I have a lot of thoughts when it comes to Tao leaving. I believe that because Tao has had so many injuries in the past, that him leaving is better for him. The schedule was very hectic and there were times when I thought about reaching through my computer screen and just pulling him in for a much needed hug. And probably a nap as well.

I have hope for Tao though. I want him to do what is best for him and not for any other reason. He deserves that much, especially since (from what I've been able to gleam from articles) it seems like SM wasn't keeping their promises of allowing Tao opportunities to promote some solo activities. I hope that Tao is able to get better and work his way to a solo career where he sets the schedule and what he wants to do. With the rumors of a solo album coming out from Tao, I really hope that they are true. It would be nice to hear his voice shine.

I firmly believe that Tao's father was right to get Tao out the situation he was in. Our parents will always be our parents no matter what age we are. They will always care about our health and whether or not we are eating right. I am hoping that while he embarks on his solo career, Tao will always remember that his parents love him and want the best for him.

Tao, I know that you will probably never read this, but remember to take care of yourself. I hope that many of your fans from when you were in EXO will follow you. I pray that you have great success as a solo artist. Be the best person you can be and live life like it's your last day.
