We dont like to give up.

So we have a go at be flexible.

We come up with new methods and semi-solutions to bring us a little closer to what we want.

We tend to do this the most when it comes to our relationships.

Its easy to notice that weve created different types of labels to fit out needs.

We have one-night stands and hookups; we have casual relationships and serious relationships.

But what about when what you want and what they want doesnt see eye-to-eye…but you want themanyway?

You start settling for the gray and complicated minefield of almost.

You dont fit into the molds that youve come up with.

Youre not a one-night moment, or a few hookups and followed by a full-fledged disappearing act.

I know it seems like almost is better than nothing because it feels so close.

You continue to hold a death grip on the good times and say it is better than nothing.

Almost is never good enough because its a silent narrative saying, Youare never good enough.

Its a reminder that you may be wonderful, but that some people simply want something different.

Because you deserve more than to be almost happy.

Almost in a relationship.

You deserve to have all of those things, to the fullest extent of your heart.
