- Almost grown up
- Almost acceptable
- Almost in love
- Almost brave
- Almost enough
- Almost free
- Almost successful
- Almost healed
- Almost a mom
- Almost clean
- Almost recovered…
And so on and so forth… a seemingly perpetual state of being almost there.
It is hard to look back at this compressed version of my list of almost’s and not feel like an absolute failure. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever see anything come to fruition. Maybe I’m meant to be in this incessant experience of only “approaching” my goals and dreams so that I can encourage and help others get past their “just-about-there’s” to embrace their own truths… and I will try to do just that. And, I will also continue to move towards my destination, whether running or stumbling – I do believe that one day I will reach the finish line.
