Falling short

It feels like no matter how hard I am trying I keep falling short of the expectations of others I'm hurting not helping those I love And I can't seem to make anyone happy at work. Life goes by fast and it just isn't possible to please everyone and I would exhaust myself trying Doing my best, I am striving to be kind to others and be the best me I can be.
