If you haven't heard by now,(if you haven't then you must live under a rock) Zayn Malik has left One Direction.
Part of me whats to be upset that he would just leave us with one tweet from mangement telling us one of our beloved One Direction boys is leaving, but then there's another part of me that knows this was coming. I say that because in the past year,(if you are as big fo a directioner as me you probably noticed this too) I have noticed that the amount of hateful and judgementful comments towards the boys has grown. Because of that I noticed a decrease in tweets and pictures being posted on instagram from the boys' accounts.
I don't think that there is anything we, as fans, could have done to stop him from leaving, because that amount of stress that they deal withis far more then any one of us could ever handle. With that being said, this is a perfect example of showing that they are only human. Just like everyone else they can only take so much before they reach their breaking point and Zayn just simply reached that breaking point. Right now instead of getting upset that one of our boys left, we should be remembering every amaZAYN thing that we acomplished with boys over the four/five years. It's the only way to get through it as a fandom family.
I wish the best of luck to Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards as they start a new life together. I'll always be a 1D fan no matter how old I get.
