honestly the Harry hate all needs to stop we already know he pushed for the hiatus early. Zayn said it, Harry said it in rolling stone in 2017. This isn’t new information.
and honestly I applaud him for first of all being brave enough to suggest a hiatus or a break or even the break up. The boys needed it and I don’t think anyone else was willing to say so. Second of all he did it in such a respectful way (idk if that’s the right word) but the boys signed contracts. I heard from someone on tiktok that the first contract was a 2 album deal and the 2nd was a 3 album deal. He stuck to the contract. He stayed for all 3 albums, the press tour and the rest of the otra tour. I think that says a lot about his character.
maybe he could have said that he didn’t intend on coming back. Maybe he didn’t know that at the time until he actually spent some time away from the band.
and that’s the other thing that must have been the most terrifying thing in the world. To have been put in a band at 16 when you know nothing about the world and in particular fame and how the fame world works and the industry and it’s an incredibly isolating industry as well mind you. But to be put in a band at 16 with 4 other boys who are experiencing the exact same things as you for the first time. It becomes your main support system because they understand. I feel like I can’t stress that but enough. But those 5 boys are the only people in the world that understand exactly what they went through.
so to have to leave that support system at 21!!! Most people aren’t even done university at that age. It’s so incredibly young. It’s terrifying and yes they all left home at 16 but they had each other. Now it’s on your own.
and to go from instantaneous worldwide success to betting on yourself. That YOU can make music on your own good enough for people to listen to. That YOU are enough to bring a crowd to a stadium and entertain them for 2 hours when you had 4 others to bounce off for 5 years. It’s terrifying and it’s a hell of a bet to make.
I don’t blame him for not saying the hiatus would be forever. Maybe he was in denial about it at first. Maybe he thought 1d would be something to fall back on if it didn’t work out as I’m sure all the boys have thought at one point or another. Or maybe he wasn’t ready to actually let it go.
because (and Harry has literally said this) they were 5 of the best years of his life and despite everything going around, he has never had a bad interaction that I’ve seen when people bring up 1d post the break up. He gets excited. Admits to listening to their old music, wears their merch and thanks the other boys in his award speeches.
so maybe he could’ve been honest but maybe it’s a lot more complicated than that and I don’t think people should be commenting on things we actually still don’t know all that much about.
