Every day I hold a stranger's life in the narrow space between too little and too much, watching monitors for the smallest sign that something is turning. From the outside it looks calm, and the paycheck looks good, so no one sees the toll of never once being allowed to look away. After a career of that vigilance, I'm realizing it took something from me that never showed up on any statement.
More people experience this than they realize.
A career of unrelenting vigilance holding lives in your hands has quietly cost you more than anyone ever saw.
