this band has been the one constant in my life since i was 13 years old; they were my little escape, my safe space. i cannot believe that i am mourning this at only 26 years old.
I’ve been afraid to share my feelings publicly cause it terrifies me, but all I’m trying to say is at the end of the day, I am really really thankful for those early days touring with him and seeing the world the way we did was a dream come true
such a sunken heart feeling, my thoughts are with his family, partner, and the other 1D guys, and all of you. I feel at times I had a front row seat back in the day to watching Liam light up lives with his performances with the band. Gone to soon. This is just horrible
Been thinking on my times with Liam and how kind he was to me, wether backstage, passing by at an airport, he always made the time, I feel super confused by his passing and I’m finding it so hard to sum up the way it feels, such a massive loss for many.
get that tattoo, go to the memorials, listen to the songs, watch the videos, do anything you can to make you feel better or feel close to him and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for it
the fact that paul higgins; who was portrayed as the protector of the band, the father they had away from their own fathers, alongside geoff payne - both grieving the loss of liam…. it makes me sick to my stomach to think about how they must feel
Seeing all of the 1d fans logging into their old/inactive stan accounts just to pay their respects to Liam is oddly touching. One direction has an insane legacy when it comes to twitter. Those who know, know.
people are not mourning the man liam payne became, they are mourning the man he used to be and the man they grew up with. the man that was part of something that shaped millions of peoples lives.
i have been a part of the one direction community since i was 13. i am 26 now. for half of my life, they have been a vital part in my life. i am sending love to all my one direction girlies right now who, like me, are navigating the news and processing their feelings.
man. it feels so weird being in your 20s mourning a celebrity who you once grew up with. shaped your teenage hood and you made life long friends out of. at the same time not excusing who he became but also trying to grieve who he once was.
one direction gave me my bestest friends, some of my dearest memories, and changed my life. that being said - i do not condone the abuse one bit. it is weird grieving a person he has not been for a long time. i am struggling to find the words for this feeling & situation
