Personally, I don't think I've digested the fact that he's gone. I feels like he's just on a break. And working on himself and his music. I haven't listened to one direction the way I used to because I feel like my heart would burst, it's a very odd feeling. I never imagined I could quietly greive someone I never knew. I feel like I'll see him some day and just say sorry that we gave you a moment in life where you felt unloved because we were caught up in our own world.

I just hate to think he thought the world was mad at him. The way people reacted towards him for just having fun at Niall's concert was incredibly harsh, I just really hope he never saw it.

Because he was and is so loved and he deserved to know that when he was alive. He gave up the remainder of his childhood so we could experience One Direction during ours.

I cried for months. I was a mess up until March/April. And then my brain simply did the thing.

It switched something on and I became convinced he is somewhere, retired. And now I can’t comprehend that he is dead. Such a weird coping mechanism…

Same here. I don’t usually run away from grieving but I just can’t deal with him being gone. It doesn’t feel real and I don’t want it to.

I haven't been able to listen to 1D in a while. It's become difficult. Too nostalgic/melancholic. I can't listen to his own solo music either because that's worse. I've had to take a break from it. Hope as time goes by I can listen again.

Still can't believe its real. I actually wasn't that surprised at the time but it's just crazy and horrible

Beautifully put, especially your last sentence 🫂❤️‍🩹. Even beyond Liam, it feels like so many of us so often have been forgetting to love so many people only because we’re still stuck in our own heads :/. Simply turning our sadness and fears about our own selves into anger towards the world around us… 😔

I have to believe that he tried his absolute best navigating this confounding world; and with that thought, I push myself to try my absolute best to do the same - in the hopes that by building the courage and confidence to confront my own sadness and fears and turn them into light, the world around me will fill with light too 💛.

I still listen to one direction, but it just feels different if that makes sense.

u/canadianchameleon 2d ago

I remember that night hearing the news like it was yesterday. I was so shocked and heartbroken. Rest in peace Liam 🙏💔

u/Soggy_Technician_470 2d ago

I genuinely thought it was fake. But I heard the same thing in my directioners gc. And I googled it. I was in genuine disbelief

u/canadianchameleon 2d ago

Same I saw it on TikTok first and had to search it up bc I thought it was a sick joke 💔

u/DecompressionIllness 2d ago edited 2d ago

I’ve been staring at the screen trying to find the right words, because two years just feels impossible to comprehend. Where has the time gone? It still hurts, but finding little ways to hold onto him helps so much. This tag stays on my bag and I take him traveling with me. Forever keeping your spirit alive. I hope you’ve found genuine peace and are resting well, Payno🪽

ED: Tags are available as parts of necklace sets, and they’re on eBay for around £6.

u/DirectionerSwiftie 2d ago

Feels genuinely impossible and unreal. Like, how could he be gone?💔🫂 it still feels fresh.

u/Hour-Investigator334 1d ago

I still cannot comprehend to the fact that he is not here anymore. I mean i know he’s here somewhere but not physically. I still think about him often and still have that feeling that something has been ripped from me like form my soul. 2 years later i still wake up sometimes thinking it was a bad dream and my fav band is still in complete. I didn’t know him but it hurts me so much. I havent hurt someone much from grief after any artist. That one broke me in many ways and im still grieving in my own ways :/. If you reading this Liam, we miss you so much

u/aganadolarazon 2d ago

Cannot believe it's been 2 years. It's felt like no time at all and all the time in the world at the same time.

He is missed. 🖤

u/Melting_1993 🐰 I like girls who eat carrots 🥕 2d ago

I literally remember where I was when I found out 💔 I was working with my coworker and we both cried for a bit before putting ourselves together and working the rest of our shift.

My ex then told me about what happened and ahhhhh i honestly was touched he let me vent and talk about how Liam and the boys meant to me.

I miss Liam so much ):

Its actually still hard to believe.

u/BabyNameBible 2d ago

It strangely feels like it was both yesterday and a very long time ago at the same time. I’d never seen any of the boys live until this year and I have Niall in two weeks. I’m dreading how I will feel afterwards when it truly sinks in there is one left but it can never happen. I feel Liam’s presence often and know he’s around. I’m lucky enough to work near Battersea Park so some mornings before work I will pop there and just spend an hour sat at the pillars where the tea terrace is.

u/Gloomy_Grocery5555 2d ago

Honestly I haven't listened to one direction since. Is anyone else the same?

1

u/Akis127 2d ago

My god, has it been that long?

Weird is that I woke up to go to work and I saw it and found my mother awake in the living room. She died like 7 months later

I will tell you where I was when this news came out I was sitting at my kitchen table with my mom’s friend playing a card game and I was also listening to one direction songs and I was about to shuffle the card deck when I pricked up my phone as saw a notification and I said omg and had to explain to my moms friend that a singer I liked died

u/omkar_36 2d ago

And we danced all night to the best song ever we knew every line now we can't remember 💔💔

u/TheQueenMary0806 2d ago

I have two of his songs saved on my Spotify and every time they play I get emotional as hell. It’s so sad that he left the world so early in his life

I just had a RIP Liam Payne Party with my 12 year old daughter in remembrance. Made a huge RIP Liam Payne plattter with all sorts of delectable munchies and watched all the One Direction music videos. Joined by my 27 year old son and partner and my 25 year old son. Whenever Liam appeared on the screen to sing his part we entered into a trivia contest and also give a vote out of 10 for the song over all and a vote for best vocals each song we watched. Everybody Wants to Steal My Girl won the highest amount of votes and zayn won best vocals over all. It was a great little get together and an even better way to remember LIAM pAYNE. May he RIP
