Almost There

This may be one of the most iconic paintings around (and if you don't know it...I'm rolling my eyes at you right now!) it is also very symbolic of me and my life, right now. I feel like I'm almost there.
Almost. What a strange word. It can be used in almost every situation- see what I did there? ;) Almost done. Almost finished. Almost on time. Almost. After pushing and straining and struggling 'almost' seems to be the only word to describe it. When do I get to drop the 'almost'? I just want to be there. There seems like a good place. The people who are there, they made it through almost- and i'm jealous. I should be almost jealous, but almost doesn't work that way. The there-people, I wonder if they look back as us people stuck in almost and laugh. They sure as hell aren't giving advise or helping us! They must be having a party. I wonder if when I get there, will I join in the festivites? Or turn around and help pull some people free of almost.

I guess we'll never know, we'll have to wait and see. I can almost tell.
