I once read that "almost" is an awful word.
I almost made it in time.
I almost achieved my goal.
I almost was the one for him.
Almost, yet not close enough.
So as I sit here, and I've almost been and done a lot of things.
I think to myself about it in a different light this time,
I think that maybe almost isn't so bad.
Maybe it just depends on what we do with that almost, that's what actually matters.
Maybe next time, we leave an extra five minutes early.
Maybe next time we use our failures and learn from them, bringing us that much closer to our goals,
And maybe we realize that almost being "the one" isn't so bad after all.
Because maybe everything really does happen for a reason and that "almost" is a sign that we have potential, we just need to try again
And maybe that'll be enough reason for us to do so
To turn that "almost" into something that's so much more.

The Potential Of Almost
Maybe almost isn't as sad of a word like we once thought.
