You’ve been doing this your whole life without thinking. “That’s the guy I was waiting for.” “This is the song I’ve been looking for.” “That’s the money I worked so hard for.” See? It’s already a part of you. Acknowledging it just makes you feel a little smarter and a lot more relaxed.
The next time someone raises an eyebrow and says, “You just ended a sentence with ‘for’,” you can smile. You don’t have to argue. You can just say, “I know. It’s what people say. And it’s what I’m for.”
Okay, maybe don’t say that last part. But you get the idea. Embrace the natural, easy-going rhythm of your own voice. The word “for” is powerful, even at the finish line. Especially there. It’s simple, it’s human, and it’s exactly what the moment calls for.
