You are not alone

It's been 3 years since I've posted a blog or on here in general as I've fallen off the kpop wagon a bit, and all I have to say right now is that you are not alone. 

Please don't forget that. I know things can be rough sometimes, and you may feel alone but you are not. There is always someone you can talk to. 

Today we lost a beautiful soul, a shining star in Korea and all over the world. 

It hurts me so much to know that someone so beautiful inside and out, so talented, so caring and kind was struggling the most inside. 

My heart breaks for him and his pain, his sister who found him, his family, the rest of SHINee, all his loved ones and friends, and Shawols. 

Your life can be going so well, you can be on the up & up; all it takes is that one little demon that tells you "You can die today," that can be what sets you off. Depression is a and there is so much of a stigma against it. I wish the industry and the world can take a look at what has happened and try to make things more acceptable to be talked about and help those suffering. 

Please don't let yourselves suffer in silence. Please. Don't let your demons eat you inside. It ing getting trapped within your own head.

I cannot even begin to imagine what he was suffering from as an idol. They are people too. They get sad, angry, lonely. They seem so happy but they get tired. 

Jonghyun, you were one of the first people to get me into kpop when I was a shy awkward kid in middle school trying to figure out what kpop really was. You were a bright shining star with a beautiful smile and kind eyes. Your voice made me feel so many emotions. The love you gave your members, friends and fans was enormous and I'm sorry we couldn't have helped you and made you feel that love more.

To the man who I didn't even know personally, who most certainly did not know me: thank you for making the world such a beautiful shining place with your presence even if it was not for a long time. 

Let us not remember our bling-bling dino as someone who committed suicide and succumbed to his demons, think of him as the wonderful human who suffered from what many others do yet still tried to make others smile and love his passion for music. 

This will take a long time for me and many others to get over and the world will never be the same. 

Rest in paradise Kim Jonghyun. I pray for your eternal peace away from those demons that so haunted you while you were here on earth. Please continue to look after all your loved ones and finally rest easy. To our star who shined so brightly as an idol and a human under public scrutiny, continue to shine so brightly amongst the other stars in the sky. <3
