Thoughts And Words

A Farewell

Dear Jonghyun,
I've heard of people with a bright soul, a courageous soul, and more, but to me, you're a melodious soul, cause you not only helped me, with your beautiful songs and presence, you help others as well.

I have been wanting to write here since the day i found out that you were no longer with us. Thoughts and words ran through my mind, but i felt too numb to just write down.
Today is the final leg of your journey, your love ones will be sending you off, but remember, you will always be in our hearts.

I fell in love with SHINee and you, Kim Jonghyun, since 2009-2010, and have been together with you since then. For some reason, since the the very start you have always caught my attention.
Was it your charisma?
Your looks?
Your incredible voice?
I don't know, but over the years, i found out it may have been everything and more. Your voice, your songs, your kindness, your humour, your adorable outburst, the times you were down, and especially the love you had and shown to us fans, your bands members, friends and family.

Just want to say...
I hate that i had no idea about how much you were suffering. I had a slight dark period in my life too, but fortunately, god sent my mum and my brother to be my pillars of support, to help me from getting entirely consumed by that darkness. I just hate....also sad...over the fact that the right person wasn't there to help you with your darkness too.
I can never imagine how you felt, you must have suffered silently, and it hurts me, everyone, to think about it.

Listening to your voice on Blue Night, your songs, helped me during those rough days. When i was down about something, your voice was always there to lift me up.
i just....wish that i was able to do the same for you. Your songs helped me, so why couldn't have i done the same.
You know, i've been waking up every morning, looking at the sunrise, thinking, 'Your soulful eyes will never be looking at the sunrise with us again'

But i know, you are at a better place now. A place, brighter than the sun and stars, peace and laughter just for you. I'm glad you don't have to suffer anymore. All of us will be fine here, our thoughts will always be with you, cause i know that one bright star up there, is you watching over your family and friends.



I have so much more to say but, i'll just end it like this

Thanks for everything, everything, you have done for everyone.

Thanks for gracing us with your presence.

Thanks for holding on for so long, it was a hard fight, i'm just sorry that we weren't there to help you through it.

Thanks for giving us these beautiful gifts, your songs and memories, we....i will never forget you.

and Kim Jonghyun, you did well, and that will always be in our hearts.


Always a Shawol & a Blinger

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.

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.
