There is not a single word in the English language that can describe the feeling in my chest as I write this. I have cried, I have sobbed, I have had to force air into my lungs more times than I can count in the past 72 hours.
I have scoured every news piece, every Snapchat story, every second leading up to Liam’s death and I still cannot reconcile it in my head. My heart is shattered in a way I didn’t know it could be, I have been told I didn’t even know him so why am I grieving. The funny thing is that every single One Direction fan felt like they knew him, we grew up with him, we witnessed the highs and lows, and we stood by him. Liam Payne was not a perfect t person, none of us are, but he was a human and he deserved to be able to live it.
This was supposed to be a short message and this isn’t even half of what I’ve written, maybe when it doesn’t hurt so much, when I’m not constantly walking around with a weight on my chest and an ache in my heart I’ll post the rest. For now, if you need somebody to talk to, to reach out to, somebody who simply understands your grief and won’t judge you for it, my inbox is open. Liam Payne saved so many of our lives as teenagers, let’s lean on each other once again so that we can honor his life and legacy.
Rest peacefully, Liam. We love you always
