Dear One Direction,

     Thank you. Thank you for an awesome five years. Thank you for creating an environment and fandom that felt like a safe zone. Thank you for the fun. Thank you.

     Whether this break is 18 months or 5 years, we are here and always will be. A fandom isn't just created for a certain period but a lifetime.

    Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the insanely ridiculous tweets that I couldn't understand half the time. Thank you for being there when others weren't.

    You know what is weird, in the past five years, there hasn't been a day where I haven't seen any of your faces. Even weirder, I am actually worried about you during this break. Get plenty of sleep and drink water. Sing loudly in the shower. Eat your favorite food. As much as this is a change for us, it is an even bigger change for you.

    Thank you for the tours. Thank you for the albums. Thank you for the photoshoots and especially thank you finally getting a snapchat.

    A break means a break. A break from all contractual related things. So go write songs for other people, heck even sing with them. Use this time to really get to know and use your talents. As fans, we know this is your break as much as it is ours. Enjoy it.

  Thank you for five amazing years that have forever changed my life. Our lives. See you when it feels right, One Direction.

XOXO
