Anonymous Letter Left: Library Edition Errand

She decided that her first note of kindness would be randomly placed there in the Library itself. This was one of her sanctuaries in school where she could get away from large social gatherings of people poking fun at her. Maybe it provided solace for others like it did for her. Her eyes lifted from her notecard to scan her surroundings. There were some sitting alone and studying, but who knew what their thoughts were at that moment and where their heart was. Maybe they didn't know where their heart was. That's how Alina felt at that time.

This entire thing was a little odd though. She wasn't a writer nor did she think of herself as kind. As she saw it right now, she possessed not one bit of connection to any of the Hufflepuff traits but again, she wasn't thinking about the fact that she was writing this random note of kindness to spread joy which was very Hufflepuff-like.

She placed her quill onto the notecard and began her letter for the library:

Dear Finder:
Hello to you and thank you for coming across this note. It is intended for you. Yes, YOU! It doesn't matter who you are at this school or in this world, we could all use a bit more kindness in our lives. Please continue reading. If this is of some value to you, keep it and write another to put in it's place. If it's not of any value to you, I ask that you kindly set it down and be on your way. Trust me, not everyone is lucky enough to have thoughtful words thrown their way on a daily basis.

If you are still reading this letter, I ask you once finished to hold your head up, take a deep breath, and smile. Take a moment to look around at the beauty this world has to offer. It's everywhere. It's amongst the old parchment and bounded leather of a library with books filled with wonderous adventures, lessons to be learned, and knowledge to be shared. Take this research and these stories out of the walls of the Library and apply them to the world outside. Let the sun shine on your face and the wind blow in your hair. We are all here for a reason, even if we don't know what that is. You are part of this universe and deserve to be here as everyone else does. Smile. You Matter.

She read over the note quickly and decided it would do and after stuffing her remaining notecards and items back into her bag, she got up and went to the nature section of the library where she left the notecard sticking out between two books.

OOC Note: [Alina doesn't realize that she actually possess quite a bit of Hufflepuff qualities and eventually will be called out on it. It's through things like this that others will really start to see it. I have her using the same type of notecard and the same first paragraph for this reason too. In her mind, she just thinks of it as 'her mark on it.' However, the second paragraph of all her notes of kindness go on to different aspects. Her one in the Library talks about how the reader matters, the one in the Owlery is to help with family issues that one might have when writing home, and the one in The Great Hall is to help with a lack of friends and loneliness. Below, I've included the word count with the first paragraph removed, and this message excluded as well.
