#fly high Liam

Here are some snipits about Liam from the Popbitch weekly gossip email this friday. I think we'll all love the second one.

"Our favourite story about Liam was that in his post-One Direction years he got into art, and started to do some drawing.

Word of his new hobby reached David Hockney's great-nephew, who kindly arranged for Liam to meet the man himself.

In advance of the meeting, Liam made a portrait of Hockney, and presented it to him when they did get to hang out.

Hockney was so taken with the result that he hung the portrait up in his house.

A close second favourite story? Liam and Cheryl stayed together publicly at the end of their relationship purely to piss off Dan Wootton, then Showbiz editor at The Sun, who had reported their break-up."

no one fucking helped him and that keeps just repeating in my head

With the tragedy we're all going through, and the heartbreak that was left in the wake of Liam Payne's departure, we need to open our eyes to the reality of life. Think of any person you put down in your life. You don't know their story, you don't know the hell they might've gone through. That girl you whispered about to your friend is insecure. That boy you said you hate is only a dick because that's what he was taught to be. Mental health and suicide is a serious problem, and it's arising all around us, even if we're blind to it. The struggles of ourselves and those around us are more than important, they're a matter of life or death.

Liam Payne died because of the world he was brought into. He was supplied drugs and alcohol, while being overworked and exhausted. Then, most his fans and supporters turned their backs on him without another thought when he potentially makes terrible choices. No one is defined by what they've done, and Liam never was. He was an amazing person, who deserved all the love he should've been receiving.

There's more pain than love in this world. There's more hatred than acceptance. There's more insecurity than self love. If that's true, then why do we continue to put hate out into the world? Why do we speak terribly of someone we've never met? We must learn to forgive, we must learn to be empathetic and stop putting others down. Don't judge everyone you meet blindly. Don't hate someone for their past mistakes. Don't spread hate for a celebrity just because you can. We're all humans, and we all deserve love if we're kind enough to spread it.

Rip to Liam Payne 💔💔 tbh, I didn't like him at all, but I definitely didn't know that he was suffering from mental health issues etc, now I just feel so guilty, I feel like if we see someone who is suffering from so pain, we definitely should be more easy on them ig, even though we that person has done alot of wrong things, we should criticize them, not hate on them or whatever, criticize the stuff that they do, the people who we should really hate, should be people like P Diddy for example, idk If I'm wrong for saying this but I just feel like very guilty and just mad at myself, hopefully I can learn from this and just not hate the person before knowing their struggles 💔💔💔

I woke up from a supersupersuper bad dream an hour ago. I dreamed about louis... I don't want to use that word to talk about lou cause it don't feel lucky if you always grab that kind of word around your mouth especially for him, anyway after I realized it's really just a dream, the first thing came to my mind is I reeeeeeally need to check on lou through the fucking internet. I was even ready to run out my only chance to text him on ins, wanna tell him please be happy and be safe. Then I thought it better be used as telling him I'm going when I could have any chance to see louis concert in person one day... ...

now I'm thinking Lili

what if losing liam is also a bad dream we didn't wake up from.

l came to this community way too late like ten years after this band apart. but I never regret any of it. l'm happy and lucky to meet a community tight like this. I'm still in the most euphoric stage totally loving them.

