for the fresh start that wasn't

for the thing you'll do tomorrow

for the ten more minutes

for the tweet you deleted

for people you miss

for bold text

for the sound of a pen on paper

for the friend you only see once a year

for reinvention

for the safe choice you regret

for the end

for the turbulence

for side projects

for the stray that followed you home

for the cafeteria

for the elevator conversation

for the gas station at midnight

for free trials

for the photograph you almost deleted

for the thing everyone remembers differently

for people who can't afford therapists

for the bad haircut

for the field trip

for doodles

for the mute button

for the voice you're forgetting

for the thing in the junk drawer you might need someday

for the coffee shop where they know your order

for the commute

for the sign you couldn't read

for people who rewrite the same sentence eleven times and go back to the first one

for the thing you grew into

for the failure no one noticed

for vows

for drafts that are never final

for the tree you climbed as a kid

for the blue hour

for the voice memo you can't understand

for wishlists that became plans

for the scenic route

for words you circled twice

for the pivot

for the thing you should have said

for handwriting that's almost calligraphy

for prototypes

for third thoughts

for the conversation you rehearsed

for the mid-life crisis

for receipts with ideas on the back

for the Oxford comma debate

for backseat daydreams

for the morning without alarms

for the wish you won't say out loud

for the relief

for the hello you weren't expecting

for the smell that brought it all back

for the gym at midnight

for the almost knowable

for the tattoo you want

for knowing the difference

for autocorrect disasters

for private

for the bus ride home

for 4am clarity

for the comeback

for the job you tolerated

for the moment before you speak

for people who tried yoga once

for the epiphany on the subway

for the ice on the windshield

for february

for the departure gate

for snow days

for the meaning of life

for former roommates

for the desert

for the thing you remember wrong

for the last word

for staying down a little longer

for the version of you that almost existed

for the coin in the fountain

for mockups

for the reckless risk

for the bathroom stall

for the charger you forgot

for homesickness for a place you've never been

for the bookstore

for the password you forgot

for infinity

for the playlist titled 'chill'

for the empty apartment

for weeds

for people who outline the outline

for apology-drafters

for the excitement of the blank page

for time zones

for the lyric you got tattooed

for people whose journal is just apologies to their journal for not writing

for the souvenir you regret

for the dandelion in the crack

for the thing you published too soon

for the email you drafted but never sent

for the calculated risk

for sticky notes on the monitor

for the river

for the crack in the sidewalk

for to-do lists that became wishlists

for the shortcut through the alley

for contradictions

for the date that wasn't a date

for italic feelings

for keys you can't find

for the thing you just deleted

for getting lost

for the thought you can't shake

for the ant trail

for margins of textbooks

for the writing about writing

for people who call it 'content' when they mean 'writing'

for people who sing in the car

for the voice memo

for the fort made of blankets

for the temporarily certain

for the habit you're breaking

for feature requests

for the unsubscribe

for people who only write in pencil

for the wish on the dandelion

for bus rides

for the inside joke

for reminders you ignored

for the door you left unlocked

for the hot shower

for the sound of typing

for the knock on wood

for the nap that made it worse

for the minute after midnight

for the poem you memorized

for the bedtime story

for dreaming in a different language

for stillness

for overthinkers

for the group chat

for the draft in your notes app at 3am

for the rewrite of the rewrite

for restlessness

for the fear of the blank page

for the reunion

for former bloggers

for the inside joke no one else gets
