Totally not crying OH MY GOD!!16 years of one direction!!!

Formed on 23 July 2010 during The X Factor UK, Zayn Malik,Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan became five boys who brought happiness comfort, and memories to millions around the world. 🧸🤍 OH MY GOD!!!I was just like 2 months and 27 days old 🥺☁️🧸

I was only 4-5 years old when I first had a little crush on Zayn 😭🧸 I kept seeing One Direction songs on my feed especially Night Changes and I always thought Zayn was so beautiful. Years later around 8–9 I remember seeing Night Changes again and thinking this looks cool let me watch it and I instantly fell in love with their music and the boys

I forgot about them for a while then found them again at 11. After that life happened and I didn’t realize how much they meant to me until I got older. When I joined fandoms and understood music more at 15 I started appreciating them in a deeper way.

When I heard about Liam i was so busy at first that I didn’t fully process it. But a few days later I broke down crying. I felt guilty for forgetting One Direction at different points in my life but I realized that doesn’t mean they weren’t special to me. They were part of my childhood my memories and many moments of happiness. ❤️

Maybe one day when I’m 40 I’ll be telling my kids about One Direction the five boys who brought so much joy to so many people ☁️🧸

Love my baby liam❤️he's watching over us

Watching it again for the first time in ages (a bit heartbreaking due to Liam, especially as a long-time 1D fan, but I'm being brave), and I remembered a question I had years ago!

Does anybody know what cosplay/maid cafe they go to in Japan is called? And if it's still in business? My wife and I are travelling there for the first time next year, and I'd love to visit it.

Question 🤔 Does anyone remember an Ellen clip

I have been searching for literal years to find this video of girls singing a parody of what makes you beautiful on the Ellen show to win tickets or meet the boys and have never been able to find it. There are 5 girls in the video dressed like the boys and they start the video sitting on a couch saying “what’s up 1d what’s up” over and over. PLEASE help
