For the longest time, I had never truly appreciated Beyonce as an artist. I thought of her as a good singer from iconic songs like "Crazy in Love" and "Single Ladies," but I was never obsessed with her. When her "Formation" song came out, I was blown away. It’s honestly one of my all-time favorite songs because of how catchy, symbolic, and empowering it is. It has been since then that I have come to appreciate her for her overall amazingness. She is simply an astonishing human being. She inspires and influences millions of people. Despite her overall awesomeness, she is such a down-to-earth person. That is what makes her so real. We try to be like her, but we simply cannot reach that level of perfection and realness. There are, of course, some instances when Queen Bey embodies us.
