The centre or the periphery

A circle is deceptive. It doesn't give you too many options. You are either at the centre or on the periphery. And the distance between the two is as long as you want it to be.

The centre gets you noticed. You stand out. People are noticing you. You need to be at your best at all times. That's where, I think, people would finally want to be. But the centre can also get crowded. That's when you need to hold your own. Hold on to your position and get people to see you in the same light.

The periphery gives you space. It allows you to figure out how much space you need. The periphery lets you be. But the periphery can get lonely...

Moving from the periphery to the centre is natural. Abandoning the centre for the periphery is no child's game.

So, are you at the centre or on the periphery? Are you moving towards the centre or happy on the periphery?

If you on the periphery and see someone walking towards you, don't be scared. It's just me.

Na pramz! Its ok to move from the center to the periphery! Its defoinitely no childs game, but sometimes thats what makes sense! Not everyone would have the courage to get back. U jus need to make sure no one crosses u at the periphery, so tht the ones at the center will someday perish and then u would be the center, right there! Its jus a cyclic thing!
