One Direction Update
3/25/15 7:00 PM EDT
Hey everyone. I
don't really know how to start this update. The boys did have
a concert tonight but I think that really isn't the main
focus of what's going on right now.
As I'm sure you've all heard, Zayn has officially left
the band. I think this was a shock to us all. I don't think
any of us thought that him needing a break would lead to this.
But the truth is, that it happened. I've got tons of things
to say. First off to Zayn, everything you have done in this band
was much appreciated and loved. You will always be a member of 1D
even though you aren't officially in the group. We love you
so much more than you could ever imagine. And to all of you guys
who faithly read this. I am NOT stopping updates. When I chose to
support this band I chose to stay with them until the bitter end.
The other four boys are continuing on and so am I. It's okay
to feel sad and I think we all need our time to mourn over this
in our own ways. I am so grateful I was able to enjoy Zayn being
in the group for the 3 years I've known about them. To any of
you who have never seen the boys live, I am so sorry that
you'll never get the chance to see Zayn. If I could have
shared my experiences with each one of you, I would have gladly
done it. I know one of you has met Zayn. You are so so lucky to
have that experience! This band has brought so much love and
kindness and hope to everyone they've touched. I can't
imagine what it would be like without them. I know that One
Direction will never be the same without Zayn. I REFUSE to call
it 4/4 because there are FIVE members and that will never change.
This band is special to each and every one of us for different
reasons. I have met so many amazing people that I would have
never met without them. That includes my best friend and
wonderful co updater Katie. Without this band we would have never
met. There's still so many things that I'm feeling right
now but I really can't put any of it into words. So all I
have to say is that One Direction, is still here. No, it
isn't the One Direction we know but Louis, Harry, Liam and
Niall are continuing on under that name. And even though it may
be hard to continue with the group incomplete, we still need to
make sure that we continue to support the other boys. Don't
give up on them because they are still here and still trying.
They all care about Zayn too and need our support. I hope you all
feel better soon. Stay strong!
I'm not posting any concert links today because I just
don't feel like now is the right time for that kind of stuff.
I'll post a few things though including the official
statement. Feel free to make any comments or ask any questions or
just leave a fond memory about Zayn or experience you have had!
Remember, he didn't die! He left the group for his own health
and we should be happy about that!
