Musings Of May 🍃

By the way one direction inspired an entire generation of young teens to become artists, readers, writers, musicians, animators. 14 year olds were hacking into security cameras. Do you genuinely understand how hard that is? I literally have a tech degree and i still view hacking as too complicated. 14 year olds were in literal stem to watch one direction buy a bottle of shampoo. They have genuinely altered the courses of so many people's lives in terms of careers and long term hobbies. It was never just the music. I literally started reading by reading fanfiction. I am now a very active reader of many genres. I got a fucking tech degree because i wanted to see how it was done. Like its so unbelievably crazy. And they were massively bullied by the media and the rest of the world. They were ridiculed by the music industry. They were the biggest boyband on the planet and the only one that went as global as they did and they had them parody their own song 3 seperate times. They were never nominated for grammys as a group. They were genuinely never taken seriously and they changed the courses of young womens lives.

Early one direction was fantastic. NO stage presence. No dance moves. They’d just be up on stage like awkwardly bopping around and shoving each other and like fucking giving eachother smooches on the cheek. There was one show where Harry styles got pantsed during his solo??? They were the boyband that NEVER wanted to or intended to be in a boyband! They were totally in it for the fame and the money, but they became BROS !!!! They were FRIENDS!! And that’s the true beauty, the friends we made along the way!

One Direction wasn’t a boyband, they were 5 boys in a band

Well Holy Shit.. found this buried in my likes and had to reblog and it’s one of my faves songs from this album… They sound so amazing together.. I miss Ziam singing together :(

Yeah this is basically ziam song, all the song is ziam solos Amazing.

i think "it takes a village" shouldn't be just "to raise a child". we should understand it takes a village to do literally everything we do. all day every day. without our communities we would not have drinking water or electricity or clean streets or food or shelter or anything. we cannot do any thing alone. we just can't. and with that comes the fact that you are not alone. you already have a community, seek to be an active part of it, you will feel better. reach out and thank them, they're happy to have you too. i promise. it takes a village to live.

It takes a village to raise a child and it takes every neighbor to raise a barn and it takes all hands on deck to clean the river. We were built as a communal species. Lend what you can, and accept what you're offered.

No you don’t understand, we’re all in the midst of grief but theres something so comforting about so many of us getting one direction tattoos. Cause at some point we were all made to believe loving 1d was silly even if we, ourselves, never felt that. One Direction shaped our adolescence and when the band stopped and we got older we never got closure on that part of our lives and maybe even ourselves thought it was silly to want a 1d tattoo. Now though, we’re all realizing just how much 1d meant to us, and made us into the people we are today, how we’ll carry that experience with us forever and we deserve to memorialize that part of our lives with a tattoo for the band we fucking loved more than anything. I’m getting my tattoo for the band tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited!!
