i felt compelled to revisit my time post from a few months back. i said i live in a grey area floating between the past and the future, never in the present. i don't know why i was so against it. reducing something's significance is one thing, but denouncing its entire existance? the present is the axis from which the past and the future extend. i have realized that standing in the present it is like standing directly above the center of gravity of a moving object. the world feels like it is pivoting around you. yet if you were a few feet an any direction, you would be tossed around. the present is right in the center. i still live square in that grey area. i still can see the past and the future extending around me, and flow through it if i want too. but instead of floating randomly, i have realized the present needs my port of harbor, the constant landmark to keep everything in perspective. travelling in the present is just natural. it is the balance.
