Meaning and Interpretation

😥 So basically this is for when something bad almost happened but didn't, OR something happened but could've been way worse. Like when you almost miss your flight but make it, or your test score is 59 but the teacher bumps it to 60. You're like 'damn, that was close' and 'whew, I'm ok' at the same time. It's that mixed bag feeling - not happy exactly, but not devastated either.
