Almost. It makes me feel like a failure. I almost did it, but in the end I was too weak, too dumb, too small. Too worthless to be able to finish what I had started, to be able to do something important
Today I almost did my homework. I was almost late for school. I almost didn’t go to orchestra. I almost yelled at my mum. I almost argued back. I almost didnt finish my ICT exam. I almost finished my maths homework in the lesson. I did enjoy today.
There isn’t anyone alive I’m sure who has a love/hate relationship with the word almost. If you’re almost hit by a car or almost wrecked your bike, it is a word that you can easily love. If you almost won the lottery or almost married the person of your dreams it is a despicable word. I think it also sums up what can and can’t be done without actually having to utter the words, as in “the project is almost finished but we need some more time”. Words that soften the blow or project a not so total failure are valuable. I am almost convinced of this.
Don’t think. Just write. That’s what they say. I’ve never been very good at this. I want to, but I can’t. I’ve always been almost what I want to be– a writer, a friend, a daughter. A lover. I’ve never had a boyfriend. God, this isn’t prose. This is a journal. What am I doing? Almost doing it correctly. Haha. But still not quite. Almost only counts in horse shoes and something else. What does that even mean?
it was almost dawn when i noticed how wonderful he looked. the streaks of sunlight peaking over the hills were in his eyes and he was squinting. he was beautiful. i never knew him in that way before then, but almost. i had seen glimpses of it when he ordered chinese food and when he tried to dance.
He stumbled, buckling against the jagged cliff path. The sea swam in his vision a hundred feet below, waves churning black seaweed against the rocks. Shaking, he stood and took three faltering steps. He inhaled the sky. Almost a disaster… but here was perfect. Smiling, he stepped off into the wind’s embrace.
Almost, almost there, almost home. I run through the forst, rocks tearing at my bare feet. The trees were like towers, millions of eyes glaring at me through the leaves. I kept running. Almost there. I could see the end of the path, the end of the road. I could see grand mother’s home.
Almost is sometimes enough. We are not perfect, after all. And too much striving for ‘perfect’ leaves all too often with ‘not even close’. Almost, is almost always just enough.
She almost pulled it off. Wes and Carol were nearly fooled. She made the classic mistake of continuing to speak when silence would have served her better. A few more words she thought. Large words.
Well I think that it counts for something effort or at least try. yoda says there is no try only do. I’m not that into star wars but it has to mean something when someone takes the time to try and get something acomplished, A for Effort . Close but no cigar. Maybe next time. Try try again and AMEN!
Almost I say it often like almost there, almost not almost isnt satisfying nope not satisfying at all. Well thats pretty much all i have to say. I GUESS IM ALMOST DONE.
Through her gray scale vision, Thorn looked up at the white hot sun. “Days like this…” She murmured to herself. “Its days like this I feel as though I can almost reach it…” Her fingers stretched upwards as if to pluck the orb from its perch so high above.
I think I almost like going to school but not really. Almost sounds like Olmos, my friend. Almost is such a nice word with six letter in it, two vowels and four consonants. Almost? What is almost? Have you ever thought of that? It’s just almost a full word.
Almost is good enough almost never. Push yourself to the limit. But what is the limit? How do we know how exhausted, how drained, how overwhelmed we can get? The goal is to stop almost at the limit, even though almost isn’t good enough. Except in horseshoes, they say. But why only horseshoes? Isn’t curling almost the same?
almost made it
almost lost everything
almost but not quite enough
almost said i love you but didn’t
almost,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
almost there, getting close and will arrive soon. Or will achieve something soon. Almost done. making it most of the way but almost finished with a project. close to being finished and close to being completed with an action or deed that needs to be done
Almost wasn’t the same as complete, finished, or enough. It was like “almost” being pregnant. Either you were, or you weren’t. So when he said he was almost ready, what he was really saying was that he wasn’t ready at all, but he was too afraid to admit it.
So she smiled, pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth, picked up her suitcase, and walked out the door into the sunshine. She would never see him again, and she was okay with that. Or she was almost okay with that, but then she’d really be okay with it after a while.
close but no cigar
billowing hopes suffocate you, and yet not near enough to touch
reach out for something you can never quite embrace
invisible, transparent
projection of dreams
falling into the deep abyss of never quite enough
never
quite
enough
My life was always lived in the “almost”. Almost successful. Almost happy. Almost satisfied. Almost content…it has taken many years of thought, practice and emotional stress to no longer live in the almost but to live in the all the way!
The cursor blinked incessantly, as though taunting her to type. To fill the empty space with his name, select a random subject line and write a body words to express the stirrings in her soul without him. She went through these motions once, and almost… almost sent it. She was pleased she regained her senses. They were forbidden to communicate. But oh, how she longed to…
almost time to go go …almost one thing to say. another almost and another. then another and almost one more second to go. almost. no one will ever know. almost. whats that about?? almost. finish up your last one. almost done. fini.
almost is a weak word. It implies that you are not actually able to complete or accomplish. It is a way out of hard situations. Taking the easy way out. Almost also implies you are close to finishing.
Almost in love. To put it straight I am in love. But love to me means that she is in love too. Preferably with me. This is the missing point at the moment. Or she is just too shy to reveal her heart. Almost perfect. Perfectly almost.
I almost threw my computer against the wall. I really did. Because I hadn’t meant to unsubscribe from the mailing list but– lo and behold– I clicked the wrong link and everything went to high Hell and back and so I almost. Almost. Threw this two thousand dollar laptop against the wall. But I didn’t! Self-control. That’s the key here. That’s really the key.
I almost got away with it. If only there were no such thing as sniches. Some people just don’t know how to keep their mouths shut. Now i’m angry.
Almost made it to the end. Alost found my begining…..But in the end…..It was for nothing.
hobos are almost sucessfull. But they dont even earn minimum wage. Thats why they are hobos. sometimes though they get money from people walking by.
Almost. We are almost done with third quarter. This quarter has gone by so fast. We’re almost done with school for two hole months! Whoo!! Joy..(:
ALmost would be close to done or so close. Like you almost made it.
Almost. It makes me feel like a failure. I almost did it, but in the end I was too weak, too dumb, too small. Too worthless to be able to finish what I had started, to be able to do something important
It was just out of reach.
Her fingers strained, stretching to their fullest length. Only an inch a way, less, even.
“Come on,” she muttered, desperate to reach it.
She was almost there, yet not close enough.
Kicking out, she growled angrily and tried once again. Yet, it stayed persistently out of her grasp.

