liam payne was a part of my childhood, 1D songs were and are still my way to escape and get lost in my childhood nostalgia. so liam payne passing makes this feel really strange, it’s like a part of my childhood is now somehow tainted. this is why it’s shocking to me.
idk when u idolize a band at a young age they feel untouchable and immortal in a way. like it feels so insane to think someone who was a part of smth as big as 1d can be gone just like that
