The place where you feel each grain of sand in that hourglass bringing you down swiftly; buried alive, your body aching stuck in this rut. There's only one push and all the charade falls, though it won't happen unless you set the tone, give that small nudge, leave ego and guilt aside! In a short while, you'll switch roles and it won't be easy to climb up the horse, ride out the storm without getting wet!