almost there…. barely there… getting there. but not quite yet.
goals not quite reached. destinations not quite breached. places about to be…
I almost went to the store today. Before I could get into my car I thought about the fact that he might be at that same exact store

For those, the most important thing in succeeding. Very rarely do people appreciate the value of thing learned upon the journey of almost.

not there yet
cant make it
reaching
straining
no! i’m done):
Almost, almost there, almost home. I run through the forst, rocks tearing at my bare feet. The trees were like towers, millions of eyes glaring at me through the leaves. I kept running. Almost there. I could see the end of the path, the end of the road. I could see grand mother’s home.
I loved him once. And I would have died for him; for us. But he went away…
We could have been happy.
We were almost happy.
Almost.
I have almost given up on Love, but I believe I will give it one more try:)
Almost there. Don’t know where. I almost care. Oh, look, a bear!
Almost is sometimes enough. We are not perfect, after all. And too much striving for ‘perfect’ leaves all too often with ‘not even close’. Almost, is almost always just enough.
gnashing at dreams
almost cutting out everything
like you cut a heart out of paper
i feel folded in half
and missing a piece of sanity
or insanity
but its always empathy
stuck to the edges

Like a cauliflower worm.
Eating away.

a foot outside home. a kiss interrupted by awkward placement. not quite.
