"Is there any word more devastating in the English language than “almost”? Just about, but not quite. So close, yet never to be. Practically, but not actually. Thought it would, but it didn’t. We all have that person, the one who got close enough to be The One but who wasn’t. The one we though we’d spend forever with but really only had limited days with. The one who we still think about late at night, or on an old anniversary, because damn were we sure that they’d be it. Someone who is your ‘almost’. Some people’s ‘almost’s are people they were meant to leave or never be with, because they deserved better or because they needed them to find their ‘definitely’. But for others, people like me, their ‘almost’ is a love lost too soon, a bridge in ashes that they never thought would burn, a departure that they didn’t see coming, a story that they never wanted to end but got to the last page eventually. ‘Almost’ is such an awful word, because it symbolises what could be but will never quite be, whether it’s due to our own damn faults or the universe’s tricks. We all have that ‘almost’, and more often than not, our ‘almost’s are the stories we tell our kids when they come home heartbroken for the first time, the memories we are still reliving in a nursing home 60 years later, the person we know we should forget and move on from but can’t because they came so close to being everything. ‘Almost’; doesn’t that word haunt you, too?"

I want to see a reality tv show where straight dudes have to read the shitty messages they send to women to their mothers.
to catch a redditor
better yet, the mom reads the guy’s texts to him so he can feel as uncomfortable hearing them as the women had felt receiving them
SOMEONE START THIS SHOW IMMEDIATELY
