“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 YOU’RE waiting for,
And what simply won’t 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 YOU’RE waiting for,
And what waits for you while you wait.”
― Lin-Manuel Miranda

“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.”
