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.
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
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.
