This genre of Louis photo will always make me happy

I loved One Direction and will continue to have love for One Direction until the day I die— it was just that deep. Each one of those boys held a special place in my heart at different times in my life when I needed them most. The absolute joy they brought to me and to so many others is immeasurable; as is the pain and sorrow I now feel to know that Liam is gone. In such a horrific way. Far too soon. I am heartbroken at the thought of his death… of his final moments. At the thought of his family’s pain. Of Bear’s. Of the boy’s. It may seem silly to some to be deeply affected by the death of a celebrity, but I know if you are reading this you will understand. It is a gift to care so deeply that you can love someone you have never met; and in turn grieve for them as well. I do not know what comes after life, but I hope that Liam is at peace. That this outpouring of love for him can somehow be felt. This is an immense tragedy. I still cannot believe it is real.
Rest in peace, Liam Payne 💔🕊️
It’s taken me almost two weeks to write this. I’m utterly heartbroken. My heart is shattered. I kept waiting for the initial shock and heartache to go away, but I don’t think it ever really will. Liam, where do I even begin. You were everything. Your smile, the way it would go all the way to your eyes. Your laugh. Your heart. Your voice. You. It’s all just memories now. I’m struggling to accept the fact that one of you are gone, and even more with the fact that it’s you. You were so much more than this place. You never deserved the hurt that came with. And yet, you seemed to get hurt the most. I wish more than anything that you could have gotten the help that you needed. The boys are devastated. Kate is devastated. Everyone is devastated. Thank you Liam. Thank you for everything. You’re the sunlight Payno. I Hope that wherever your beautiful soul may be resting, that it’s full of peace and happiness. I hope you sleep so well my Angel. We’re half a heart without you. And remember this is not the end, we’ll see your face again. I love you forever Liam. Bear will grow up hearing how amazing his daddy was. In this universe, in the next, and forever, I love you.
Liam James Payne🕊️🤍

I adored this look 😍Cuddly teddy bear Liam ♥️🐻
Liam talking about Bear
Thinking a lot about what Cheryl (the mother of Liam’s child) said about how one day, Bear is going to grow up and he is going to find all this information out and possibly stumble across pictures of his deceased father on the internet is just so inhumane and my heart breaks for that little boy.
I hope when Bear grows up - he doesn’t look into the news articles and paparazzi around his fathers death, but is able to see how many people from around the world came together to mourn. How fans gathered together to pay their respects and tribute Liam. How we all showed our appreciation and love for the role his father played in our lives for being in the band. How so many people shedded real tears and have a real hole in their heart because of his death.
Bear is only 7 and it’s crazy to think how the fans since the one direction days were able to love his father and got to know his father longer than his own son ever will. My heart breaks for that boy and I can only hope once he is older she is able to see that our love for his father also extends to him.
Liam was truly a one of a kind. I believe Liam was so kindhearted and wore his heart on his sleeve and the world just battered it. Liam died of a broken heart. He was always the most underrated even though he carried so much. He did his best to cope and be strong but the demons closed in. It is no one’s power to be able to save you from yourself but the world truly was unkind and I hope he had someone to let him know he never needed to be anyone other than Liam. Liam made some mistakes but he was not a mistake. I pray his son is surrounded for the rest of his life by people who truly loved and knew his dad and not what the world said he was. More prayers for his family, his parents, his loved ones, all those he touched and the people who knew him better than us Zayn, Louis, Niall and Harry.
I haven't touched this blog in beyond forever, but I need to put this down and get it out of my head.
Dear Bear,
For the last few days, I find my thoughts keep drifting to you. As a 1D fan who has a little boy of her own now, my heart breaks the most for you. I'm so sorry you lost your dad.
While I didn't know your father personally, I know for a fact how deeply he loved you. You were the single greatest part of his life. No amount of fame, fortune, or awards ever came anywhere close to the all-encompassing pride he felt about you. When you were born, his whole world shifted in the best way. When he spoke about you in videos and interviews, I could see his devotion in his eyes.
Your dad, at his core, was compassionate and wanted to bring light to people. The mind is a complicated place. No one is perfect, and your dad stumbled and fell short at times. We all do. I wish he'd had more time in this life to mend bridges with those he wanted or needed to. The very best parts of him will live on in you.
I'm sorry you won't get to have your dad there for life's milestones. I'm sorry you only got 7 years with him. No amount of time with you would have ever been enough for your father. I firmly believe he will always be with you, watching over you proudly. I hope your family is able to keep his memory alive for you. I hope your grandparents and aunts tell you all about your dad when he was your age. When you're old enough, I hope the other boys share stories of all the tour antics your dad got in to. I know your mother loves you immensely and wishes she could keep this pain from you. Lean on her when the grief hits you. Ask her to tell you about him.
