for the thing you googled at 3am

for people who type faster than they think

for the tab you've had open for weeks

for the apology you owe

for recurring dreams

for the empty apartment

for the last date

for Saturday mornings

for the thing you didn't say

for letter-writers

for the growth everyone else can see

for the thing you should see a doctor about

for the shortest

for HACK comments

for the unsubscribe

for the solstice

for the phone call you avoided

for people who talk to their plants

for the cry that turns into laughing

for the bathtub

for paragraphs that won't end

for the exhale

for the missed connection

for the fix that broke something else

for eclipses

for the thing you published too soon

for the silence between strangers

for the documentary that changed you

for happy tears

for getting lost

for the job you loved

for the job you tolerated

for Monday mornings

for the bug you can't reproduce

for the part you're in right now

for requited feelings

for what's past the edge

for the birthday wish

for the creak of the door

for the dry heat

for not shipping

for the person you are when no one's watching

for the side hustle

for the fist bump

for vows

for free trials

for joy

for the street that brought it all back

for the lost decade

for the account with zero followers

for the thing you've been building for years

for the last day at the old place

for the garden that grew anyway

for the podcast no one listens to

for the thing you couldn't return

for the scene you think about

for wishlists that became plans

for sticky notes on the monitor

for the question you're afraid to ask

for the evening without screens

for notebooks you never started

for renewed vows

for the slide you skipped

for people who only write in pencil

for the gap between thoughts

for the hello you weren't expecting

for the sign you couldn't read

for the dandelion in the crack

for small talk

for the sleepless

for the hoodie you'll never return

for the goodbye you didn't get

for the productive procrastination

for the superstition

for the photograph that doesn't match your memory

for the thank you

for getting lost on purpose

for middle children especially

for homesickness

for the crack in the sidewalk

for the bookmark you'll never revisit

for the word on the tip of your tongue

for the walk home

for thinkers

for the perfect temperature

for homesickness for a place you've never been

for the confused

for the dream that felt real

for the name you were given

for rage

for typos you left on purpose

for the conspiracy theory you half believe

for the overdraft

for the tip you left anyway

for the post you archived

for the draft on your phone

for the sentence you keep rewriting

for the draft in your notes app

for hospital waiting rooms

for broken vows

for the commute

for the first rain after a drought

for the laugh that turns into crying

for reply guys

for the rainbow you almost missed

for the relief

for anniversaries you forgot

for shipping at 2am

for the library

for the empty nest

for the middle

for the self-imposed deadline

for the first sentence

for paradoxes

for the small talk that became deep talk

for the name you chose

for the thing you found while looking for something else

for the recipe passed down

for the friend you lost touch with

for the lesson you had to learn three times

for blindsight

for the gas station at midnight

for the walk without headphones

for the finsta

for reinvention

for the demo that crashed

for the blank slate

for em dashes—

for the souvenir you regret

for the group chat that never sleeps

for scope creep

for the thought that woke you up

for the rooftop

for reheated coffee

for the eulogy you hope someone writes

for the intentionally offline

for the person who didn't hold the door

for the grocery store at 11pm

for backseat daydreams

for the full apartment

for the crossed fingers

for your future self

for boredom

for shipping too early

for the deep breath

for the notification that changed your day

for the bug that reproduces every time

for the mirror you avoided

for the cafeteria

for the box of old photographs
