three, two, one.
i've been missing from proper online interaction for a little bit, but i won't be again starting with this post! i don't know if i'll be able to make on the actual day because it's the actual day!! hahaha but i don't really want to joke anymore right now because this is important.
but soon, it's going to be the one year anniversary since the debut of exo. it's been a very other worldly experience being able to perform with everybody and to work hard as both an idol and a person. we've come a very long way and we've been able to see places that i thought i would only ever be able to talk about or read about. the eleven other people that are always beside me, sometimes a lot closer than i really want them to be, are eleven people that have really meant a lot to me and eleven people that i would choose over and over and over again to be standing beside me if i were given the choice. they are the best eleven people to have guided me and helped me through all of this time together. at first, i felt like i didn't belong because everybody trained for years and months much longer than i did, waiting for a debut and i was able to debut after only after months thinking that i still needed to train because it was too soon and i didn't deserve it. but i am more than thankful that i've had eleven people to be able to cheer me on and tell me that this is where i need to be. it's taken me awhile, but i believe this now.
i want to thank my parents too. they've been really patient with me and really supportive of my dream even though they didn't really understand it. music and singing is what i love and i couldn't ask them to understand that because the things that my mom, my dad, and my hyung loved are different. i think when it comes to my parents, i was really lucky and i will never forget it. they were by my side this whole time and hyung cheered me on a lot too. i guess they just wanted me to be happy and they were even happier when they learned this was something that i could really do because not everybody can both love something and be able to share it with the everybody the way we do, right? they were a little scared too. without them and their support, i don't think i would have been able to stand on stage with my head up as high as i did or get through the awful days as easily or as quickly.
there are a lot of other people to thank that helped me and all of exo get here. the hyungs and noonas and sunbaes all around us. all of the friends i've been abe to make too. but i think it is very important to thank the person that i love who has helped me a lot. they have taught a lot of things and helped me in growing as byun baekhyun. i've become a lot more understanding and capable. after just a year, i think that i've been the same baekhyun. but i've really learned that there is a difference between baekhyun and byun baekhyun. not by much. byun baekhyun has grown up a lot thanks to baekhyun. because of baekhyun, i've been able to to experience and live through so many things for the first time.
for one year as exo, thank you very much. i hope that everybody will be able to let us live on as exo for many more years to come!!
