2013 may have been the year you were first introduced to the gift that is Samira Wiley, but THIS year she officially stole your heart.
1. Let's be honest, when you binge-watched Season 2 of Orange Is the New Black you were really only looking out for this face:
Swoon.
2. Each and every time she stepped out on the red carpet in 2014, you were left utterly speechless from her perfection.
Shh, just take a minute.
3. When she was named “Ingenue Of The Year” by OUT magazine – and graced the cover wearing nothing but pearls – you couldn't even think.
4. Whenever she did something adorable with an OITNB co-star, your tiny frozen heart melted just a little.
5. Let's not forget about the #TBT that broke the internet, for you anyway:
6. This year, you became 99.9% sure that clothing was originally invented just to be worn by Samira Wiley.
7. Because, bae.
8. It was also the year she taught you what your eyebrow game was lacking:
Lol. RT @samira_wiley: @samirawiley I swear to god #eyebrowgoals ‼️
9. And she gave you some new relationship goals, tbh.
SIGH.
10. When Wiley rocked New York City's Pride Parade with her partner in crime Danielle Brooks...
... you knew this love was for real.
11. And when she sent this special birthday message, you pretended she was speaking to you:
Really, anytime Wiley and Brooks were together you had to stop and collect yourself.
12. When this happened you finally realized what love sounds like:
13. With each and every selfie, she won you over just that much more.
14. You could say she just moonwalked her way into your heart this year.
That feeling you're feeling right now? That's your heart belonging to Samira Wiley.
Go on, go back and watch Poussey's definition of love over and over:
Obviously, the feeling is mutual.
I love you guys.