It's my hard night right before my final, as always I'd like to put on some music video at my side to went through with it. I've actually just start falling in love with ATL at that time, but I've already seen them videos for a hundred times in a too short period so I scrolled my head and thought about I haven't seen any 1D video yet. I know they are pretty popular back in the days cause I'm actually only six years old when they are hot under the spotlights, you see there's a littlelittle gap within us, so all I know about is their songs wmyb, 18, perfect, best song ever, drag me down, night changes, only these five, I have no idea about any other thing about this band but I love 18 a long time ago, I even recited all the lyrics of this song so I can sing it clearly at my high school which banned for any electric setup, kind of destiny ain't it. So I put on up all night the live tour video, my first crush in the band is Liam, the little waving he shaked when he sang on the stage got me sososososo fooking hard. Li is also the first one I searched for on ins. I'm always a shipper when I stepped into a community. When I see that tour video, I'm like Lilo & Zarry & didn't figure out what to do with niall. btw I knew nothing about larry thing back then. After my first investigation on ao3 is finished, I was like yeah I AM INTOING this community for sure. First of all, respect to every shipper on the internet. I love u all, laying on the bed and drowning in ao3 is the happiest thing for me after a day tortured by life. every night I literally mean it EVERY NIGHT even till today I only sleep after I read Ziam work for at least 30 minutes. Larry work sometimes. I am falling into Ziam community sososososohard and that's why I signed up my first tumblr wanting to find an account called doveziam to follow. I love her. She is a beautiful writer and her wonderful works and touching words pushed me further into this warm community. but I really be here way too late, that account isn't active in recent year. Luckily, I've found so many lovely writers who are also super talented.

Four months is passed, Lili, I only loved you for only four months, I checked your ins every week to see your happy time you shared with us, I totally not see the doom coming. Lili, eight years ago I lost my mother which taught me always to be grateful for what I have, but Lili, you taught me to be grateful IN TIME.

Lili, it's a nickname by Chinese fan for Liam. Don't even know Liam know it or not. there's no more opportunity to tell him that.

I ask myself

What is love even too late for mourning?

[twentyonedarklarries]

"Thanks for all you've done

I've missed you for so long

I can't believe you're gone

You still live in me

I feel you in the wind

You guide me constantly."

fly high liam 🕊️

[derangedbookworm]

at this point, i give up on happiness

[bakeinthesun]

I am angry.

Angry at the people in the 1D Fandom circles (who do not deserve to be called fans) who refused to see beyond the surface.

Angry at the non Fandom related people for jumping on the hate train as always.

Angry at the media for not having an ounce of integrity.

Angry at the music industry for reasons I don't need to explain to anyone.

Angry at the people around Liam.

Angry at life for being so unfair.

Am angry at myself.

For being selfish at this moment. For mourning my life as I know it. For mourning the end of One Direction and not only Liam. For mourning the happy memories that will never be happy again. For mourning my loss. For wanting this all to be a bad dream, a nightmare.

I am devestated.

”Four on stage, five in our hearts” Has a new meaning now….

[louisisalarrie]

I agree with you when you say that they must be furious about a lot of stuff that’s happened. I go from being desperately sad about Liam to being completely over all the nonsense that they’ve all had to put up with over the years. I know we joke about all the lies that 1D told or were a part of, but life’s too short, right?

Exactly. All this bullshit of closeting and stunts etc. is so stupid because life is far too short, and far too fragile. I hope this is a massive wake up call to the industry, and also to all people who were a part of the 1d team, that this shit is just not fucking worth it. Let them live and be free and Christ don’t do this for the sake of promo and money. It’s exhausting.

Another bunch of memes made by me. Based on real events

I cannot believe he is gone.

One direction was the ones that saved me in my worst time and one of them is already gone. He did not deserve anything that happened to him. Even tho he did some things that were wrong he was just human. He did not deserve such hate. Rn all I hope is that he is at peace and finally free of his troubles. Fly High payno. I love you. You will always be loved. The worst part is that he died thinking everyone hates him and the world is against him. We will never hear a new song from him. No more ig stories, no snaps. It's so lonely without him . It's like a part of me died with him. This has also created a fear of the other members dying. I cannot handle it. Given what they mean to me I cannot handle this and idk how I'll deal with it when it's everyone that's gone irrespective of my age. Rn I'm 16 and it's so hard to move on with life after Liam. I was not ready for this. I will never be ready for this. I love you Liam and I love you one direction I love you Niall I love you Zayn I love you Harry I love you Louis. Thankyou so much for all you all have done for me... Fly high payno. I love you, we love you,I will always love you.
