The warning light was on for weeks. The breakdown just made it official.

Things rarely fail suddenly. There is almost always a stretch beforehand where the signs are visible and inconvenient to act on. The tiredness, the friendship that went quiet, the subject you stopped following in October. The collapse is not the start of the problem, only the moment it stops being deniable.

Name the light that is on for you at the moment, because you probably already know which one it is. Deal with the small version this week. The small version takes an afternoon; the official version takes a season.
