It may be Friday, and folks around the nation may be enjoying a few rays of sunshine before the weather turns cold, and the Pope may be gracing America with his presence.
But this is still a tragic day for millions of young men and women around the globe.
Okay, mostly millions of women around the globe. But the point still remains:
Zayn Malik quit One Direction on March 25, 2015. That’s six months ago today.
As a result, the hashtag "#6MonthsWithoutZayn" has been trending worldwide on Twitter, with one user summing up most people’s feelings by writing of One Direction at the moment.
"4 in our eyes. But 5 in our hearts."
How true, right?
Another 1Der Tweeted "Still waiting for you to come home even though I know that you won’t change your mind," while another simply wrote: "I’m emotional."
We all are, especially due to how crazy everything has been since Zayn left.
Malik has since split from fiancee Perrie Edwards. He’s also signed a solo record deal, saying he left One Direction to make real music. OUCH.
One Direction, meanwhile, has announced the release date of its next album (November 13).
But it’s also made a far more heartbreaking announcement: the group will take an extended hiatus in 2016.
If the boy band never reunites, the outcry from Twitter may very well take down the entire social media universe.
