Sometimes, your best just isn't enough.

Sometimes it isn't.

Still gotta give it though.

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

True enough. Half assery rarely gets you anywhere.

How are you doing Tonks?

[pinkhairedauror.livejournal.com]

Wotcher, Harry.

AAAnd no. All the way or no way - at least for the things that matter. Has something new happened that's got you thinking it's not good enough?

Will you be coming next week (http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee309/rmoony/invite.png) by any chance?

::a faint smile::

Not especially. Just the general complications of everyday living. Or everyday life for me anyway.

\\Locked\\

I think I can make the trip. RSVP for three just in case, but I don't know that Jill will be able to make it. She hasn't been home much.

[pinkhairedauror.livejournal.com]

*nods* yeah, things happen. But... what goes down comes up eventually?

*locked*

*beams* Good! We'll be looking forward. It's... just going to be an excuse for a party, I think. *but one she's very happy about, so...*

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

Thats what they say. Can't rain all the time.

\\Locked\\

Any cause to celebrate is a good cause, but I'm glad to be invited. I value our friendship Tonks, blue hair pranks aside.

[pinkhairedauror.livejournal.com]

No. Besides, sometimes we can take shelter even when it's raining. And shelter those close to us as well.

*locked*

Oh aye! And of course. I value the friendship too, Harry. aside? I'd have thought those just added to my charm...

You can do everything right, and still be wrong.

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

It's a bitter pill to swallow isn't it?

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

Yes...

Should I ask?

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

It's not one particular thing really and it would take hours to catch you up on everything.

How bout you? Whats got you feeling like your best wasn't enough?

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

It would be easy if it were just one defeat.

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

Sounds like were in the same boat then.

Name's Dresden by the way. Haven't see you around before.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah...that's all too true sometimes.

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

It's not something I like to think about, but it is true and frustrating.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I hear ya.

I mean, I know it doesn't do any good to dwell on stuff too long but sometimes I can't help it.

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

Right. I don't think that anyone can go though life not getting down once in a while. It isn't as if I'm running around with a defeatist attitude, but sometimes the world is a frustrating place.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Neither do I. But yeah, I mean..it's not good just put up the white flag on life.

*nods* It is. And it's sometimes a scary place too.

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

Something tells me your in a stressful line of work. My job tends to point out some of the most scary aspects of the world too.

[john-h-holliday.livejournal.com]

"My greetings, sir. Dr. John Holliday, at your service." John bows slightly and politely and removes his hat. "I couldn't help but overhear your comment. It is tragedy though true that one's best is often not enough to accomplish what one must. But, whatever the outcome, one's best is one's best, and there is a clear and fine nobility in attempting to nevertheless reach beyond it to attain what one needs."

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

::He offers a nod to the stranger:: Dresden. Or Harry I suppose.

There is something to that. At least there are no regrets to be had when you give something your all. It's just a sobering thought. People, myself included, tend to like thinking if they put their mind to it they can do anything. Unfortunately, that isn't really the case.

[john-h-holliday.livejournal.com]

"No regrets. That is it exactly." John smiles, but with understanding rather than mirth. "One can surely do more with that mode of thinking than with one that assumes less. I do not know what tragedy has ensued, but you have my sympathy, sir."

[semi-auto-magic.livejournal.com]

It would be easier to fill you in, if it was just one thing. I suppose the personal failures weigh more heavily then the business ones.

[john-h-holliday.livejournal.com]

"Business is to allow one to fulfill one's personal concerns. Of course, the best business is when work becomes personal concern. But naturally it would weigh more heavily. It is that which is important." John is still attentive and his tone leaves the conversation open to reply. He is not so much stating as suggesting for consideration.

::The words seem to dig at a hidden pain, he hides it the best he can::

It's not really possible to keep your personal life isolated from your business, is it? No matter how hard you may try to. How you feel always spills into your job and how your job effects you always effects your personal life.

It's inescapable.
