Driving to work today I was stopped behind a bus with kids waving out the back so natural I waved back made some new friends... but then 2 girls start dabbing and I hit them back with my classic dab; they nearly lost their shit
They were four.
Zayn was already gone.
And still, that stage was heavy with history, with silences that spoke louder than words, with hugs trying to hold onto what was already slipping away.
Back then, none of us could have imagined that ten years later
Liam would no longer be on this plane of life.
That absence changes everything.
Every look, every gesture, every farewell we didn’t know how to read at the time.
What began as a hiatus — a pause carefully named —
slowly became, with time, the definitive end.
Not abrupt.
Not clearly announced.
But real.
And maybe that’s why it hurts differently.
Because it wasn’t a clear goodbye, but one built in layers:
one leaving,
then all of them pausing,
the years passing,
and now, the irreversible absence of one of them.
Today, watching that last performance isn’t just nostalgia.
It’s grief, gratitude, and enduring love.
It’s understanding that some things don’t return,
but they never truly leave either.
Because One Direction didn’t end only on a stage.
It ended with time.
And Liam… remains forever in the story, in the songs,
and in that collective embrace that still holds us.

Just frustrated over the whole election process. Anyone know why he was put on the ballot in the first place? Why did the democrats not hold a primary election? Can we start again?
Hey Mike, I have been a huge fan since 2005 (your song Home was in the movie Wedding Date) what are the odds you would come to my wedding in May 2025 in Philly? My fiancé and I’s first concert together was yours. LMK 💕@MichaelBuble
I don’t know if I’m demented but I really think the Pats could have done some damage if they got in. They didn’t deserve to get in but they could have been sneaky dangerous. I honestly believe that. That makes me sad. Oh well. I’m just gonna go look for manatees. #Patriots
@GregAbbott_TX mass shootings are not due to mental health issues, it’s this country’s lack of gun control and regulations. No one should have access to assault rifles. Don’t get it twisted. #GunControlNow
