100 days with you! :tada: :tada: :tada:

THANK YOU FOR FEATURING THIS! :ok_hand: :heart: :tada:

It's 100 days since I ed this community, so I thought I should do what I do best - *word vomit* :grinning:

That itself is warning you - this is going to be long post! :ok_hand:

First of, I wanna thank you for the warm welcome! I can say without hesitation that everyone I spoke with here, were nothing but nice, friendly, hilarious, talented and fan to the core! :sunglasses:

ABOUT ME

I thought, It would be good idea to properly introduce myself hah after that amount of time I spent here.

So my real name is Marie (my surname is too long and hard to pronounce so let's leave it) :grinning: I use MarieHope as a nickname since my high-school times, never changed it, even though I was tempted here to use name like Baek's soulmate, Mrs. Byun Baekhyun hah, Puppyhyun's girl :dog: .... Ahhh

I just turned 26(but I feel like 18 in my heart, keep it in your minds hah... I'm sensitive about my age) :see_no_evil: :joy:

I'm originally from Czech Republic, which is small country in the middle of Europe, where EXO is not going to set their foot in their lifetime, but that's okay... I live in England (for more than 3 years) anyways. They freaking know where Europe is, right.. Junmyeon! I have your promise safely in my mind... "see you soon international fans" , I'm saving money, so bring it on! :wink: :+1:

I work as an Aupair, teaching my hostkids about Kpop everyday :raised_hands: I'm actually raising new Kpop lovers generation :sunglasses:

I write a lot :relaxed: hoping to one day become an author :blush:

ABOUT HOW I ENDED UP HERE

When I came I was overwhelmed, didn't know how did I end up here and had no idea what to do whatsoever :joy: but I usually adapt very quickly and a bit awkwardly, but that's okay :ok_hand:

When I was sucked into the black hole called Kpop or more likely EXO (I love how everyone uses this reference) :sunglasses: btw you all already know how it happened and where it all started for me, 8 months ago (my Icebreaker challenge) :blush: ... Doesn't the fact how fast the time flies scares the hell out of you? Cuz it does for me :scream:

Anyways...

I kind of didn't know how did it happen, I tried to resist, I tried to stop, saying... Just one more video, just one more song... But everytime I did that something more sparked my curiosity and suddenly I knew all the names of the (even though at the beginning I was 100% sure, that only thing I need to know is to always find one particular puppy face in the crowd of other puppy faces... Yeah in case you wonder, that's me referring to EXO overall :joy: ), I could recognise every each of their voices,

I could tell whose picture of toe belongs to which member just by one glance, I kind of ended up watching all the funny videos, that I ran out of the videos to watch so I watched them again... And on repeat...

I told myself I'm not going to read any fanfics (cuz I knew it will capture me forever) and what did I do? I read tons of them... Ehm and even started my own one! :speak_no_evil: :grinning: :ok_hand:

... And all this without anyone to share my fangirling moments with :blush:

My friends are not interested and few of them don't even wanna hear about it(talking about bad music taste hah? :grinning: )

Then on one beautiful day, sun was shining through the window into my room, slightly blinding me, making my eyes teary, while I was on YT watching this girl reacting to What U need... Dying over Lay(I followed her lead), before she started the video she mentioned something about this app, I had no idea that exist...

That is how I ended up here!

End of story!

I mean, that is the beginning of it all! And now it's my 100th day, I met some awesome people, I laughed my ass off so many times, I cried my eyes out too many times (I'm emotional as hell, that's why I fit with this group so perfectly) :grinning: :cupid:

EA and EXO will be always reminder of me taking all my courage and finally start writing stories in English! Even if I was to be brainwashed, I will never forget to be grateful for this place.. giving me the right kick I needed!

I want to thank all the people who are following me, I'm really stoked and grateful!

I'm a little anxious when it comes to meeting and getting to know new people, but I didn't have this problem here, really! I'm usually silent member of any community I get into, like wattpad.. I love it, but I found myself struggle to voice my opinion in the comments and all!

Idk what is it about this place, maybe my strong fangirl side took over, or just all the activities and challenges brought the best out of me hah :joy:

I love posting my FF here, cuz everyone is just so nice and comments never fails to make my entire day! I will try to fulfil your expectations and write even better FF! :blush:

To say it simply, I'm happy here, this is my happy bubble and I never want it to pop! :purple_heart:

I hope I will celebrate 200 and 300 and infinite days here, I hope to see this community grow with the amount of new ExoLs, so we can continue to our Kings!

Cuz as long there is EXO-Ls, there will be EXO and other way around :revolving_hearts:
