Lupita Nyong’o has thanked her fans with a poem as 2014 rolls out.
The 12 Years a Slave actress posted a verse on Instagram in which she expressed how much she has enjoyed 2014 and the many accolades – including a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award and being named People’s Most Beautiful and Glamour’s Woman of the Year – she has received over the last 12 months.
Alongside a picture of a patchwork quilt and the words ‘Happy Holidays’, she wrote to her million followers:
‘This year was one of a kind and a kind one to me.
‘There was lots to be done and a whole lot to see.
‘I had family and friends and colleagues galore.
‘Now I have fans, plus a million and four!’
The 31-year-old beauty went on to thank fans for their social media posts and reassure them she cares though she doesn’t have time to reply their messages.
She continued: ‘ Though I don’t answer ’cause time is a-tickin’, know that you matter by the posts that I’m pickin’.
‘I keep posting ’cause I know that you care, and I care to post when I know that you’re there.’
After wishing her fans ‘peace, love, joy, laughter beams’ for the coming year, Lupita concluded her verse with a quote from Doctor Seuss.
She wrote: ‘If things start happening, don’t worry, don’t stew, just go right along and you’ll start happening too.’
