Almost Isn’t Enough

I heard this song one day while I was completing my Saturday morning activities nd got me thinking. Why is it that when things fail we put time nd effort to, we seem to have extra emotional distress?

The answer can be found in the title of this blog. See I get it, sometimes it’s said in life that if you come close to the best outcome but fall just short we should celebrate that result. Because many have attempted nd failed yo even reach that level.

I’m going to say maybe that works in ur professional life or on sum personal project ur working on. But when it comes to matters of the heart nd downfall of a relationship that concept doesn’t apply. When you get close to the ultimate goal u envision for urself nd fall short it’s actually devastating.

How many times have u truly thought u had that one only to have things unravel? Now of those times how many times did u just accept it nd say at least u tried? Now how many times did u have some distress nd pain because u thought this was it?

I completely understand the pain nd heartache that comes wit loving nd thinking that u have found the one that will share ur future for the 40 or 50 years or so, only to be devastated because close ain’t enough. The feelings u have are hard to comprehend or release. People will tell u they understand but u must move forward.

While u kno that’s the truth u sometimes just want to wallow in ur own feelings because u realize that u don’t know how many chances at love u will get. U know that the starting over process is time consuming nd sometimes faulty. All these things makes one realize that often times we resign ourselves to accept that we tried. But we still remember nd agonize over the fact that Almost Isn’t Enough.
