Expectations.

I have expectations - of others, of myself.

And if they're not met, it ruffles my feathers and furrows my brows.

My faculties are packed to the brim with This and That and Those.

I cannot slow down nor shrug off a project or two as the cogwheels are still in motion.

Am I too hard on myself, and in turn, on others?

That perfectionist streak in me - a boost or a bane?
