effyeahnerdfighters:

Life is Weird. Also beautiful.

In which John Green describes his years-long relationship with Ransom Riggs, author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, which began with the James Joyce novel Ulysses and now includes the top two spots of the new York Times bestseller list.

“Professional lives, which take turns you can never imagine from lawyer to librarian, or from minister to vlogger, are important.  But that’s not what life is about.  Human life is really about relationships and communities.  When I think of my friendship with Randy I don’t think of this [best seller list], although it’s pretty cool; I think of us driving to the Grand Canyon with our friend Kathy.  I think of driving through the snow in Ohio and the endlesslness of Texas and watching the sunrise creep up the walls of the Grand Canyon.  And then I think of us 12 years later, walking around Los Angeles together, still taking pictures.  What a blessing.”

John Green is ceaselessly amazing.
