harry once said that theyll always have a special bond because theyre the ONLY 5 PEOPLE in the world who know what its like to go through what they went through and the fact that one of them is gone is genuinely heartbreaking.
and i just keep thinking about bear and liam's family. i keep thinking about the other members. they lost a brother & one of the five of them who could relate to their otherworldly fame and career. someone they grew up with.
grief for someone who unknowingly used to play such a big part in your life is so weird to navigate. grief for someone who was a part of something that shaped ur childhood is weird. one direction led to me meeting some of the greatest people in my life. it is so. weird.
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.
