That Rare Diamond Hard To Pass By

A Farewell

good morning, jonghyun-ah *my place already passed 12 a.m* hehehe how are you doing up there? are you still looking at us? you might be, right? or probably you're sticking with your brothers. I don't know, I don't know.
jonghyun-ah. to be honest, I don't keep up on you for these past months. I was too busy to keep up of any groups, I also had forgotten you. but I still listened to your song released on my birthday, 16 September 2015, End Of A Day. I still have it till the end, I guess hmmm.
I really liked that song, jonghyun-ah. I loved it.
you've been gone for 5 days now. I still find it hard to believe actually. I can't believe it, that on the evening I was laughing so hard with my friends, suddenly your song showed up in my playlist after being almost forgotten, it was the same evening you decided to leave. I don't know what to feel at that time. just speechless.
I had my class for the whole week, I restrained myself from reading any articles or watching any videos, because I was afraid, that I cried until I'm exhausted. I don't want people to see how much the news have affected me, since I wasn't your true fan to begin with. but from the moment I knew shinee since I was little, I know that you're that rare diamond hard to pass by.
but yet again, shinee is everyone's favourite, and you, leaving us, was really, speechless.
so yesterday I went home for Christmas, eagerly waiting for midnight, to open everything that I've saved before. and I let myself cry until my tears dried out. I really cried like a baby, hahaa. I never cried like that.
I cried so hard so that today and tomorrow and the next day, whenever I see any videos of you, I won't have to cry anymore. I'll just smile for you.
jonghyun-ah, I don't cry anymore. I won't cry anymore. you would want us to feel happy, right? that's why you made those songs. you want us to be happy, you don't want us to feel the darkness.
I'm sad but at the same time, I'm happy.
you really work so hard, even in afterlife, jonghyun-ah.
I'll write to you someday, somewhere, no, everyday if I have too, to let you know that I am happy, everyone's happy too. but I don't think.you would read it, won't you?
cuz you're always up there watching us. ?
I have to sleep now, jonghyun-ah. come and visit in my dream, in minho, taemin, onew and key's dream too. we'll be fine, you just rest well, okay?
good night, jonghyun-ah.

Trying to advertise this for the 18th but someone else is bidding really hard so I am running out of karma (already bought more for over 30dollars) so if you have some spare you are willing to donate, I would be really thankful.

I'm aware that it isn't December but I just thought of this post. December will never be easy for a lot of us. I'm more aware of my depression around that time. I just became an adult and the realization that a lot can change has finally hit me. I'm not sure how to feel. People within my family have died or are dying and it seems like the only thing I'm allowed to do is move on. I'm no longer given the luxury of grieving the way I had with Jonghyun. There are so many fond memories that I can go back to with Jjong but for them I only have memories. So much has happened these past few years and while I'm not completely okay I can say there's plenty of room where I've healed.

As year 6 approaches I want my fellow Shawols to know that healing is hardly a linear task. It's okay to not be ready but where you are there's always going to be SHINee.

And Dear Author thank you for keeping this space for all of us.

Thank you for keeping this space for us for so many years <3 This milestone hit me a lot harder than expected, but seeing this brought so much comfort. Miss you to the moon and back, Jonghyun <3

It’s been five years today and just a few days ago I turned 27, the age Jonghyun-ah was when we had to say goodbye to him. I have long since had to “become an adult” and learn what growing up means; yet every year I come back to this little space, and read some of the messages that people wrote for him, and think back to the letter I wrote at 22 and never shared with anyone. I think back to a memory of me looking at the full moon and talking to him for hours, telling him I missed him terribly. We still miss you, friend. I still remember you fondly. I still remember me at 17 dancing to Replay in my room. I’ll always cherish those memories of our Spring.



Author, I hope you have been doing well. Thank you so much for keeping this space running for so long, it brings comfort to some more than you’ll ever know.

Chapter 818: I just really paid attention to SHINee this August. Yet, when Jonghyun passed away four years ago, I felt sad that another beautiful and caring person chose to leave this place. In fact, I didn't want to listen to any SHINee songs then.
Now, watching SHINee's MVs, I feel like I have accepted what happened and hope that he is really happy now.

Time keeps moving on and I wonder why I can't just go back and fix things to when it was so peaceful. So much has happened in the last four years and it feels as though there's only SHINee left to comfort me. Jonghyun for so long I've written my letters to you and I couldn't this year because I couldn't find the strength or will to when I was feeling down. I haven't cried this much since I was a baby. I promised last year that I would tread the new year with caution and that didn't work out so great. There's more I wanna say but I just wish you knew how much I love you. Thank you for being born and sharing your light with the world. Sincerely I love you. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 ❤️

It’s been 4 years now and so it’s hard to believe that you left us, but I still do remember you as SHINee’s Blingbling Angel and as the brightest star that shines in the sky.

I used to feel so lonely after knowing that you left us, that I was listening to Lonely everyday for about a year, but now I just remind myself that you’re still with us, as the bright shining star watching over us from the night sky. ❤️
I will always love you.
