Don’t Lose Your Keys in the Bar

Becky does not mean this literally.
She never does.

If you are old enough to be in a bar, you are old enough to look after your keys.
And if you can look after your keys, you can look after yourself.

The keys are just proof.

They are small, ordinary, and easy to lose.
So is your sense of judgment, if you’re not paying attention.

Becky believes adulthood shows up in quiet ways.
Not in what you say.
In what you keep track of when no one is watching.

Losing your keys is rarely about the keys.
It is about letting the evening run you instead of the other way around.

Enjoy yourself.
Have the drink.
Tell the story.

Just don’t forget the part where you get home on your own terms.

If you can keep your keys, you can keep your life from drifting.
