In "Goodbye to All That"by Joan Didion, the lesson she is trying to communicate to the readers as she wrote "it is distinctly possible to remain too long at the Fair." is when someone is comfortable at a state of his life and takes time to get ready to push through with the future, it is okay. She is trying to say that "it's okay to move at your own pace".
