I’ve been a fan of Ian’s for over seven years now, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express what it’s been like watching him capture a fanbase and work to change the world. Ian never fails to inspire me. He sees life in an extraordinarily beautiful way, and whenever I read something written by Ian or listen to one of his interviews, I am always genuinely impressed by how he communicates what he’s passionate about and how poetic, charming, intelligent, and engaging he is. He knows the issues he advocates; he’s out there in the field making a difference in the world, and he’s inspiring others to do the same — to find what matters to you, and to protect and preserve it. This is the kind of example he has set for his fans, and it is one I am proud to follow.

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite actors and humanitarians, Ian Somerhalder.
