louist91: I am beyond devastated to be writing this but yesterday I lost a brother. Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul.

I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18, I was instantly amazed by his voice but more importantly as time went on I got a chance to see the kind brother l'd longed all my life for.

Liam was an incredible song writer with a great sense of melody, we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band.

And for the record, Liam was in my opinion the most vital part of One Direction. His experience from a young age, his perfect pitch, his stage presence, his gift for writing. The list goes on. Thank you for shaping us Liam.

A message to you Liam if you're listening,

I feel beyond lucky to have had you in my life but I'm really struggling with the idea of saying goodbye. I'm so grateful that we got even closer since the band, speaking on the phone for hours, reminiscing about all the thousands of amazing memories we had together is a luxury I thought l'd have with you for life. I would have loved to share the stage with you again but it wasn't to be.

I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was.

I wish I got chance to say goodbye and tell you one more time how much I loved you.

Payno, my boy, one of my best friends, my brother, I love you mate. Sleep well X

it's crazy to think that memories you've had for years will just never look or feel the same again. all those memories from 2012 when i first got into 1D, all the concerts, all the songs and the first time hearing those songs, the first time watching music videos, the posts and memes here on tumblr... like none of it will ever feel the same. it'll always be tinged by loss and a degree of emptiness from here on out.

i think like. we knew them when they were so young. and even as we’ve watched them grow up and reveal more of themselves and make mistakes and prove themselves fallible the way we didn’t see as starry eyed young fans. it’s really hard because there’s a facet of me that has immortalized them in my mind as the 15/17/18 year olds on the stairs on a tv show. really young faces and big dreams you know. and it’s like. now one of them is dead? he lived to be a really troubled man and now he’s dead? but i was just listening to him sing to me about first love

regardless of anything else, so much of my late teens/early twenties were devoted to that band and I met so many people that I love so much and hold so incredibly dear to me to this day because of being in that fandom. countless memories were made at 1D shows and waiting for their albums to drop each fall and celebrating with everyone online. sending love to all of you, friends. life is short and fragile and weird. 🩷

ppl can grieve who he was while he was in the band while simultaneously understanding and supporting a victim of his.

it’s mourning the memories and emotions not the person he was behind closed doors.

25 year old me did not think this is the reason I would be on tumblr again. he was just a boy.

We were all meant to be in our 80s when this moment was meant to happen.

Fucking broken rn

to my friends who I am still in contact with, those who I lost contact with, those who were still around and those who, like me, have emerged from the woodwork due to tragedy - I love you I see you I’m thinking of you

Regardless, celebrity deaths hurt and are strange and hard to navigate. You didn’t know them. They didn’t know you. But they impacted your life or touched you with their art in some fashion. And grieving over them doesn’t make you weird or strange. Humans are complex and our emotions are multilayered. Just be kind to yourselves.

Hi guys, wow i didnt expect the reason my now 25 year old self would be relogging into this account would be for such reasons…

my heart is absolutely shredded. I feel so much for Maya, Liam’s family and friends. For the boys who i know are even more confused than we are

i just cannot even put into words what im feeling right now. Like i’m so shocked? Like this is not real. This did not happen.
