Dear [insert celebrity crush name here],    

My friends and I always watch the red carpet before awards shows. As all the celebrities glamorously glide out of limousines and onto the red carpet, I become more and more excited. Although I thoroughly enjoy the sight of all of the celebrities (and examining their wardrobe option and date of choice), I think of you the entire time. Becoming more anxious as the limousines arrive and the celebrities flood out, you step out and butterflies fill my stomach.     

It may come as a shock, but even though I do not know you personally, I might as well. I follow you on Twitter and Instagram (you’re welcome for the likes) and watch your interviews. So naturally, your birthday is marked on my calendar. I am well aware of all of your favorites including food, color, animal, movie, and music genre. Your background and family is common knowledge to me. Like a hawk, I follow your actions and relationship status and know all the gossip before your average tweeter (and I promise I have your back). Essentially, if I played a jeopardy game just concerning you, I would be rich.    

Even though some call me a dreamer, I have a tight enough grasp on reality to realize this probably will not work out.  However, I think I’m more helpful to you than you know. It’s no secret that celebrities owe their success to partly their talent and their agent (blah, blah, blah), but ALSO owe it to their fans. Those random positive vibes you get on bad days — you can thank me for that. I can assure you that when people hate on you, I am there to defend your honor. Plus, celebrity crushers are double the fan, therefore double the impact.   

I know it sounds crazy that I’m confessing my love to you in this manner, but I just want you to know that I’m not the only one who feels this way about someone they probably won’t meet. Crushing on celebrities is a simple part of human nature along with the need for naps, coffee, crazy nights out, and Netflix. Sure, we may never have a tangible relationship, and I may never even see you in person, but no harm no foul. I still want to take a moment to express my appreciation.    

Thank you for having the most piercing eyes I’ve ever seen. Also, please never change your hair because it is also one of my favorite things about you. Really, seeing your face on the screen is better than the feeling of waking up early then realizing it’s Sunday and being able to go back to sleep. So yes, it’s safe to say I find you attractive.

More importantly, I’d like to thank you for your admirable talents. It takes a special kind of person to trigger an emotional response out of me whether it is tears of laughter or sadness, just from delivering a few lines or making a certain facial expression. Sometimes it’s hard for me to tell if you are my celebrity crush because you play a substantial role in my favorite movies and shows, or if shows and movies are my favorites because you play a substantial role in them. Whatever the case may be, I appreciate you immensely.      

Here’s to us! 

Xoxo, 

[your typical celebrity crusher]
