for the playlist titled 'chill'

for the long way around

for the laugh that turns into crying

for the calculated risk

for the name you chose

for the thing everyone remembers differently

for the last day of summer

for the silence that says everything

for anniversaries no one else remembers

for restlessness

for the stars you drove an hour to see

for the silence between old friends

for the budget spreadsheet

for the squirrel outside the window

for the thing you grew into

for the argument for both

for the name you were given

for the house you grew up in

for shipping

for the numbness

for the drive without the radio

for the grocery store at 11pm

for the bad haircut

for the bookmark folder called 'read later'

for intrusive thoughts

for homesickness

for the coffee shop where no one knows you

for the bathroom stall

for the feeling you can name but won't

for blindsight

for reheated coffee

for people who think faster than they type

for the game you invented

for the film you can't rewatch

for people between things

for the reunion

for the fish tank

for the thing you lost

for the bottom bunk

for the recipe passed down

for the bird that sings just for you

for whispering in lowercase

for the last date

for the silence after the music stops

for new year's resolutions

for the souvenir you regret

for the photo dump

for the thing you're not ready to write

for the thing you built in a weekend

for moving day

for almost-lovers

for the thing you saved up for

for notes-to-self

for the thing hiding in plain sight

for the finsta

for drafts that are never final

for the present

for the things you can't undo

for 4am clarity

for the evening without screens

for the dead end

for the gas station at midnight

for the bird at 5am

for the commute

for your past self

for people who start every entry with 'so'

for public

for sticky notes on the monitor

for the chapter you reread

for the comment section

for strangers who smiled at you

for the lesson you still haven't learned

for the last word

for homesickness for a place you've never been

for everyone

for hospital waiting rooms

for the unblock

for the exhale

for people who have strong opinions about em dashes

for the thing you found while looking for something else

for people who narrate their life in their head

for ghost stories

for the group chat

for the headache

for the scar with the story

for origin stories

for the map you needed

for the menu you pointed at

for the thing you found

for the elevator conversation

for the answer you're afraid to hear

for the superstition

for the crayon drawing on the wall

for Friday at 4:58pm

for nuance

for the conversation through the wall

for the false alarm

for the writing about writing

for the shortest

for the small talk that became deep talk

for the dream you can't remember

for the tree you climbed as a kid

for margins full of notes

for the goodbye

for cooks who don't use recipes

for the waiting room

for the window you can't open

for the hoodie you'll never return

for the apology you're owed

for the film you watched alone

for the visa denial

for grocery lists that became poems

for Tuesdays

for the pause

for the thing you outgrew

for the tattoo you want

for people you miss

for the thing only you remember

for the gap between thoughts

for the road trip

for the idiom that makes perfect sense

for the stray that followed you home

for the meal without your phone

for the gym at 6am

for the thing you bought on impulse

for early risers

for the restaurant that closed

for the birthday wish

for the space between words

for the version of you that exists in your own

for the hug that didn't last long enough

for the laugh that comes from nowhere

for dreaming in a different language

for handwriting that's almost calligraphy

for the first day

for cursive

for the song from the other room

for the thank you that came too late

for the weekend with too much to do

for the draft in your head

for rough drafts

for italic feelings

for airplane mode

for nightmares

for the golden hour

for the lullaby

for the umbrella you lent and never got back

for the weekend with nothing to do

for hindsight

for the accent you picked up
