Which of these Ed Sheeran quotes is your favorite?

Not only do Ed’s songs provide us with inspiration (and great entertainment), but his personal story is moving as well!

He went from being a bullied kid to a superstar, even if he thinks he isn’t as cool as Lady Gaga!

I saw some pictures of him as a little guy and he is just adorable!

It saddens me that we live in a world where people would be cruel to someone because of their hair color!

He seems to have moved on and used that as motivation to succeed!

We love you, Ed!
