Gmorning!
You're gonna make mistakes.

You're gonna get back up.
You're gonna break hearts.
You're gonna change minds.
You're gonna make noise.
You're gonna make music.
You're gonna be late, let's GO.
Gnight!
You're gonna fall down.
You're gonna be tested.
You're gonna learn about yourself.
You're gonna get brave.
You're gonna take stands.
You're gonna make waves.
You're gonna make history.
You're gonna need rest, REST UP.

β
Gmorning.
This feeling will pass.
This workload will pass.
These people will pass.
But look at you, with the gift of memory.
You can time travel to the good stuff just by closing your eyes & breathing.
Then come right back to now, eyes up for the good stuff ahead.
You magic thing.
Gnight.
This moment will pass.
This fatigue will pass.
Tonight will pass.
But look at you, with the gift of imagination.
You can teleport to where you're happiest just by closing your eyes and breathing.
Then come right back to now, check in with the present.
You magic thing, you.

Good morning.
Your very presence is intoxicating.
Good night.
Your very absence is sobering.

Your mind is yours alone. Do what it takes to make yourself comfy. Build a library in there, play some music. Make it your home.

Gmorning
November
You lurch & you lumber
From bonfire to ember
From waking to slumber
You deaden the grass
& you piss in the pot
The birds all haul ass
And the pumpkins all rot
Remember, November:
Momentous elections
Ignite us, divide us,
Divine new directions
Novemberβ
Chill.
Gnight, November
Come in from the cold
We're making hot cocoa
with WHOLE milk: we're bold.
CHILL, November. CHILL.

Did you also forget to get the lifetime warranty for your peace of mind?

Did you also forget to get the lifetime warranty for a good night's sleep? Saaaaame

Gmorning to your heart,
pumping that oxygen-rich blood to every part of you,
dedicating every chamber to your survival;
and even when you SWEAR itβs broken,
it keeps beating,
it keeps time,
it keeps you right here with us,
bless your heart
Gnight to your miraculous mind,
running the whole show,
doing its best to organize itself and your place in the world, an impossible task, given the world;
Give it breaks,
Give it rest,
Give it music (that bumps in both hemispheres)
Give it help,
Give yourself what you need β€οΈ
β
β
Lin-Manuel Miranda
β
Gmorning!
I wish you clarity today.
Clarity of thought, clarity of expression, and a direct line between what you feel and what to do about it.
Gnight!
I wish you clarity tonight.
Clarity of self, clarity of purpose, and a direct line between who you want to be and how to get there.

β
Gmorning.
Consider the headache that waits for caffeine.
Consider the silence that waits for music.
Consider the shoreline that waits for the tide to come in.
Now consider what YOUβRE waiting for,
And what simply wonβt wait anymore.
Gnight.
Consider the heartbreak that waits for relief.
Consider the treasure that waits for discovery.
Consider the crops that wait for rain.
Now consider what YOUβRE waiting for,
And what waits for you while you wait.

Lin-Manuel Miranda
β
Gmorning.
Outside, the wind roars, tectonic plates shift, the trains race
But INSIDE YOURSELF,
your mind is your own, and youβre the only one who can reach the lights, the remote, and the thermostat.
Settings how you need them.
Make yourself at home.
Gnight.
Outside, the rain falls, the sea rises, the fires burn
But INSIDE YOURSELF,
your mind is your own, youβre drawing the blinds, youβre the only one who can reach the lights, the remote, and the thermostat.
Make yourself at home.
β
β
Lin-Manuel Miranda
β
Gmorning.
Grateful for growing pains,
Grateful for the lines on my face,
Grateful for the crick in my neck,
Grateful for hot showers,
Grateful for broken coffee machines,
Grateful for the thumbs typing this,
Grateful for another day alive at the same time as you.
Gnight.
Grateful for long days,
Grateful for aches and pains,
Grateful for quick pad thai delivery,
Grateful for hot baths,
Grateful for early work calls tomorrow,
Grateful for the thumbs typing this,
Grateful for another day alive at the same time as you.

β
Gmorning
from the longest hair on your head
to the tiniest nail on your pinky toe
from your longest scar
to your achiest joints
& everything in between
Everything you got is perfect and not because itβs perfect but because itβs yours
Itβs yours yours yours
Letβs go
Gnight
from your carefully nursed,
unrequited crushes
from cracked knuckles
& cheering for winning home teams
from your rituals
to your whims
& everything in between
Everything you got is perfect & not because itβs perfect but because itβs yours
Itβs yours yours yours
Rest up

Gmorning to the struggling
(he wrote, knowing all of us are struggling)
to the tired
(he wrote, feeling pretty tired himself)
to the living
(he wrote, covering his bases)
to the dead
(he wrote, for we are never gone)
& to you,
doing your best
(I know you are, pal, I see you)
Gnight to those still searching
(he wrote, knowing all of us are searching)
to the weary
(he wrote, feeling pretty weary himself)
to those alive
(he wrote, covering the bases)
to those yet to live
(for future generations)
& to you, doing your best
(I know, love, I know you are)

Gmorning
from me, the wrong side of the bed
It was nice waking up with you,
Though I know you blame me for all manner of calamity.
Sorry.
This I promise:
Your sh**ty morning/day/week/year is NOT a life sentence
Roll over
Get up
Letβs go
Gnight
from me, your waiting bed.
I don't have any answers,
& I don't know which side of me
will be wrong in the morning.
This I promise:
You do not need to bring the day/week/life you've had
to your dreams tonight;
the cool side of the pillow awaits,
unburden yourself
I got you

Gmorning to the miracle
(psst thatβs you,
youβre the miracle)
Gnight to the miracle
(Quit looking around,
youβre the miracle, YOU)
β
β
Lin-Manuel Miranda
β
Pain, joy, frustration, euphoria, everything.
It all passes. It all keeps moving.
Wherever you are is temporary.
Rage, bliss fatigue, rapture, everything.
It all passes. It all keeps moving.
Where you are is fleeting.
β
β
Lin-Manuel Miranda (Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You)
β
I donβt know how to tell you this,
But,
Youβre not perfect.
You never will be.
You keep growing and messing up
And learning,
And your quirks become strengths.
You are so much better than perfect.
And todays fuckup becomes a
Turning point once you survive it
And you see it behind you.
You leave perfect in the dust,
You just keep going.

Gmorning...
*TGIF-style theme song plays*
THE MORNING TWEET IS ON YOUR PHONE
YOU START YOUR DAY, YOUβRE NOT ALONE
WHEN DREAMS ARE JUST AROUND THE BEND
YOU RIIIIIISE
*we see the skyline of your town*
GMOOOOOORNING YOUUUUU
*You turn to the camera mid-activity, smile*
Gnight
*credits roll*
*freeze frames from your day roll past as a jazzy instrumental version of your theme music plays*
STAY TUNED FOR PERFECT STRANGERS
