LIAM PAYNE | 1993 ~ 2024

Hi friends,

It's been a minute and god I wish it was under different circumstances. I cannot believe I'm having to type this out, as the past 24 hours have been so surreal. Liam Payne is no more.

This comes to a shock for most of us, please hug your directioner friends a little tighter for me the next time you see them. We might not all have supported his actions throughout these past years, but we've loved him for a long long time. As many of us mourn the man we once knew, the man who played an important role in our youth and teenage years. Someone who was considered one of our first loves. We must remain kind towards each other as well, at the end of the day we are a family and yes we might not see eye to eye all the time, but we've been a family for years.

I've seen fangirls become such an intricate part of my life, friends turned to sisters even after all these years.

Let us not forget that two things can be right at the same time, let's not be upset or angry at the people that chose to hold him accountable but choose to mourn the man that they grew up with.

Let's keep his family, friends and everyone else that loved him in our minds and hearts tonight while we're forced to navigate the question of "Where do broken hearts go?"

PS. Let's not leave hate to any of the ladies that came forward against Liam. It's crazy how their comment sections have filled with the most vile comments, we're grown now. We need to do better.

I still listen to their music to this day, Well into my twenties. Growing up, Liam was my favorite, As he will remain for the rest of my life.

Liam had a certain pull to him, A magnetic field that was so powerful you couldn’t help but feel drawn to him. He was funny, Kind, Honest and Vulnerable.

I desperately wish he realized how loved he was, How much people cared about him and how unmissable he is. Liam, My angel, You deserved so much better and I hope you’re finally at peace up there. I hope you finally get your well deserved rest.

This goes to show, Again, How important men’s mental health is. Please don’t suffer in silence, I would rather hear your story a thousand times while you are alive then tell your story in your memory.

Rest in peace, You are tremendously missed and unconditionally loved.

Liam Payne

I don’t even know how to process what happened with Liam Payne, I do not condone or respect the abusive man that he was recently, but I still feel so much pain, so hurt when I think about him, when I see videos of them, I can’t even listen to the songs right now.

They were everything to me, they still are, and you kinda have that hope that one day they would come back, that they would talk and be best friends again like none of what happened happened, but then the news came, and the boys made posts about him and you just know it’s over, forever.

I saw on twt someone said that 1D stopped the day of hiatus, but died the day of his passing, and feels so real, and it feels so weird that I’m mourning him, I’m mourning the band, I’m mourning the teen girl I was at their peak.

I just wish this didn’t happened, I just wish they had one more chance to be the five of them together as friends, I just wish we could see them grow old with us.

At some point, and for some of us it will be very soon while for others of us it will be a long time from now, you will start to feel like you want to listen to One Direction, or to Liam’s music, and simply enjoy it. You’ll watch This is Us or San Siro and you won’t be in mourning, you’ll be enjoying yourself. You will look at Liam and think only happy thoughts, and you will know that he is gone but in that moment it won’t hurt the same.

And you may, in that moment, feel supremely guilty about it.

I need you, when it happens, to take those feelings of guilt and let them go.

Liam, I am so certain of this, would not want you to feel guilty for not feeling sad. Liam, with his big heart and his joy and his happiness, would want you to take delight in what he made for you. I know and believe this with everything in me.

We have all suffered a deep loss that will change everything, it will change how we view our fandom time forever, to varying degrees. But someday, your heart will say, I want to let life in. And you should let it, when that happens.

The idea of any of them dying when I wasn't much older is so foreign to me that when I did find out that liam had passed I dissociated and was in denial. It has finally hit me today, and my heart goes out to his son, his family, his friends, his fans, and anyone he made a positive mark on their life.

I do know that as of late him as a person has been a very much spoken about topic, and I for one am all for his accountability for his actions, and will not ignore the fact he was far from perfect, but I can also acknowledge that he was a massive part of peoples lives, even mine, and grieving something that is so surreal to me.

I'm sorry for not being super active lately, and even more so the past few days <3

Oh and also, check up on your loved ones please, you never know what someones going through.

louis’ is celebrating their bond, their friendship, the love they held for one another that got them through so many tough times. it’s saying they will never get to stand on a stage together again but let’s celebrate the good times, let’s remember the love.

zayn’s is highlighting that they were just kids at the start, they were boys thrown together into an insane, unimaginable situation and they needed each other. they found solace and comfort in each other and no one else can understand what they went through growing up together but they clung on to each other.
