Humans of...

In an attempt to clean my room, I came across a book I had bought back in December. I'm sure that a lot of you have heard of the popular blog Humans of New York, but when I came across it long ago, it really meant something to me. Brandon Stanton, the author/photographer put out a book this last year, that consisted of a bunch of pictures he had taken and people he had met. I thought this would be the perfect "table book."

There is a few reasons why I think this was such a great concept. Meeting people on the street, taking a picture of them with maybe a quote of something they said, or what they were doing. It is an instant reminder to me that we are all Gods children. Every single person here on this earth has a story, we are all so different. We look different, we act different and we think differently. We are all individuals and not one of us are exactly alike. What a crazy thought. There is no other person in this world who is exactly like me. 

There are circumstances that are relatable, there are hobbies that we can share, views and ideas. But we have all had individual joys, experiences and trials. I know I am being repetitive, but let that really sink in. 

It just gives me such an appreciation for Heavenly Father. He created us all. He loves us all. I know this. We need to remember that when we are meeting people. We are all special and have something to contribute to this life, there is not one person who is more important than another, even though worldly standards may disagree.
