To all the beautiful people:

So basically to everyone. This is a note about what Hannah has come to really honestly understand this weekend. Which is a lot for one weekend.This is all stuff I knew, but I finally understand.
On Friday: I learned that people are difficult sometimes, but you need to work with them. I learned that some people are not always kind. I learned that you can't always understand people, but the best you can do is try. I learned that when raising money, have an actual good cause and catch the individual's attention because a lot of people simply assume someone else will take care of it (thats called the bystander effect!) I also learned that sometimes the best way to be there for people is to let them know you care, then let them deal.
On Saturday: I learned that you cannot actually fix all awkward situations, you do not have to like everyone, and you should never grow up to the point where you can't call people out for being awful. Also, its okay to love people and let them know what they mean to you. Its necessary. Its real, its important. Also, not everyone  is like you. Thats okay.
On Sunday: This is kind of a big one for me since I've always believed this, but it just gets more and more important. Each person has value. Each person deserves a chance to live, to experience love in this world. Especially people who are different, who need more attention, who have special needs. They do not lose their dignity as a person because they have an extra chromosome, or because they can't see, or because they have difficulty in social situations. They may be difficult, they might not always seem like a heavenly blessing because they're stubborn, or annoying, or throwing fits, or more than you think you can handle, but they still are blessings.

"Do not forget that there are many children. many women, many men in this world who do not have what you have, and make sure that you love them, too, until it hurts." Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
