These days I'm far more picky with people and things. I have absolutely no patience any more with superficiality. I think maybe my condition had good deal to do with that. In some weird way it helps filter my life to such that I can enjoy what really matters while getting rid of what doesn't any more. So naturally growing older - or rather, having had more experience living - is also a great factor.
When we were younger we absorbed it all, good and bad. We weren't so discriminating, we constantly looked for new things, sometimes at whatever price. And now, at least for me, it's becoming a process of distillation. I have more information to work with than I had when I was 20. What I enjoy today has not diminished in quantity. Instead, I enjoy them through discernment. I know better, I know what's not better. And what's cool is that I want to find new things. If they're intensely or particularly new I may have to tweak my critical framework here and there to accommodate them so that I may enjoy them as best as possible.
I choose to live concentrically.
