Almost There vs The Real Thing

Telling the truth about what you want.

Pointing it out.

Saying "I want this".

Beeing truthful to yourself.

Good things right?

But I just found out that it also means turning your back to something.

Turning to something is automaticly turning away from something else.

Pointing out what you want is also telling the truth about what you don't want.

It's like standing in a candyshop. If you know exactly what you want, none of the other candy matter to you except the the piece (or pieces) that you are going to bring home and eat!

In my case the thing that I want vs what I leave behind is kind of tricky...

What I turn my back to is damn close to what I really want, but not quite there.

(It's like dark chocolat with seasalt but a different brand than the favorite.)

Why settle for the subsitute? I say; Never settle!

I say that but what I feel and what I want to scream out is not always the same as what I know is the right thing to do.

I know that I could never settle for the "almost there", "almost it" even if I can fool myself to do it for some time. But sooner or later the urge for "the real thing" takes over. And it's my belief that if I'm fully stuffed with "almost" the real thing have no place to fit in to.

It would be like eating two bars of chocolate. The first one might not be what you longed for. But if you eat it, and then eat the one you was really urging for... you will get way to full. And the second one will probably not taste as good as if you hadn't ate the first one?

In the middle of turning my back to Almost and waiting for The Real I feel restless.

Maybe I could hang out in almost-land for just a little bit longer before I start the journey to the real?

Or could I?

Or could Almost be Real?
