Your Heart Worn On Your Sleve

A Farewell

Dear Jonghyun,
It hit me like a truck when I found out. I just couldn't believe I was losing you, we were losing you. I loved you so much Jonghyun, you were so amazing, your heart was so beautiful and worn on your sleeve for all to see. You had such an amazing voice, were such a great musician and producer.
Shinee was one of the bands I got into at the beginning, with bigbang, TVXQ, 2ne1 etc. I just loved their music, I cant count how many times I played Replay & in my room . Over the years they just got better and better, and then Jonghyun did his solo music and it was like it spoke to me. His voice has just been so stellar all through, and his style so unique and different. He always made me happy.

So Jognhyun, I hope you know that you and Shinee put a smile on my face when it got just too much, I could let it out, and cry. You got me through.
To be someone with major depressive disorder, I get the overwhelming tsunami of feelings of helplessness and worthlessness that comes at you, when life gets just too much you want to run as far and as fast as you can away from it. There were so many times your music gave me a place to run, a place to take cover, a place be feel again, and gain the courage to go back. And when you spoke out about mental health and depression, in an industry like KPOP that you knew may chew you up & throw you out for it, but you did it to save lives, to let people know they weren't alone.

So Jonghyun, you did good. You did more than good, you & shinee have been shining stars to light the way and make our hearts happy, You have literally saved lives through your music, and you just being you.
My heart breaks but I will let you go, so you don't have to feel pain anymore.
Please be happy Jonghyun. You have lived well, rest now.
I love you Kim Jonghyun, forever will.
Don't worry about Shinee, your family, your friends, we will do for them what we could not do for you. We will love that much harder, we will remember to tell them they did good, we will remember to tell them its okay, and to be okay.

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

Chapter 818: When I saw in newfeed I just realised today is the day. He is a sweet,kind and precious soul. I miss him.

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.

I'm so glad you won the bid. I will start collecting karma points again.
Good work.

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.
