Goodbye, Jonghyun
An angel isn’t the being of light that religious images tend to show us. An angel isn’t an intangible or unattainable being.
Angels are humans… And as humans that they can be hurt too, and such in an easy way! We are weak even though if we want to fight.
How many times didn’t we fall in a deep hole? In a place where we didn’t find an escape? Many of us have been there, in that place where our vision gets lost. There, where we can’t even see ourselves.
And it's even more hurting when an angel gets there.
What can be done with a pair of wings that can’t fly anymore? Does the angel stay chained or does he detach to being set free?
Pain attacks, destroys. It wants to get rid of the being of light. But he doesn’t stop fighting, because he does. With all his strength, he does. And here's where life whispers to him: “no more”. And he stops.
It wasn’t the right way out. It was far away in another place where, sadly, the angel couldn’t see because of the limitless darkness.
Poor eyes filled by nobility and love! They were blinded by a world, an unfair world that doesn’t know how to understand reality; a world, that merciless, doesn’t stop judging.
It ended the angel, and a thousand more.
A man, full of value. Such a treasure, a gemstone. A beautiful charm, that won’t stop shining in our hearts.
Jonghyun, with your life you lighten us a path. Your talents, your personality, your charms… All is virtue. You are the greatest shine that ignites our hearts, that teaches us lots of things.
Your legacy will last forever. Your family, your friends, your fans, every person that knew you and appreciate your wonderful work. It stills, with us, forever…
We will keep that precious image of you. That image of a handsome boy that gave everything for his group, for his fans. Such an angelical image.
There’s nothing left to say. You did well, and I could repeat it to you a million times again.
And we might remember that sooner or later angels must come back home.
Rest in peace...
A year ago the word found out a painful notice, a heartbreaking notice. It was a worldwide incident. Something that left a mark and said a lot.
Jonghyun’s death wasn’t something taken loosely, and it must not be. We are talking about a sorrowful event.
How many things has he suffered to get to that point?
Sometimes life is unfair, and even more the world. So many times we didn’t know how to behave and we end up harming someone.
Depression and suicide are sad realities that we have to face daily, and something we have considered as an ‘alternative’ in a determined moment of our lives when we were passing through difficult times.
But it wasn't to be in that way. There’s always a right way out, a lighten path where we CAN see. Everything is about being heard, about open our hearts fearless with those who are willing to help us.
Today, Team Panda joins this mourning. We are hurt by the death of such an amazing human being as Jonghyun. We are touched seeing how well he did. He did everything well.
… And as the same way, we wanted to be open for you, to let everyone who needs a friend, someone to hear them, someone to look for help with, we will be for you all.
Whenever you feel breathless or repressed don’t doubt in messaging us. We are a community and we have to take care of each other. We all are the main characters of this world and our scene can’t be ending early because of a bad moment in our whole act.
Kim Jonghyun, you are an angel. An angel that always did well.
Rest in peace.
(1990-2017)
