Everyone knows that I cry about Tyler Posey a lot, but I don’t know if people truly understand how important Tyler Posey is. As a media presence, he one of the best role models in television, hands down. 

He actively campaigns for charities and participates in raising awareness for different causes. He’s very open about mental illness, and encourages people to seek help. He doesn’t try to hide his own struggles with mental illness, and supports people opening up about their own. That takes a lot of courage and the fact that he does it with so many eyes on him is inspiring. 

He always touches base with his fans - he’ll spend hours replying to people on Twitter, he’ll delay his entourage to talk to his fans, he’ll give hugs and take pictures when he’s not supposed to. He’s so incredibly humble, he thanks everyone else for his fame. He credits his parents, won’t stop thanking Jeff for the opportunity and his costars for making TW happen and his fans for supporting him. We’ve heard it so much, but he will say it over and over. He never stops being thankful and I don’t think he ever will.

He’s a truly loving and caring person. You can just tell. The way he interacts with the people around him, how genuine he is. He’s so open with his affection - hugs and kisses and calling people ‘babe’ and showing people he cares about them, regardless of their gender. He’s so soft in a world that imposes rigid standards of masculinity, and he never tries to excuse that part of himself.

He is always striving to be better, to learn things, to create more. He’s passionate about every aspect of his life and it’s infectious.

We need people like him everywhere. People who are real and down to earth and completely unafraid of themselves. Who break barriers and stigmas and stereotypes without even realizing it, by just being themselves. Tyler Posey is one of those people, I’m so happy that so many people can see that and appreciate that. He’s such a blessing.
