I think many of you have heard about the untimely passing of former One Direction member, Liam Payne. Ronen (our TK) reposted Harry Styles' tribute on his Instagram story.

I have no words to describe how heartbroken I am right now. I woke up on Thursday (from where I am) to the news of Liam's tragic death. It was 6 AM when my cousin mentioned me in our family group chat about the news. At first, I thought it was just a hoax, but when I saw it was from a legitimate media source, my world stopped. I went to Twitter to see what was happening, and then I saw BBC and ABC News reporting about it.

I've been having emotional breakdowns on and off since yesterday. At work today, I had to take at least four bathroom breaks to calm down. And when Niall posted his tribute, I had another meltdown. Niall posting was like the final blow, confirming this wasn't just a hoax—it was real.

I started obsessing over One Direction in mid-2011. I was a high school girl who really had no interest in music. Then my classmates started fangirling over 1D. I heard their songs and was immediately hooked. Since then, I've been known as a diehard Directioner. My high school and college years were spent listening to their music. My family (even my brothers and guy cousins) know the lyrics to One Direction songs because I played them on repeat. My grandma even sang along to Night Changes and Fireproof when the Four album came out. I watched their tour film by myself in the cinema because I didn't have friends in my hometown who shared the same obsession. I cried when I couldn't attend their concert. Earlier this week, I was telling my friends that I'm still hoping for a comeback, now that I can afford concert tickets. The memories of my fangirling years just keep playing in my head.

I'm really sorry for ranting here. I'll post another #Tarlos entry sometime today when my emotions are more stable.

To all the Directioners out there, I'm sending you a virtual hug! I share the sorrow you feel. I know we've all been waiting for a reunion, but now I think the reunion will happen at Liam's funeral—definitely not the one we were hoping for.

To our Daddy Directioner, Payno,
I hope you've found peace. I just wish we could have helped you like you helped so many of us during difficult times. Your songs, your laughs, and the memories you gave us will always be engraved in our hearts. You will be missed, Liam. Rest easy now.

One Direction may have broken up nine years ago, but the band truly ended yesterday.
