You Crafted Your Life Beautifully

A Farewell


Seeing your members "supporting" you this way was horrible Jonghyun-ah. I'm a college student and I can't bunk classes. I'm alright around my friends, but the moment I became alone, I start thinking about a life without you, and my whole self feels numb after that. Seeing anything related to suicide, scares me the most now. I always rooted for Onew to come back as soon as possible, but then if it was this way I wouldn't have wished for it occur so soon. You planned it well, my dear. You left no holes in between. You crafted your whole life beautifully, from your birth, achieving success, fame and lastly, you did all your duties. You lead a good life, Jonghyun-ah. You didn't hurt anyone. I want to know who hurt you, was it us? was it our love? what was it, Jonghyun-ah. I feel that you are happy now. It rained here and i felt like you were patting my shoulder, saying that I shouldn't feel bad. But without you, your members won't be the same Jonghyun-ah. It's heart breaking to see them carry you like that, they were protecting you, your mother attended her own son's funeral. This is a big punishment, jonghyun-ah. I know you are happy, now that you lost all your depression, but why do I feel like I'm falling into one? The price of your happiness is too big, Jonghyun. To us, your life was so perfect. You had everything you wanted, but then we didn't know you were suffering in the darkness. You could have walked out if you didn't like it, but then you chose to fly away from us.
Was it too difficult breathing in the smoke? Your eyes must have watered, maybe that'd be the last time you will ever cry. You smile so beautifully in your funeral photo, your friends were carrying you with swollen faces. You could have stayed some more time with us, love. We don't deserve but we need you. Life was too short for you, Jonghyun. I pacify myself that you are happy somewhere else, but how can I be happy when you took everything away from me. The look you gave us in the final concert clearly spoke of how ready you were to go and you scanned the entire place for one last time. Who's going to sing all the high notes. Elders always say that we should cherish the present, because it may turn to a regrettable past. I see that now, Jonghyun-ah. You were there when I was praying for Onew's well being, you were there when Taemin came back, I didn't support you enough. You wouldn't know me about it, at least my prayers would have reached you. I'm watching many videos of you, and the memories you left behind, will hopefully heal me. Others are saying they saw the blue moon in the sky. You are looking at your members from afar, right? Take care of them. Please.

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.
