Coffee-stained teeth.
Little ravines at the outer corners of your eyes.
A red wine splotch on the brand-new couch.

Baby announcements from childhood pals.
Dancing badly at weddings.
A damn good cry.

A vodka-drenched kitchen to clean after hosting your best friends the previous evening.
Attending funerals of the people youll always love.
Mascara marks you cant get out of the pillowcase.
Forgetting to check your phone.
Seeing your parents as the imperfect humans they are, and loving them more for it.
Giggling as you leave the hot server your number.
Getting lost in a book.
Losing your way on a road trip.
Getting home later than you wanted to because you didnt feel the time pass.
Bygone conversations with Lyft drivers, grocery store clerks, the mail lady.
Letting go of the things that arent meant for you.
Understanding youll never have all the answers, but continuing to ask the questions anyway.
