Few of us get the life we want.
Primarily because we have obligations to parties and people we'd rather not have too much to deal with if choice played any part.
Family can make demands you tolerate out of begrudging respect.
Employers think they can make unrealistic expectations and your refusal to comply can make worklife unnecessarily difficult.
And so we get stuck on these irritating merry-go-rounds trying to keep everyone else happy while losing sight of whatever it was that we thought we wanted.
