“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.”
― Lin Manuel Miranda, {(Gmorning, Gnight)}[Gmorning, Gnight]

“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)”
― Lin-Manuel Miranda

“Gmorning!
You're gonna make mistakes.
You're gonna fail.
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.”