Bear, never doubt how much your dad adored you. Never doubt that he would do anything for you. Live your life to the fullest. Find peace and happiness. Your dad was and will always be proud of you.
I'm hugging my son a bit closer, hoping some of that hug finds its way to you. I'm sending love and prayers to you, now and always.
Love,
A Directioner Mom
I feel like Liam wasn’t ready to go, but he also couldn’t take it anymore.
The drugs were meant to turn everything off and to stop feeling the pain he was feeling, but not to end it.
He was interacting with fans hours prior.
He kept coming down to the lobby, like he needed help, but they kept putting him back in his room.
He sat in the lobby, on his laptop, and they took him back to his room, WITH the balcony.
He was hurting. He felt broken.
Nobody saved him and that’s a tragedy.
He had more to do. A son to raise. A life to turn around.
Don’t be a bully. Don’t drag people down because they are famous and their faults are smeared across the internet. He was a PERSON. A mostly decent human being. He had faults, just like you and me, but they were constantly rubbed in his face.
He deserved better.
He deserved help.
He deserved to go out at an old age feeling loved and appreciated and secure, surrounded by family and friends.
Nobody deserves to go out like he did, feeling alone and hated.
He was so so loved by so so many.
The few that made him feel otherwise are part of the problem.
Bear, sweetie, I am so sorry you lost your daddy. I’m sorry the world was such a cruel place for him. I’m sorry we weren’t able to save him like he saved us. I pray that your aunts and uncles raise you well. I pray Louis tells you the best stories about your daddy, Zayn talks to you about how much your daddy took care of everyone, Niall gives you the best cuddles and comforts you, and Harry shows you all the things your daddy taught him and they all love you like their own.
zayn saved the band by leaving.
let's be honest. he took the hit when he left. he lost so many of his fans then. but you know what he did?
he showed the boys that there was life after one direction.
he showed them that the hell they were enduring was escapable. that they could make it out and still sing and write songs and be happy.
if they'd really been as happy as they seemed to us, they would've come back after the hiatus. they promised us 18 months. its been 9 years.
im sure they loved us with all their hearts. that they enjoyed their time together as a band, as brothers. however, they were exploited and taken advantage of every step of the way.
now, liam's passing is the fucking culmination of the hell they endured. you can't argue with me that the liam of 2011 was SO SO FULL OF LIFE. he had so much promise. you just knew this boy was gonna go places.
but somehow, along the way, his light dimmed. that wasn't the liam we knew. we all subconsiously could see it. that liam hurt so much that he hurt a lot of people. that liam could've done better. that liam should've been given the chance to make amends.
but the young boy that was so full of life, he didnt deserve any of this. he deserved to have been kept safe and away from the shit that could destroy him.
the boys should have been protected and maybe, just maybe, we wouldn't have to endure this devastating loss. maybe, just maybe, liam would still be alive.
i'd take an unending hiatus over this loss any day.
it’s not the end, I’ll see your face again
Group photo of hearts!! Miss them
"Its possible to acknowledge he's a bad person and be saddened by-" dude he's dead. He died violently and suddenly and it was probably awful the entire time. A guy died. Stop turning everything into how you have the morally superior take. A guy DIED in a TERRIBLE way. Now is not the fucking time to go "erm acshtually he did xyz" or disclaimer everything with how you Don't Support Him. You don't need to say that about someone who just died in a violent and painful way. You don't need to turn someone's death into that. The guy has friends and family who can see that shit, be quiet if you can't keep that to yourself.
Besides, he was only 31. If you think someone is finished cooking at 31 you have a big storm coming. You don't know the kind of person he would've become if he had the chance to actually live his life instead of just the beginning of it.
Don't turn someone's DEATH into how your opinion of him is the most morally pure one on the internet. He wasn't a war criminal, he was a boy band member who got internationally mega-famous when he could barely even legally drink
MY HEART
Very important history.
Early one direction was fantastic. NO stage presence. No dance moves. They’d just be up on stage like awkwardly bopping around and shoving each other and like fucking giving eachother smooches on the cheek. There was one show where Harry styles got pantsed during his solo??? They were the boyband that NEVER wanted to or intended to be in a boyband! They were totally in it for the fame and the money, but they became BROS !!!! They were FRIENDS!! And that’s the true beauty, the friends we made along the way!
