I'm never really on here anymore but, given everything, I wanted to just come on and post quickly... And I'm sorry if it's kind of all over the place; it's hard to really put into words how I'm feeling about it.
I feel absolutely heartbroken over hearing about Liam's death. As silly as it may sound, since i was just a fan, it's devastating and hits harder than other celebrity deaths have in the past. One Direction is still so important to me and will forever hold such a special place in my heart. And while I was a Zayn girl in the later years, I was initially a Liam girl when i first joined the fandom in early 2012. I will never forget the excitement I had when i spent the night at a mall with my two best friends, waiting in line to get their first CD and passes to get it autographed by them. Liam and the boys truly helped me when i felt alone or depressed or su*c*dal, and helped to distract me from so much negativity in my life.
I feel in shock and, again, heartbroken by this news, as I'm sure the rest of the fandom does. And i know my feelings pale in comparison to his family, friends, and the boys. My heart goes out to them, especially Bear, and I truly hope they can all heal from this as best as they can.
Thank you for the years of happiness and safety you brought to me. Thank you for the music. Thank you for the all of the videos, memes, jokes, and content overall throughout the years. Thank you for getting me through high school and beyond. Thank you for everything, Liam. I know the last few years were not easy on you but i hope now you are at peace. Fly high.
