How to use «Not quite» in context?

When I was younger, I thought that «not quite» meant that I was close to achieving what I wanted. I thought that «not quite» meant that I was on the right track. However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that «not quite» doesn’t mean anything. «Not quite» is just a way of saying that something isn’t perfect. Sometimes, it’s okay to not be able to achieve something completely. It’s okay to not be able to do something perfectly. As long as you’re trying your best, that’s what counts.

Omophagic

Synonyms:

herbivorous,
omnivorous.
