for the mute button

for finally writing it down

for food you pretend to like

for me

for former bloggers

for typos you left on purpose

for the lesson

for mockups

for the wave

for the stray you fed

for conspiracies

for quiet joy

for people who start every entry with 'anyway'

for the tattoo you regret

for code comments

for the siren in the distance

for the fix that broke something else

for almost-lovers

for this

for the leap

for the past you can't romanticize

for the job you loved

for homesickness for a place you've never been

for the charger you forgot

for the reckless risk

for the street that brought it all back

for the gas station at midnight

for the missed connection

for the chapter you reread

for the hiding spot no one found

for the bio you keep changing

for the film you've seen twelve times

for people you don't miss yet

for the bookmark folder called 'read later'

for version one

for the layover

for the scenic route

for reminders you ignored

for wildflowers

for the song from the other room

for the day after your birthday

for the wedding

for the last date

for the thaw

for the long weekend

for the hiding spot everyone knew about

for the umbrella you lent and never got back

for to-do lists that became wishlists

for backseat daydreams

for the forest

for the person who didn't hold the door

for the place you found by accident

for scribblers

for the reality that felt like a dream

for the face you're forgetting

for the double rainbow

for people who tried yoga once

for second thoughts

for the one who came back

for quiet rage

for the text you typed and deleted

for the cracked knuckle

for the pen that ran out of ink

for the held breath before jumping

for the recipe you lost

for the sound of pages turning

for the bed you can't sleep in

for cooks who don't use recipes

for the language you're forgetting

for the absence of anxiety

for the idiom that makes no sense

for handwriting that's almost calligraphy

for the spectrum

for the dry heat

for the self-imposed deadline

for the weekend with nothing to do

for coincidences

for the meaning of life

for the elevator conversation

for the unemployed

for the friend who texts back immediately

for the playlist for someone specific

for the recipe you invented

for the closet you haven't cleaned

for the DM you screenshot

for the scene you think about

for the almost knowable

for people who text in paragraphs

for the side project that became the main thing

for the browser history you cleared

for giving up gracefully

for people who only write in pencil

for the junk drawer

for the evening without screens

for free trials

for notebooks you never finished

for the weight on your chest

for the thing you said

for people who screenshot quotes instead of bookmarking them

for the almost truth

for the phone call you wish you'd answered

for the Wikipedia rabbit hole

for the alpha

for full moons

for the podcast no one listens to

for the overdraft

for the answer you're afraid to hear

for the pen you borrowed and kept

for the window you left open

for the thing you couldn't return

for the excitement of the blank page

for the moment after you speak

for the thing you should have said

for the library

for people between things

for the thought that kept you up

for the paragraph break that changes everything

for the words that haven't been written

for words you had to look up

for the garden you neglected

for angry tears

for leap years

for strangers on the train

for the avatar

for dinner for breakfast

for the door you left unlocked

for the rewrite

for run-on sentences that just keep going because you have so much to say

for the book you never finished reading

for the date that wasn't a date

for the alarm you set but didn't need

for the fort made of couch cushions

for the pet you grew up with

for time zones

for the poem you memorized

for the compliment you didn't believe

for the dead end

for the superstition

for the tree you climbed as a kid

for the spider you didn't kill

for complaints never filed

for getting lost on purpose

for the bird that sings just for you

for the dangerous choice you don't

for the tornado warning

for the knock on wood

for the used bookstore

for the bad haircut

for the thing you grew into

for the creak of the door
