Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You by Lin-Manuel Miranda
3.0
Genuinely happy this exists. Also, I'm taking it as a hopeful sign that it was both the last book I read of 2018 and the first of 2019.
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.
There is a lightness, a positivity, a charisma that energizes. Some days you need someone to acknowledge the battle. On others you need someone to push you onto the stage.
Gnight.
When you were born you held infinite promise.
You're older, you're all banged up by life.
But you hold that promise still.
KEEP GOING.
It may not be profound, and the hit-and-miss illustrations are what they are. The structure that works so effectively in daily social media bookends wears thinner when gulped down in a bound volume, but let's be frank: the draw is Miranda, and if his spirit is what attracted you, you will find what you seek.
Gnight.
Tomorrow we try again.
Rest up.
