Were We Avoiding The Signs?
A FarewellI never expected this to happen, least of all to you. You were a bright person but that's just it - you can never judge a book by its cover.
I can't help but think: Were we avoiding the signs? Did our minds unconsciously block out the tells of your depression because we only saw what we wanted to see - a cheerful and happy celebrity? Or were you just that good of an actor, to pull the wool over our eyes?
As a fan, it pains me to hear of the news. As a human being, it saddens me to know that a fellow human was suffering and the only way out was suicide.
I'm personally against suicide and how it affects the people around you, but I understand why you did it. I suffer from anxiety, depression and insecurities myself. I've thought about ending the pain too, of just putting a stop to everything. I never go through with it, however, because I have people who keep me from drowning in this ocean of darkness and negativity.
It hurts me to know that the pain was too intense and the ocean of depression too deep that even your loved ones couldn't help you through it.
Jonghyun, you were enough. You did a good job. You worked hard. You will always be remembered - for your role in SHINee, for your voice, for your personality, but most of all, for being yourself.
Thank you for being an inspiration. Thank you for everything. Thank you.
Farewell, Kim Jonghyun.
