beautifully makes me so proud.
even so, work is probably going to get harder from here on out. but you can do it right?! it's actually simple, just ignore everything. ignore all the things that stress you out. if you do that, work will probably feel a little easier. work hard but only listen to the things you wanna hear. that's how i live. i don't listen to the bad words, i only listen to kind words. that's why i only listen to 🧚🏻♀️ words and i don't listen to anyone else. kay?! work hard and when you're spending time with me let's have fun together!!! that's how i'm going to live too. okkk? i love you all! i love you! i love youuu! and to those who can't travel abroad, i hope you'll stay healthy and happy and well until i come to china again. okaaay?! i love you i love you! WHEEEEEEE! 👌🏻"
and honestly i think that's the healthiest mindset to live. if the goal is to get through life then shouldn't we be trying to be happy? work hard while taking care of yourself, find things that make you happy and hold on to them. what xm said is something a lot of fairies have already been doing. we're here because being a fan brings us joy and likewise he has brought so much happiness into our lives, not because we want to spend our time hating on other members or fight strangers online. not only to fairies but other fan too please remember what he said and just because someone else is being awful doesn't mean we need to prove anything by doing the same (i know it's TEMPTING to fire back FCKKKKKK AAAHHH but still its needed sometimes) maybe choosing not to engage is the better choice (just maybe idk). we're not the biggest fandom but i'm grateful that so many of us have managed to stay level headed through all this. and just because we're not sitting in your quotes and replies all day doesn't mean he has no fans duh we simply have lives outside this app we'd rather spends our time enjoying the artist we love, to spends our energy on things that actually make us happy, saying only the kind stuff, and move on with our day!!! which means most of us have better things to do than obsessing over people we dislike. to minseok, i love you ♡ and to all my fairy friends, i love you ♡

never forget when EXO is the only SM group that generated the highest Earned Media Value (EMV) from 2020-2024, and the only group with just one album released during that period. EXO kings indeed! 🎉👑🎶🤍 #엑소@weareoneEXO
