Present, But Preoccupied You are here, but not really here. Your mind is elsewhere. You don’t think that the people around you notice it. They do. You don’t think that it is hurting your relationships with them. It is. Disinterested. Disengaged. Distracted. You are an emotional vortex as your mind drifts deep into thoughts elsewhere. Present, but preoccupied. […]
