Since Hamilton: The Musical opened a year ago the mastermind behind it all has been growing more and more in popularity. While this popularity has been growing in the public my admiration for him has been growing in my heart. Unfortunately I did not discover who Lin was during the time of In The Heights, another Broadway show he is behind. That does not, however, take away from learning about him and having him become one of my favorite people I've never actually met. Here are seven things about Lin-Manuel Miranda I have learned and come to love about him:

1. His creativity.

Dude has written two Tony Award winning Broadway musicals, how many have you?

2. His genuine love for all people.

Before midnight hit the night of the Tony awards this past year I had already for a picture of his acceptance speech and made it my phones lock screen.

3. The fact he tweets good morning and night messages to everyone that follows him.

Someday's it somehow is so incredibly relevant to my life and exactly what I didn't know I wanted to hear.

4. How kind he is with children.

Now any parent is good with kids, so this one is kind of a given but this interview still is adorable. https://twitter.com/cityshopgirl/status/780365549268328449

5. His dedication.

it took him basically Obama's entire two terms to create this show, The first song took a year to write. I honestly can't think of anything I voluntarily have kept up with and worked on for that long.

6. He's attractive.

Or at least I find him attractive, to each their own. But I mean come on.

7. He's not afraid to be a little goofy sometimes.

A trait everyone should have.
