This is my entry for the XOXO contest~ :D 

Why do I need EXO's kisses and hugs? You ask. 

Well, I will tell you, it's very simple in fact. Wait no, actually fairly compilcated. 

EXO for me is no ordinary kpop group. All 12 members have their own distinct and unique charm, making it nearly impossible to ever think to have one bias and maintain it within the group. Most importantly, the thing that strikes me the most is how SM got this group together from different parts of the world. From Korea, China, and Canada. 

It took me a while to realize how much I was falling in love with these boys. They lured me in, trapping me with their talents and charms, and before I knew it I was an exotic. My new love instantly grew, I became hungry, hungry for more. I watched millions of fancams and videos on YouTube, seen a thousand hilarious gifs, and laughed at their humor and interactions. Before I knew it, I was more than in love. I felt a strong connection with these boys. It was like no other connection though however. It was as if I knew them, personally, and even though a computer screen was separating us, there wasn't a barrier. 

Through AsianFanFics, I found out this magical place, where suddenly, I could be with EXO. It was strange, at first, being able to be right there. But as I slowly got used to my surrondings, I found myself in a new place. 

The bond with EXO grew stronger of course, and I was even more in love with these dorks. Their silly behaviors never failed to make me laugh, and it always would cheer me up. 

Then I realized what EXO truly meant to me. Kpop, was this magic carpet, that swept me off my feet. It took me on journies I've never been on, and gave me experiences to remember for life. But EXO, they were my escape from life. When ever I felt down, they always managed to cheer me up. They lifted my heavy spirit and taught me that no matter what I'm going through, to never give up. That I should always keep my head held up, and to always stay strong. Even if I'm suffering from my lowest low, that I should always pull through. 

Just like they had experienced, before EXO could ever happen, those boys had to go through hard, tiring training. They worked hard, everyday, with no breaks. But yet, they held together, and worked together until light could be seen at the end of the tunnel. Now, they were stronger, working together as one, as they continue to amaze their fans around the world. 

That showed me a powerful message, even making me feel as if I've never been through the worst. So now, EXO made me stronger, they taught me to never let myself down, even if I wanted to let go. 

And to this day, I feel like I can never seem to stop thanking EXO for their continuous strength and encouragement they provided me. 

To me, their kisses are the wonderful songs that have powerful messages hidden deep inside, while hugs are notes of encouragement, to always keep holding on. 

Each day, I wonder, How could I ever live without these boys? How could I be the person I am today, without EXO? 

Now that, was the reason why I needed their kisses and hugs each day so I can always keep moving forward. 

Thank you EXO, for always being there for me.  

XOXO, sparkle_diamond

Regardless if it seems a bit strange that EXO managed to make me stronger even though it seems that they didn't do anything at all, somehow, they did. 

Which kind of surprises me, in fact. 

But, those dorks have their ways around, don't they? :D
