Listen.

The past couple of years have been rough for all of us.

The world has been declining since 2012 when the Mayans predicted the world would meet its end, which I suppose is appropriate.

It's been hard, but we've made it this far, haven't we? It really helps to have something to keep us going in these times. We need inspiration that will show us the light at the end of the tunnel. We all need a hero.

You could make a case for many people... Dwane Johnson, Mindy Kaling, and Oprah come to mind...but I feel like there's one person that truly deserves to be our savior, and that is Rowan Blanchard.

Rowan is an ideal candidate for many reasons, but here are just a few:

1. She's sixteen years old and already a fashion icon.

Rowan's a strong believer in fashion as a form of art and it really shows in the way she exudes her personality through her clothing.

2. Rowan and Yara Shahidi are the definition of BFF goals.

They were on the cover of "Teen Vogue" together AND they went to prom together?? Amazing.

3. Her essay on intersectional feminism is so beautiful.

You can read it here.

4. She shadowed director Ava DuVernay on set.

She's already learning to direct after following Ava on the set of "A Wrinkle in Time".

5. She wrote a book and it is ART.

"Still Here" is a diary, poetry book, and little art gallery all in one. It's written mainly by Rowan and features work from other contributors as well, like Rupi Kaur and Gia Coppola.

6. She's just all-around great.

Her Instagram feed is lovely and she does amazing work. You can catch her on "The Goldbergs" and in Ava DuVernay's "A Wrinkle in Time," out now.
