Dear Harry,
Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for teaching me that being 'fit' and skinny and sexy isn't all that a guy looks for. You are the reason I feel better about being who I am on the outside. Also, now I know that age isn't what keeps two people together, or even matters; it's love. And if you really love them, I shouldn't let other people and their opinions get in the way. Thank you for being who you are, sharing bully experiences so others could learn from it. You inspire me to be myself.
Dear Louis,
Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for setting an example to us all that being silly and immature and crazy isn't a bad thing, and that it's okay even when we grow up. In addition, you taught me that though being grown up might be something I really want, you made me realize that being young is what keeps the fire inside of us alive. I also now know that dressing the way I want and expressing myself through my clothing is what makes me, me. You show me that I can be comfortable in my own skin.
Dear Liam,
Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for showing me that success only comes from failure, and that though you may fail, it's always worth another try. You inspire me to also be spontanteous, as changing my style isn't always bad. Thank you for also teaching me that though it can be fun and games, focus and a snap back to reality is needed to get the work done. I now know that being sensitive is okay, and that heartbreak can be a b*tch, but in the end, even if it still hurts, everything will always turn out fine.
Dear Zayn,
Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for letting me know that I can be shy sometimes, and that I don't have to always be outgoing like everyone says. You also taught me to be more confident and love myself, because I'm the only one who can do me. Thank you for, even though you 'act' like a bad boy, always loving us fans in return. You make me realize that I can and should be a better friend when they need me. I know that I can be happy with my appearance without being so judgemental of my flaws.
Dear Niall,
Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for letting me realize that in my worst times, I should show them that I'm carefree and happy. I also know that though I love myself, it's okay to have flaws that even I notice. Thank you for making me believe that there will be a guy out there waiting for me, and that I'm his princess. Your love, kindness, personality, and morals help me feel better knowing that if you can be such a great guy, there will be one Niall for me too. Thank you for always staying humble.
Dear One Direction,
Thank you for all your hard work. I know you five have gone through a long journey together, and the media hasn't made it any easier on you. Through the rumors, leaks, jealousy, fan hate, you stuck with each other and never let your fans down. Please know that us fans will always be there for you in return.
Not only did we find 5 great guys who are incredibly hot and talented, you all led us to find family within the fanbase. We may fight and disagree, but we've all come together to form a 1D family, and it's been amazing knowing we have someone to lean on. ...Or 10 million others. Just like you can lean on each other because you know what each one is going through, we can lean on friends we've made because they love you too as WE know what they go through as well.
It's been 2 years, boys. I am so, so proud of you. What you've gone through has not been done before, and even though I don't understand, I can see how this all affects you and the sacrifices you had to make for us fans.
Nevertheless, you still continue to love us and work hard towards another tour, album, and another year just to please your fans. It may be a job, and it could get crappy sometimes with no privacy; it's real easy to mess up from the pressure. Also the fact that your human makes you imperfect. But honestly, your imperfection is what makes you guys perfect. You've all taught me things about myself that I've never explored; made me laugh 'til I've pissed my pants; and showed me that pushing all the hard work, talent, and skill out of us will get us to where we dream.
I've always been told to dream big and to believe in myself. Now with you five as a living example, I finally understand what everyone means. Thank you for working so hard; I know that fame's changed you and shaped you, but I'm thankful you're still the boys on the stairs on the inside. And that's what truely matters to me. 2 years has been a rollercoaster, and I will be forever happy that you all followed your dreams. It's inspired me to follow mine.
From Torn to What Makes You Beautiful to a Brit to a headlining tour to now making a new album... it's not the end, or even the middle. We've just begun.
I love you five so, SO much. I haven't met you yet, but I'm still enjoying dreaming about the day I will. And I promise you, I will. And when I do, I hope to tell you exactly what I've written. Because this post is just one little tiny bit of what I feel for you. Call me emotional, call me sentimental, but I want you boys to know the effect you have on me. Because of you, I'm a new person. I'm more confident, and I've changed the way I see myself to a more positive outlook. You make me feel beautiful.
You did it boys.
