Today i was completing an exam for uni. one of the questions was about "as human beings we are embedded in this world not only physically, but spiritualy in time and in the past and also in language through mediated expression.
in every individual they have a core that core is the power they possess to be and to become. every person has a different view on what it is for them to live and exist. this makes us express the power we have to change differently
so basically what is at your core? what do you strive for in life what do you feel is your place. is it to have the best of everything or is it just merely to make it to the next day?
please put down how you feel about this.. i am very intrigued.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I'm not sure what my core is anymore. When I was young, I had big plans and dreams and goals for myself, and I thought through achievement of said goals, everything would be alright.
Unfortunately for me, it seems my constant pushing to achieve actually hurt me very much with the development of an eating disorder. So maybe those goals weren't my core.
Now I'm much older and have been drifitn for quite some time. I've dropped out of school, become a drinker and overeater, and still, underneath it all, this desire to achieve knaws at me. I need to find my center, my Godhead in all of this because I don't have any and feel terrible.
But right now I'm so caught up in my ED that I try to make it from day to day.
My core is my faith. I know that God loves me and I pray that he will give me the strength to become healthy.
Sorry for the cheezy metaphor, but it just popped into my head and seemed to apply.
My core... This is hard. My core is where I am most relaxed. It's when I can take things in stride and not be blindsided by little things. Part of the depression that came with my ED is that I freak out over tiny normal things. But sometimes I go away for a day or two and I'm away from my usual stress and I relax enough and I feel more centered and at home. That's when I am what I believe to be myself. In life I strive to figure out who I am and where my place truly is. This is a normal part of growing up, and I still have a lot of it to do. `
