Some of you may or may not know that tomorrow, 16th February is Amanda Holden's birthday. To many this day could be seen as irrelevant but to myself and all of the many Holdenites it is definitely a day to celebrate! Anyway, if you know me personally you will more than likely have realised how much I adore this lady.
In previous years I have sent Amanda cards and presents for her birthday, but this year I realised that since I have a blog and the use of Twitter, I though that this post would probably mean just as much to her even if it has cost me nothing. So, to those of you reading this be prepared for a huge rant about my love for Amanda Holden that is about to take place underneath this paragraph...
I can't quite put my finger on when I started to idolise Amanda but what I do know is that I was a fan long before the term 'Holdenite' came about, which I think is a brilliant fan nickname. However, I think that anyone can idolise somebody no matter how long they have known of their existence. Amanda has been my role-model right the way through my teenage years and looking back on that fact now I would never change that because, as typical as this may sound, her influence has made me the person that I am today. I will never, ever stop being grateful for the numerous tweets and direct messages I have been lucky enough to receive from her and not forgetting the fan-mail replies too, nothing means more to a fan than receiving any form of recognition from their celebrity idol. That is one thing that I love most about Amanda, her respect and appreciation towards us fans - which is something that more celebrities should endorse!
More than anything, Amanda has given me, her fans and members of the public determination in our lives and taught everyone to be strong no matter what comes in your way of happiness. This quote from an interview is one that should be read and thought about by everyone -
''But unless you face the darkness, you can't see the light''
I think that we can all relate to this in some way or another. The past couple of years have allowed me to recognise just how much this woman truly means to me and I am extremely proud to call her my idol. When I got my chance to meet Amanda last year after waiting for such a long time to do so, I was and still am completely over the moon and those were honestly the best moments of my life!
If by any chance Amanda, that you ever read this, I hope you know how much you mean to all of your fans and I wish you the biggest Happy Birthday! You deserve all the happiness that has been given to you recently and I hope it continues forever, no matter what happens I will always support you, no mater what, I love you lots.
