for the tattoo you want

for the date that wasn't a date

for the accent you lost

for the language you're learning

for finally writing it down

for version one

for the quarter-life crisis

for the past you romanticize

for anniversaries you forgot

for the PS at the end

for the window seat

for the beta

for the relief

for words you circled twice

for code comments

for the song that found you

for the rules you made up

for the friend you lost touch with

for presentations

for the accent you picked up

for the drive without the radio

for wireframes

for whispering in lowercase

for the menu you pointed at

for the day nothing happened

for the thing you overheard at the coffee shop

for the side hustle

for the sigh

for the forest

for the shortcut through the alley

for the first date

for the lesson you had to learn twice

for the laugh that turns into crying

for retirement

for the dry heat

for the habit you don't notice

for the minute after midnight

for the gold star

for the mask

for the sentence you keep rewriting

for moving day

for the ant trail

for the rewrite of the rewrite

for the book you finished in one sitting

for nostalgia for things that never happened

for the photo dump

for the pattern you're imagining

for the apology you're owed

for the quote you misattribute

for persistence

for private

for semicolons; used correctly

for you

for thinking in two languages

for the apology you owe

for full moons

for the book with someone else's notes

for apology-drafters

for the alarm you slept through

for the playground

for the name you chose

for people who open a blank doc and then check their email

for do not disturb

for the bathroom stall

for the tweet you deleted

for the apology you rehearsed in the shower

for the restaurant that closed

for the person you were

for holding on

for the comeback

for the alpha

for the box you haven't unpacked

for butterflies

for the day everything changed

for the town that never changes

for productive boredom

for the book you never finished reading

for the friend who texts back immediately

for the rewrite

for gratitude never expressed

for the job you got fired from

for margins full of notes

for the rent check

for the lost decade

for the decaf curious

for the lucky charm

for the password that's your ex's birthday

for the letter in the drawer

for lunch breaks

for the nod

for patterns

for the thing you grew into

for the feeling you can't name

for holding on a little longer

for the comment section

for the thing you published too soon

for the pen you borrowed and kept

for the departure gate

for origin stories

for the dead battery

for 2pm drowsiness

for the last day of summer

for the excitement of the blank page

for the wish on the eyelash

for the idiom that makes perfect sense

for the unblock

for the thing you found while looking for something else

for the baby

for the app you redownloaded

for the space between words

for the thing you found

for wildflowers

for the username you've had since you were thirteen

for the shower

for the mix CD

for the hour before dawn

for wishlists that became plans

for the map you needed

for staying down a little longer

for the library after hours

for adults who feel like kids

for former roommates

for the thing you said

for people between things

for the apology

for the future you imagined at fifteen

for the confused

for people who wrote a novel in their head on the drive home

for the field trip

for doing nothing

for the night light

for hunches

for the day after your birthday

for people you don't miss yet

for people who buy notebooks like they buy lottery tickets

for the habit you're building

for Friday at 4:58pm

for words you had to look up

for abandoned side projects

for the river

for prototypes

for the word that doesn't translate

for paradoxes

for extroverts who need to process

for the closet you haven't cleaned

for the silence after the question

for autumn leaves

for the pet you lost

for the phrase your grandmother used

for getting back up
