written with all the love in my heart to one direction, the people they brought to me who know what this all feels like without me having to say it, and the music that taught me to say goodbye i consider them all to be the greatest loves of my life 🔗: rollingstone.com/music/music…

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.

we need to have so many conversations about journalism ethics for younger generations but starting with why not to run photos of someone who died

we can hold space for many different things today: - grieving the loss of Liam Payne - thinking of his loved ones and their unimaginable heartbreak - grieving our younger selves in the peak 1D days - thinking of Maya Henry and other victims (and not holding her responsible)

(cont.) - letting Harry, Louis, Zayn & Niall come to terms with their own grief and not expecting statements right away - checking in on the fans in your life, and not dismissing their sorrow - grieving the loss of what could have been for the future look after each other ❤️‍🩹

i can’t believe it even needs to be said but it is okay to grieve liam. it is okay to be sad. it is okay to mourn who one direction were to you and what this loss means for what we thought we could get back. doing so is not condoning anything. grief is allowed to be complicated.

like this isnt just the loss of liam payne, this is the loss of one direction like it will never be the same again nothing will ever be the same again
