sending love to everyone. 
          
          the death of liam has hit me much harder than i anticipated. i'm still not sure if i'm grieving him or the situation and what it means. 
          
          i was not a fan of him since his solo activities began, and i certainly did not support the person he had become as revealed by his ex-fiance and fans (some of whom i actually knew when i was younger and meeting the boys). his death is undeniably tragic, though. the circumstances of it, and the fact that his loss will completely alter the lives of his family. 
          
          i grieve for his son, especially, and worry how this will impact him. such a young age to experience loss, but made even harder as it happens under the scrutiny of the public eye. 
          
          liam was a part of something so monumental to us - i would not have my friends without one direction, and certainly not as many happy moments. for many of us, we grow up alongside them, and without even knowing us helped us navigate our struggles and pain. it truly is a gift to have those memories to look back on, and to still cherish even as i approach my thirties. 
          
          i hope you're all doing well, and please know that your grief is very much real. there is a kind of grief called disenfranchised grief: grieving someone you do not know and do not feel like you have a right to, but still being impacted by. it's as powerful as grieving someone you do know personally. just as nuanced, just as complicated. 
          
          look after yourselves.

@ThousandYearsOfHope you articulated my thoughts perfectly. human emotions can be so complex and contradicting at times but we should show ourselves and others the grace to process them even in circumstances as complicated as this one. i hope you're doing okay, i'm thinking of you and sending you all my love!

Sending you SO much love. You articulated everything so poignantly and perfectly. I feel the same and I think the biggest thing right now for us personally, is huge self-care and to know we’re valid in however we’re feeling. I also think there’s an extra layer of us grieving FOR the boys we hold so dear to us, and the family because during the 1D Days, it was one big family and the family would constantly interact with the fans. I think that’s why the 1D fandom has always been a unique one, and whilst right now this has truly rocked us all regardless of how we felt towards him. Take care of you and I’m just sending so much love xxx
