Too Soon

A Farewell

To my dear Dino
I can't believe a day has come where I have to write this, and tell you goodbye, so early, too soon..
My heart is aching for everyone who loves and cares for you. And you, who were struggling on your own.
I didn't know that you were suffering so much. I love you for you who you were.
Your bright smiles always made me feel happy. Your music made me feel better, when I was feeling sad or down. I just had to look on your videos, and I would feel better.
I feel sad, and sorry that I didn't know that you felt this way, and that I couldn't see behind your smiles.
I am sorry you went through the pain alone. But you are never alone, and we are still with you.
I am sad that I never got to meet you, and tell you how much I love you, and how grateful I am to you for all the happiness that you have given me.
I've been with you since late 2009. You were my favorite artist/vocalist. Your voice is unique, and you always sang with your heart and soul. I could always feel the emotions in your voice and music. You were truly one of a kind, and there will be no one like you Kim Jonghyun.
You will live on through your music, and inside us Shawols.
I will never forget you.
You were our happy vitamin, our Dino Jjong, our Bling bling Jonghyun.
I will always be your Blinger, and you now shine upon us, and we will remember your sweet, and innocent smile. You were true to yourself, never hid your joy and tears, whenever SHINee won. You weren't scared of crying in front of us, and that made me love you, and respect you so much more.
You did well, Jonghyun! you did more than than well. You were perfect.
I will always be proud of you, and remember you for the sweet, emotional, and down to earth person you were.
You could bring out my emotions through your music. Your covers of One Millions Roses, and Ones Way Back, always got to me. Hyeya, always made me cry. You sang with so much emotions. I was always stunned, when I heard your singing.
Listening to your music took me away from the troubles in my every day. At days, you could be my escape from my reality.
I was just a 17 year old girl, who was star struck by you, when I first saw you.
I am now a 24 year old woman, and I am about to let go of you, too early, and I don't want to, Jonghyun.
I selfishly wish that you had found another way out. But I didn't know your pain.
I will let go of you, but I won't ever forget you, and stop loving you, Kim Jonghyun <3
I love you, and I miss you so much.
I didn't get to meet you in this life, but hope we will meet each other in our next life.
My sweet, sweet Jonghyun.
Sleep well <3

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.

I'm so glad you won the bid. I will start collecting karma points again.
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.
