1 hr confidence:

para todos

Explanation:
Não tinha amor suficiente para todos. A expressão em inglês vem do conceito de "distribuir para todos". Antes de chegar na última pessoa, faltava.

E também faltavam outras coisas: ("Never really enough of anything.") O comentário seguinte ("my aunts all went to a progressive boarding school in Ken.") tem tom irônico. Sugere que as tias aprenderam uma filosofia de vida estranha e progressista naquele colégio: ex. o amor é sinal de fraqueza, desprezável; ou, não precisa se preocupar, a natureza vai fornecer tudo.

Example sentence(s):

go around: to be enough for everyone
For women over 40 there simply aren't enough men their own age to go around, she says. She believes there's plenty of hope to go around.
