almost …

October 23rd 00:49am — random thoughts during an 8-hour flight

Almost win, almost lose

Almost survived, almost defeated

Almost. Almost…

“It’s never enough,”

says those who chase after a full life.

“It’s more than enough,”

says those who had a bruise with death.

A half measure, yet also total relief.

A pre-mature state

mature nonetheless,

eventually.

1, 2, 3.. tick, tock, tick, tock…

count your almost’s, memories unlocked.

Travelled back in time trying to pinpoint moments lived.

Some were painful,

but there were no regrets, only grafetul.

Some were nerve-wrecking,

but still worth celebrating.

But eventually you’ll learn

a thing, or two…

Moments that frustrate you the most,

are when your faith is forged.

Moments that bring you down to your knees

are when humility is shaped.

Moments when you embrace everything

are when gratitude is birthed.

In the almost’s

God was in the midst

of it all.

No what if’s, no but’s, none.

When crippling thoughts creep up and lurk at the corner of my mind, I remember these words..

“You are more than an almost…”

“You are never too much,

and you’re always enough.”
