Project 527 for Chris's 22th Birthday

Happy Birthday Chris!
May this be your best year yet.
You give so many people hope, joy, inspiration and I haven’t even started to mention your amazing talents yet!
When you shine, you inspire everyone around you to shine their brightest too.
So have a truly blindingly brilliant Birthday!

I love him because he made me feel important when no one else could, he’s my role model and is such an inspiration.

Chris Colfer. What can i say.
He is one of the most amazing people that has ever been.
He is a role model for everyone out there, and has especially helped people accept who they are and not hide themselves in anyway.
He has changed so many lives by just being who he is, and the world is sure to be a better and more accepting place because of him.
Happy Birthday Chris! <3

Chris Colfer inspires me.
He’s done so much already with his life, and he’s so young!
If I could ever have accomplished half of what he’s done by the time I’m his age, it would be amazing.

Chris Colfer made me realise my dreams, and helped me to see that I was normal.
He’s inspired me so much.
Happy Birthday Chris!

#1: he’s awesome!!

Really though.
Chris Colfer inspires the little human inside of me, the one the rest of the world doesn’t often get to see due to peer pressure or my own insecurities to shine through those intermittently bleak moments of my existence as I aspire to surpass all expectations for the achievement.
He is a constant reminder to myself that even when it’s tough that I should carry on.
Even as far as Trinidad ( a tiny speck on the world map) his message of DREAM BIG touches me.
Especially where it’s ten times harder to escape that ‘small town syndrome’ where chances of success are even slimmer.
He inspires me mostly to dream and achieve that ultimate happiness that is success of my life’s goal to write and inspire others even when I doubt myself.
His message of accepting others extends in my own life even in my multiethnic community where it’s importance is seen with every social interaction with every person I meet.
His life and his contributions to society are immense and noteworthy to the level of the individual and society as a whole.
I thank h and wish him a happy 22nd.

So I’m not gonna say that Chris Colfer saved my life. Because I’ve had a pretty easy life, and I’m still really young.

But he inspires me. He inspires me to do what I love, and taught me not to let anyone, or anything, stand in my way.
He makes me want to be a better person. He has been so selfless, doing so many things for so many people, helping his sister, and that speech when he got the golden globe…
I could go on and on. He is a beautiful person, inside and out. He’s amazing, and an inspiration to me, and so many others.
I’ve heard so many people say that Chris Colfer saved their life, not even knowing them. He is truly a great person.

He has taught me to love myself, and to be comfortable with who I am.

He is a mind-blowing singer and actor. He has shown me so many things, and I feel like a better person because of him.
And he may read this, and he may not, and it wouldn’t matter, because he’ll never stop inspiring me to be stronger, be better, be a kinder person, to work harder.
And I know he has inspired many others to do the same. He changed my life.

He also changed my life through his character, Kurt, who has inspired me in some of the same, and many more, different ways.

So thank you, Chris Colfer, for everything.

And Happy Birthday.

Chris, thank you so much for everything you and the rest of the cast have done for us.
You have shown me that I can make it through the toughest of times even though all seems lost and to reach for my dreams no matter how hopeless they may seem.
Have a great birthday and always remember you have made a huge difference to people all over the world.
Thank you!

Thank you, Chris.

Thank you for being so sweet, handsome, funny, and talented.
Thank you for brightening my day and putting a smile on my face no matter what.
Thank you for showing all your fans how much you love them.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to keep going every day.
Just thank you so much for being you!
Happy birthday Chris, we love you!

The brokenness inside me might start healing

After a bad day I just have to close my eyes and think about your genuine smile, your beautiful eyes, your angel voice and your pure heart to feel better.

Chris,

What is it that I admire about you? I won’t bother listing everything, that would take forever.
But I would like you to know that I am forever thankful that you are as brave and strong as you are.
You are such a fantastic role model for the young, the nerdy, the kids that are told they don’t fit in.
It is so refreshing to see a young man who is kind, talented and strong.
I know you have said in interviews that people give you too much credit; I think you are wrong.
I don’t think you give yourself enough credit. It’s no secret that your younger years weren’t exactly easy for you.
I can’t tell you how much I admire you for being strong enough to not give up when everyone around you told you that you should.

As a mother of a young gay man, I cannot tell you how much hope you have given me for my son’s future.
The possibility that there will be an accepting world for him as he gets older.
That his sexuality doesn’t need to be a handicap to overcome (in this town, that is how it is).

I hope to someday be able to thank you in person, to tell you that you make me smile on a daily basis.
I can’t wait to see what other projects you have going on.
Can’t wait to follow your career and watch you win all types of awards.

