I have a huge crush on Beyonc\u00e9. Ever since I fell in love with her sometime this year, my love has continued to grow. There is so much that I love about her. I don’t know her personally, of course – in case you haven’t figured that out – but I have judged her to be a certain way, and whether I am right or wrong, these are the reasons why I love her.<\/p>\n

\"Beyonce\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> \u00a0She’s a strong woman.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> \u00a0She’s super talented and super private (we don’t know many things about her that she doesn’t want us to know)<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> \u00a0She dances to her own music (she’s a trail blazer and a trend setter. My girl! *Denzel Washington voice*<\/strong><\/em>)<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> \u00a0She’s a wife and a mom (and these days, it’s hard to see a celebrity of her caliber who is still married)<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> \u00a0She has no scandals (Yes, she had that one about not being pregnant, but until proven to be true, it’s still as false as a 2 naira bill)<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> \u00a0She is a force to reckoned with, always doing the most.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> \u00a0She is a hard worker<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> \u00a0She loves being a woman<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> \u00a0She advocates for women.<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong> \u00a0She’s flawless. She woke up like this.<\/p>\n

I keep picturing us both in a flawless selfie. She’ll be holding the phone. She’ll put it on her Instagram, and she’ll tag me in it. And I’ll sleep better at night.<\/p>\n

This has to be true love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
