“I may be in a better place now, but I will never forget what it feels like to be exhausted no matter how much you sleep; to have a panic attack in the middle of the night; to be crushed by the weight of your own and others’ expectations. To, quite bluntly, hate yourself.”

Emily Burch, “A Letter From a Therapist: I Struggle Too”
“I wasn’t going to just power through it; I wasn’t going to suppress my pain. I could grieve and still be happy at the same time. I could honor my emotions… I could acknowledge my feelings and hold space without giving in to the guilt or urge to suppress.”
— Brittney Laurel, “Grief: I’m Done Powering Through It”

“It’s not about having your life ‘put together’ before it can be shared. Nor is it about distilling your story into a brief synopsis, because you should be unabridged, covered in footnotes and cross-referenced by your greatest fans. You do not need to be complete or polished in order to be known.”
— Chad Moses, “Here. Now. In Good Company.” (via twloha)

I wouldn’t say I feel old, but rather, that I feel burdened. The things of this world weigh heavily on me, pushing me further into a chaos I don’t understand and cannot control.
“For me, being isolated was the scariest thing. The days I felt most depressed and suicidal were only enhanced when I isolated myself; when I decided that no one wanted to hang out with me or loved me. Those days were the worst. Those are the days it was hard to go on. But I promise you, those thoughts of people not loving you or wanting to be with you are a lie.”

Major sleep pattern changes, vanished appetite, social withdrawal, loss of interest…I was checking all the boxes that would identify someone with depression on a clinical Mental Status Examination. Yet, I insisted—to others, sure, but most vehemently to myself—that I wasn’t depressed. ‘I need a break. I’m just…tired.’

I've still barely begun to understand what's happened. My brain refuses to properly process anything so I've stayed stuck in this vicious cycle of grief. So far, the only coping mechanism that's been working is poorly made art. A sorry attempt to put what I feel inside onto paper the way Jonghyun did. Jonghyun, you are missed, and you are loved. #Forever5
A Letter to Jonghyun
Dear Jonghyun,
I am still at a loss for words, though I have tried so hard to compose this letter.
How does one grieve for someone that they do not know? That was my first thought when I saw the news about your death. How do I grieve for you? How can I when I feel that I have no right to? I felt like I knew you; in some way. Even though I thought I had, I obviously didn't.
I know that there are thousands of people grieving for you all across the globe. Even though I am one of those people, I feel that my grief is insufficient for what I'm feeling inside. Today, I put on a smile and am pretending that I'm not hurting right now. I don't know what else to do other than pretend right now. But isn't that what you were doing too? If you hadn't been, wouldn't I have seen this coming? Wouldn't I have tried harder to support you and to remind you of your worth and importance in this world? Wouldn't we all have?
You were one of the first Korean idols that I ever liked. I remember being drawn in by the colorful costumes, the happy songs, and that charming smile. I remembering watching video after video of you dancing your way across stages at concerts I knew I'd never be able to attend. I was awed by your natural elegance and subtle charisma.
You were engrained in my mind as someone to look up to; someone to aspire to be. You were professional, you were talented, you were funny, and you were kind. You were a constant reminder that the pain and struggles of a budding career could be turned into reminders of what it can take to reach success. But that wasn't enough for you. I think everyone knew you longed for something more, something to a higher degree. Something that surpassed and wasn't defined by success: you longed for happiness.
I feel in some way that I have failed you. I know how it feels to be surrounded by love but still feel utterly alone in your pain. I know. If I had tried harder to support you in the small ways that I could, would it have helped? I don't know. Maybe it wouldn't have.
In parting, all I can say is that your physical absence does not mean you are no longer a part of SHINee. Nor does it mean you will ever be forgotten. You will forever be a part of SHINee. You will forever be a part of my life, and you are missed. But I truly hope that you are now at peace. You are loved.
Love always,
Your Fan
We need to support those who struggle, whatever their struggles might involve. If we can put loving people first, and asking questions second, I would argue that we could change lives. After all: Love is still the most powerful force on the planet.
