~i can’t sleep right now, my head is full of thoughts about later. i don’t even know why i’m making this thread, but i just wanna share to you all my journey as a pre-debut eggie, because i’ve never been this attached to a group/show my whole life.
-it was 2018 when i started being interested with kpop. the first group that i stanned was BTS, i literally though that i’ll be forever loyal to them because i can’t make myself stan the other groups.
-2 years later, i-land came. it was june 1, 2020 when i saw the first release photos of the applicants. Daniel caught my attention that time, i was actually shocked when i found out that he was only 14 y.o.
-i told myself that maybe this is the time to stan other groups. it was june 26, 2020 when the first episode was aired. i haven’t actually watched the first episode because i didn’t know there was one
(i watched it in viki :<)
(i watched it in viki :<)
-while watching episode one, i literally thought daniel and jungwon were only one (both of them are my biases now), i was captured by the show and there is where i started looking forward to fridays.
), i was captured by the show and there is where i started looking forward to fridays.
-i remembered the times when i was so excited to watch every episode, i was moved. i would cry whenever someone is being sent to the ground, i would scream every time my biases get a high score, i would smile whenever i see they’re happy.
-and then i made this fan acc, i actually have no interest in making one at first. but when i entered eggie stan twt, i never regretted that i made this acc.
-i met new friends (shoutout to @cutesunghoonie @wonnietot: they’re my very first friends here, thank you for approaching me
)
)
-i don’t like to interact with other people before because i prefer being only with my group of friends, i’m an ambivert :> but when i entered eggie stan twt, i learned how to socialize with other people
-i learned so many things from i-land, especially when it comes to friendship and dreams.
-i’ve seen their hardships ever since day one, i’ve seen how much determined they are to reach their goals and i’m so proud of them for never giving up, for making it this far.
-i’ve learned how to be patient, i remembered being so frustrated every time i see the “livestream will begin shortly” in my screen. but now, i think it’s much better to have a staring contest with my screen than to say goodbye to the show.
-i’ve learned that no matter how good you are, other people will still focus on your mistakes to find a way to break you (sharawt to mn3t’s 3vil 3diting). but we shouldn’t care about that, what matters the most is that the people close to us knew who we really are.
-i’ve learned that nothing is constant in this world except for change. no matter how good the applicants are, their ranking will always be lower and higher than their previous one. our fate sometimes depends on other people.
-i never thought i would sacrifice a lot of time and effort for someone. i spent time making lots of accounts and emails just so my biases can debut.
-since i-land is coming to an end, i wanna tell all of you that i’m so grateful for being part of this wonderful fandom. i’m proud of us for making it with the boys this far, i will treasure and cherish all the memories forever. you will always have a special place in my heart 
i’m literally crying right now
