I hate the way, once you start to know someone, care about them, their behavior can distress you, even when it’s unreasonable and not your fault, even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.

Maybe some people just aren’t meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It’s like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that’s why they’re here. You’ll have that gift forever.

Talking Writing, Mental Illness and Turtles with Author John Green

Follow @johngreenwritesbooks on Instagram to keep up with John.

Author John Green (@johngreenwritesbooks) has been writing stories since he was a kid — but knows there’s still room to grow. “Writing isn’t something I feel good at — it’s something I want to get better at,” says John. “I really enjoy the process of trying to find a better way to communicate thoughts and feelings and experiences using scratches on a page. It’s a source of real joy for me.”

John’s most recent novel, “Turtles All the Way Down,” tells the story of a 16-year-old girl who struggles with mental illness. “Part of what has made my own mental illness challenging for me has been that I often feel extremely alone in it and isolated by it,” says John. “I hope the story helps people who are struggling with intrusive thoughts or anxiety disorders feel less alone in that.”

This fall, John and his younger brother Hank (@hankgreen) performed in cities across the United States for the “Turtles All the Way Down” book tour. Watch our story to catch up with them in the San Francisco Bay Area.