I hope that this birthday is fantastic. You deserve it. Thank you for being you.
-Cassie C.

I love Chris Colfer

When I first started watching Glee, I didn’t like Kurt but after a while I realized he was my favorite.
I looked up the BRILLIANT man who plays him and was instantly hypnotized;
he seemed interesting, inspirational, and more amazing than any other guy EVER and he was funny and sexy
and ever since then I’ve loved him more than ever and he inspires me each and every day

Thanks from all the “Square Pegs”

Dear Chris,

You were born on a very special day. We are only finding out now just how special that day was!
You are an incredible young man, Your COURAGE in standing up to your bullies and, better yet, showing them up by being so successful, is the best revenge of all.
I can’t begin to say what an inspiration you are; even to a 53 year old woman like me.
I fell in love with your character from the pilot episode of Glee.
Like you, I was somewhat of an outcast in high school; too smart for my own good.
I was involved in all the nerdy things, choir (we didn’t have a glee club, musicals and plays, audio-visual club, stage crew, and library aides.
I was the classic “square peg in a round hole”. Yes, I was bullied in high school; just because I was a nerd and my father was President of the school board.
Thank you for showing today’s “square pegs” that they too can overcome and succeed.
I am looking forward to following your career wherever it takes you; acting, singing, speaking, directing, writing, producing, or wearing a red cape and tights and saving the world.
Most of all, I wish you peace and joy and happiness in everything you do; with the hope that you are indeed “married by 30, legally” because EVERYONE deserves that right.
Thank you for doing your part to help make that change in our society, for the good of all.
And lastly, Happy 22nd Birthday. And as us nerds are known to say, “Live Long and Prosper”.

Less than three,

Happy Birthday!

Hi Chris.

Happy Birthday!

Just like others you inspire me a lot with everything you do.
I admire your courage and the fact that you can do so many things at the same time and still be great in all of it (I’m an lazy ass so yes i admire that in people).
But i don’t scream and/or cry every time i see your face, so don’t worry…
A lot of people say that you helped them trough a rough time with mostly glee.
I don’t relate to anyone in the show (if there would be a character on the show that represented me you could make it glee meets dr. Phil.), but it did the one thing I really needed.
It makes me happy, even in my darkest days, and learned me not to give up on my singing.
That’s all I need.

Keep doing the amazing things you do, Stay strong en ignore the haters…they’re idiots..

Dear Chris,
You are quite literally saving lives and changing minds and making peoples lives better.
Because of you I believe in myself and I know I can accomplish anything I want with my life.

Thank you for never giving up on your dreams and being a hope and an inspiration to many.

Happy birthday. Have an amazing day.

Love, Emily, from Australia.

Dear Chris:
I met you the last year, and nothing was very good back then, I was really lost -I wont say the whole story, it would be to long but- I had ups and downs…
and I don’t even know how to describe that, but it was a hard time when I thought I wasn’t good enough… I thought I wasn’t worth it…
and I was in the point of giving up, but not just in my dreams, I want to give up on life and…
It was scary because for the first time in my life I didn’t know how to face it. I really didin’t know what to do.

And I remember back then how I used to listen at you in the middle of that mess and I’d pretend to forget everything that was around me,
just focus in you soft voice and everything seemed to be fine and calm at that moment, you were my escape.
I remember how I started to read about you, and how you, your indescribable talent and your decition to don’t let anyone bring you down, beging to inspired me.
You’ve taught the most wonderful lesson I ever had to be myself and it may not be enough for other people but screw them.
And even through I was -or am- still a mess I started to think that maybe it wasn’t as bad ad I thought.
You make me brave, you make me wanna follow my dreams,
you little llama boy, have brought me more happiness over the past year that I thought I’d be possible, and I cannot thank you enough for that.

For all the things you show me, I wish you a Feliz Cumpleaños! (happy b-day in spanish) hope you have the best of the days.
I love you! and thanks for every little smile you’ ve gave me.

Dear Chris

Wow. I don’t even know how to put my admiration and love for you into words.
You are only twenty two years old (22 years of awesome!) and you have done so much.
You have starred on TV, sang many beautiful songs, written and starred in and produced a movie, written a book and changed countless lives, including my own.
There is so much I could say to you, like how you’ve given me hope and made me realize my dreams
and helped me believe I could succeed and get out of this town and DO something with my life,
but there’s only one word that sums up everything perfectly: Thanks.
Happy birthday, Chris.

Love, Ainjel S.
