Never Good Enough

I always thought that if others have expectations of you, it's a good thing. It means people expect to see great things out of you. It's a good thing.

I just wonder if sometimes people come to know that the person is already his or her greatest critique? I know it's critique that creates improvement but why do people expect things out of certain people that they don't expect from others? Do people ever realise that perhaps alongside critique, encouragement is also necessary? Do people ever realise that the never ending road of being something better and more can sometimes hurt? It's almost like the person without all that improvement does not deserve goodness, is not lovable.

After you get better at something, there's just something more. Everyone wants improvement, but at what price?

Never being good enough hurts. It really does.
