Too much?
Have you ever gotten the feeling that people expect too much out of you? Have you ever tried to be the best friend/sister/girlfriend/co-worker, etc. that you know how, only for it to not be enough for someone? I have figured out that you can't please everyone, and it only hurts you to keep trying. I get the impression that some people think that you are supposed to automatically know what they are and are not thinking! Let's talk about it! Tell me what you think!

I feel you. I constantly feel that those close to me hold me to a higher standard than most, and frankly, its quite exhausting at times. But like you, I have learned that I can only give so much, and you can't always please everyone.
It is what it is. Live & Learn. Do what you can. (All cliche'... but all are fitting) I've figured out I can only be me. If I don't live up to your expectations then oh well. It's your problem and not mine. That's not to say, I don't feel anger, disappointment, hurt (or whtever other emotion) but all I know how to do is be Patrice. With all my eccentricities, moods, silliness, seriousness. And those who truly love & care for me don't mind me being me. And if they do care, then once again... not my problem.

I text you to see how your 1st day @ the new gig went! I assumed you were busy since you didn't respond.
