With a sudden rise to stardom, society finds that people can easily lose themselves. But not Ed Sheeran. Ed has remained humble, kind, and generous throughout his career, and there is proof of this in his words (both lyrics and regular spoken interviews) and gestures.

Here is a very short list of the most important things Ed shows the world each day:

1. He's not afraid to show us his feelings.

Ed uses his personal experiences in his songwriting, which makes him very down-to-earth and easy to relate to.

2. The whole "Divide" album.

Each new album tops the previous. I can't wait to see the future of Ed Sheehan and his work.

3. He doesn't care what people think of him.

Whether as sarcastic as the meme above or speaking out on import issues in society, Ed isn't afraid to voice his opinion. Respectfully, he gets his point across through not only his incredible music, but also by remaining down-to-earth and remembering what it's like to feel as a human being.

4. He's selfless.

He does things some celebrities would never even fathom the thought of doing. He puts others before himself.

5. He speaks the words people are too afraid to say.

His simple, thought-out words speak volumes not only for himself but his perception of those around him and how they feel.

6. He loves cats.

It doesn't take much to make him happy, and this may be the greatest lesson out of them all that he teaches us. Love can be found in the smallest, simplest forms and places.

7. His tattoos.

A little ink never killed anybody, but his tattoos are perfection. They depict the story that is his life's journey.

8. His voice is true perfection.

He can basically sing anything, anytime, anywhere.

9. He's helped other major artists write hits.

Where would we be without "Little Things" by One Direction, or "Cold Water" by Justin Bieber?

10. He speaks about things people are too afraid to speak out about.

He's not afraid to recognize his past and make others feel like they're not alone.
