Anyone who has known me for more than 10 minutes could probably tell you one thing: I absolutely love Ed Sheeran. I find him to be one of the most perfect human beings to ever grace this planet. That may sound extreme, but it is simply the truth. And, honestly, it was not love at first listen. I remember when “The A-Team" first came out and played on every other radio station I would flip to. It was not long before I would immediately change the station as soon as I heard the soft guitar strums at the beginning. It was roughly a year ago, however, that I came upon Ed Sheeran's Spotify page and decided to give him a chance, for real this time. And from there, it is all history.

So, yes. It is obvious that I think Ed Sheeran is pure perfection. But why? For those of you who have never listened to Ed Sheeran, go…now. More likely than not, you will understand my love for him and his red hair, his mad guitar skills and voice that reminds me of waves crashing gently on the sand during a low tide. Also, he's British, so that is always a "thumbs up." His songs are so eloquently written and accompanied by beautiful melodies that just make you want to go for a long drive on a pretty fall day and stare deeply into the horizon and contemplate life.

Before I go any further about my personal feelings towards this amazing man, here is why he is the perfect human being.

1. He visited one of his sweet fans in the hospital for her birthday after she was unable to make it to his concert.

2. He crashed a couple's wedding ceremony and was their wedding singer.

3. He performed on Sesame Street.

4. He is best friends with Taylor Swift and Harry Styles.

5. He knows how to do a night out.

6. This is what he looked like when he was younger:

7. This is what he looks like on a paddle board:

So, my friends, this is why I love Ed Sheeran. I hope that everyone can at least find some sort of appreciation for him and all of the wonderful things he is.
