Weβve been screaming - or at least I have - that these boys deserved, no NEEDED, a break since the summer of 2013. If they were overworked 30 months ago, then damn well believe that, 3 albums and two world stadium tours later, thatβs even more true now.
Either you believe the words coming directly from their own mouths, all the promises and reassurances that they have painstakingly gone out of their way to give us, or youβre going to believe Dan Wattpad and Simon Cowellβs version of the truth. Of the two scenarios, which one is more trustworthy?
Iβm choosing to believe the four guys who have never shown anything but love, admiration, and appreciation for their fans, over the music mogul losing his biggest act and his hired mouthpiece that have been hellbent on a slash and burn campaign to destroy their images and fanbase.
Made in the AM is not only an amazing album, it is also a love song and a promise - to us. Iβm accepting it for that, taking the boys at their words, and sending them off for the rest and reflection they richly deserve. They said βthis is not the endβ, and I believe them.
If Iβm proven wrong, 1 year - 18 months - 2 years from now, then so be it. But Iβm not going to discount the friendships and experiences Iβve shared in this fandom for the last 3 years. Five boys on the stairs and a beautiful secret may have brought me here, but itβs the amazing people Iβve met and welcomed into my life that convinced me to stay when it would have been easier to walk away.
In the end, 5 albums, 70+ songs, and 36 months later, that is what has made my life richer and fuller, and I choose to let that be the legacy One Direction has given me.
