The World Lost Its Colour

A Farewell

When I first heard it, I was like "No way, it can't be." I said it to myself numerous times. First, I wished I never heard this news but then how can I not unhear it. It broke my heart. It felt like suddenly the world lost its colour. You were my first ever bias. And my favorite voice. When you sing, the imagery of your picture forms in my mind. I listened to your songs and I went damn crazy at your voice. I don't go liking people for their appearance first. When I first heard your voice it was so attractive. And I realized something, you wanted people to say that you worked hard. I know I'm selfish for hoping you to live when you didn't want to. Not only me, many people hoped for that. What is gone is gone. And I'll let go and not hold into the sadnes. But, for what I know now is that I can't see kpop like I did before. It's just now a whole different world. Though I joined kpop during 2014 when I was 13 years. I was young. First thank you for bringing me into kpop. You were a part of it. I know that this will not reach you. But, I hope it does.

Some are strong, some are weak. I was strong to fight my demons. I already have this fixed view on suicide, "it's the most stupidest decision." That's what always kept me going when I had very big mental breakdowns. I have felt lonely at times. And then there were my friends who said that they love me. I didn't get to know from them directly but indirectly at first. Everytime I felt lonely I was reminded of them. Whenever you feel lonely remember that there are people for you. It's always our mind that plays trick with us. They create an illusion. So, we can fight it back by creating our own trick and trick our mind. Don't let negativity get into you and be optimistic.

I haven't had depression. But, I know it's very serious. However, in my opinion, I think depression sometimes starts with a small problem which isn't something related to depression but you think that it's depression and then it keeps on getting developed because the more you think the more worker it gets. So, when you face certain problems never take it as depression.

I'm sorry if I offended certain people. I'm sorry if my words are untrue at some point. This is my opinion and what I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Let's stay strong. And yeah, talking. Talking to people helps.

Jonghyun gave me now a fixed dream. I'm gonna be a counselor. I heard from certain people that I'm good at that. And Jonghyun gave me reasons to be one. I'll be one and help more people. I'll definitely be one.

Love you, Jonghyun my first idol crush. My favorite voice. Our Angel. Rest In Peace.

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.

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.
