In my culture we create altars to honor the lives of those who have passed, so today I created my first one. My beautiful prince, now my angel- you worked hard.

info on Jonghyun’s condition i’ve been able to gather:
- Kim Jonghyun (member of SHINee) was found in an apartment unit / officetel (?) in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, December 18th 6:00-6:30KST
- either in critical condition or already deceased, though unfortunately most sources state that he is dead
- suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning from lit coal briquettes, attempted to commit suicide
- Gangnam police have confirmed his death
- Allegedly sent his sister a suicide message prior to the event

jonghyun: if you tear up, then just cry. how is there such a thing like: “something to cry over” or “nothing to cry over”. (source: cosmicsticks)
above is a list of suicide hotlines from around the world. please do not feel as though you are alone, it is important to remember that you are not alone and there are thousands experiencing the same thing you are. there is always someone who is willing to listen to you and stand by your side during these dark times.
there needs to be a constant and ever growing conversation about mental health and how harmful and deadly it can become. we need people to no longer be scared to reach out, to speak, to share, to no longer feel trapped and suffering in silence, scared of what others may think.

there are so many more moments to include but i wanted to hold onto these for sure. jonghyun, you were a celebrity like no other. i cant imagine a world without you. i wish you’d gotten to known how many hearts and minds you touched with your voice, your songwriting, and just by being yourself.
But today is an important day in which an important star became an angel. My fellow shawols, we are in this together, and I want you to know he wouldn’t want us to feel sad, but don’t be ashamed to let the tears flow.I will be sharing some posts here to help with coping.
