“I've been neglecting someone who depends on me.”
Neglect is not usually malicious, it's drift. You got busy, distracted, depleted. But someone in your orbit is tracking your presence whether you notice it or not. The correction is simple: show back up. No long explanation needed. Just return.
Your Practice
Contact or be physically present with this person today. Not a long message, a direct, simple act of attention. Ask one question about their life and give them your full focus for the answer. Then build a recurring reminder so the drift doesn't happen again quietly.
The Architects
