I find that this internal pressure starts to change you in uncomfortable ways, numbs feelings, messes with your values and judgment calls. It's hard to define, as is the slow accumulation of years. But it's also interesting, in a macabre sense, that I am finding that frontier, learning what '˜to long' means, what that looks like.
