be kind to yourselves.
there is a grief here that may belong to a younger you, a you from a different time that knew less, that found joy and refuge in the music he made and the group and community he was a part of.
we know better now, sure, of poor choices he’s made and bad things he’s done and some of that news has been angering, disappointing and disgusting. (let me add, maya does not deserve to feel the anger in your grief turned on her, let’s be better than that. she has every right to discuss her experience and should be respected and supported.)
but, i know it doesn’t lessen the grief and the shock. it can’t undo the role he played in the lives of many fans.
so be kind and feel your grief however you gotta. little 1D fan you deserves to cry about this if they need to.
