back in 2014/5, i found shinee. their music made me want to dance along and they were one of the groups that introduced me into the community that i’ve been a part of ever since. and even if you don’t listen to them that much, or don’t consider yourself a fan, shinee are a group that stick with you.
but this post isn’t about shinee, or any other group. this is about jonghyun.
he always brought brightness to us all, always helped a lot of people when they felt down. he lifted spirits of so many people i’m close to, and i have a lot of memories with him in that make me smile. he showed love to the lgbt+ community, and helped raise awareness for mental health. he was amazing. and it feels so wrong for him to be gone.
please know that, if any of you ever need to talk or feel low, i am always here. 24/7.
thank you for everything jonghyun. you were amazing, so amazing. we will always remember you.
rest in peace.
