all your perfect imperfections

Okay, no but seriously. Why I love Niall Horan? He's something different, isn't he? He's so bloody cheeky. Like, you think Harry is the biggest flirt? Well, you haven't heard or seen Niall in action. He laughs at anything Louis says, and just generally everything. And his laughter? Precious. He's blonde and if you don't actually know anything about One Direction, it's easy to believe that he's the "stupid" one because 50% of the interviews, he's just laughing. But in reality he's really smart. He's so aware of problems in society, and will most likely discuss politics with you. We've just not seen much of it, because no interviewer has ever asked about politics before. For goodness sakes, the lads gifted him a statue of Obama, because Niall loves him. If he's going somewhere, like when he was going to Australia not long ago-- he'll mislead everyone, making everyone think he's just at home. He's smart. He's just the sort of person you have all these thoughts and judgements about on beforehand. But then he'll surprise you, and he'll be so different. He's so positive, and he'll sing songs loudly in the morning when everyone else is grumpy and tired. And when he's tired and grumpy and just wants to sleep without having fans calling his hotel bedroom, he'll tweet-- asking whether people can stop, so he could get a good night's sleep. He asks about these things, and when he does tweet things in fume, he'll apologise later. He's not perfect, and he'll complain at times. He's himself, doesn't try to please everyone. Isn't afraid to make a fool of himself. Has great banter with everyone. Like, honestly, who does he not befriend? And it's like Harry said in one of those clips from the movie that is taken out-- if you're having a bad day, you'll just walk out and see Niall, and he'll be driving around in his segway laughing. And your thoughts just evaporates. He's a bit of sunshine trapped in a lithe body. What pegged this on, was another extended clip of This Is Us when the lads go home. Niall is literally walking down the streets of his home town, Mullingar, after having picked up suits for his brother, Greg's wedding, and then a car stops, beeping at him. And he's like "hey, what's the craic?". Treats everyone like he knows them, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did. And ah, the wedding-- the tiny bit of the wedding speech we get to hear, and the stupid dance moves? I'd just like to point out that Niall is dancing with his family in the gifs-- his mum, grand mum and dad. The other thing that pegged this post, is the gifs of Niall and Harry's mum and step dad at the This Is Us movie premier in London. It's just too endearing to me to not mention. And how he just goes in for a hug with Harry's step dad? The thing is, he's just so admirable to me, because he acts so different to what I'm used to. It may sound like I have the biggest crush on Niall, but in honesty. I just really admire him as a person. The way he isn't afraid to be himself, always manages to focus on the positive things, and just befriends everyone. A role model, if you want. He's so relatable, and not like, "out of this world". It's not like he acts any superior to anyone. And I think that's important-- to find role models that are relatable, and not only do those great things that makes them your role model. But someone who also makes mistakes and are able to admit to them-- to learn from them. One Direction wouldn't be One Direction without all of the members, but really, I would almost say that Niall is vital for their existence. People do always wonder why he's my favourite, and well, these are just a few reasons for my love for him. I'm ridiculously fond of all the boys in One Direction, and I could actually write long letters of love for each of them, because they're all little endearing shits that takes up way too much time of my life. But it's my own fault really. I've let them inside my life.
