What is your centaur? The center of a person is the space where they decide they feel right. It is rather normal for a person to grow up and see that normal circumstance of that growing up as the norm. By no means is it the best or wrong or even fit, growing up circumstance is just familiar. We can define our center as the place of mentality and emotionality that “it always comes back to this”. That can be a delusional fallacy or one of self-loathing and no matter which way it is sliced, the fact is it’s actually a self-fulfilling prophecy and an enormous researcher bias observation. We have no real center, what we have are many moments and they can seem extremely similar to ones past as the human brain enjoys making patterns and convincing the psyche that it knows how to predict things. That is most notably and in majority, bullshit. We do get to pick our center if we so desire.
What we call our center can be negative and cause everything else to be overshadowed or it can be positive and everything else is just waiting. We can be junkies waiting for our fix, we can be athletes getting rest and enduring until another game comes up, we can be engineers and looking for another project. Of course, we can be constantly changing too… that is in fact an option. But what our center is defines our approach, attitude, and anticipation which all prep that which goes to us. This homeostasis is hard to change but not impossible. So pick wisely and feel free to plan and change that. We are bendy creatures and dynamic characters until we make ourselves otherwise.
