“This one’s for the Google Doc graveyard crew.”

This is for the people with a whole cemetery of half-finished ideas sitting in their drive. The drafts that started strong at 2 a.m. and never made it past paragraph three. The outlines that looked brilliant until the next morning. The titles you swore were genius but now feel like they were written by a sleep-deprived raccoon.

You know exactly which ones I’m talking about.

There’s something strangely comforting about those forgotten files. They’re proof that you were trying. They’re snapshots of moments when you believed in something, even if only for a minute. Not every idea has to grow into a full project. Some are meant to spark something in you and then fade out once they’ve done their job.

Still, it’s easy to feel guilty when you look at that long list of abandoned drafts. Like you should’ve finished more. Like you should’ve had the focus or energy or clarity to make them into something real. But maybe the graveyard isn’t a failure. Maybe it’s a record of how your mind moves, jumps, shifts, and grows.

Every unfinished thought taught you something. Every abandoned draft pulled you one inch closer to the kind of ideas you actually stick with. And honestly, there’s nothing wrong with having more starts than finishes. It means you’re thinking. It means you’re curious. It means you haven’t stopped trying.

So here’s to the graveyard crew. To the documents that never made it. To the people who create more than they complete. Keep writing. Keep saving random thoughts. Keep letting ideas show up, even if they don’t stay.

The messy part counts too.
