"i can only do so much" a phrase i hear being said at work often. a kind of resignation to the fact that no matter how you wish you can be a superhero to be able to attend to everything at the same time but is never possible. its true, that no matter how dedicated and committed you are to your work, it is also a reality that the volume of work right now compared to those during the beginning of the company is really not comparable. i can only shrug my shoulders and reason out that i am no superhero but i will surely give my best to maximize what little time i have for the day.

i think the same thing goes for relationships. no matter how much you want to work things out, if its going to be a one-way street then you can bet that it will never do. if you have been always there for a friend in need, and still you go unnoticed, there's not much you can do but let your friend discern when is the right time for you to be there. if you have done things to the point of being foolish for the sake of love and yet your efforts seem fruitless then its time to learn to accept....that you can only do so much.
