drink-your-ovaltine: So I didn’t want to post something about their hiatus right away, because so much has been said & I just needed the words to be right. These boys are my world. They have been for the past 4 years & will continue to be forever. People laugh at me when I talk about what a huge impact they’ve had on me & when I say that I’ll love them forever because to regular people, they are just a boy band. But to a Directioner, they are SO MUCH more than that. When I first started listening to them when Up All Night was released, I was going through major mental health problems. I was on & off medications every few months due to insurance & doctors & my moods were everywhere. I was literally on an emotional rollercoaster. But that isn’t when I became what we call a “Directioner”. I officially became a Directioner when Take Me Home was released. My dog & best buddy Cocoa passed away just a couple of weeks after their second album was released. I felt like I was in the pits of hell - my whole world was crashing around me & I felt like it was the end. I wanted to give up. I was having a true emotional breakdown. I only had like one true friend who understood & was there for me no matter what & my mom & brother. But with my mood swings, even my relationships with my mom & brother were rocky. This is the time period in which I became obsessed with this wonderful band. They made me so happy & they were the only ones able to do so. I stayed true to them for the past 4 years & so much has changed. I can honestly say these boys were one of the few things that saved me. They gave me hope when I didn’t have any left & they built me back up whenever I tore myself down. I am mentally stable at the moment & I can honestly say I’m truly happy. These boys keep my spirits up & they will continue to do so. There are no boys or boy bands quite like them. They are truly one of a kind & I am so proud to call myself a part of this fandom. Here is to the end of chapter one. Onto the next. -- source link
