English term or phrase: laying square in my thoughts the primal question
It’s said that being a mom is a full time job. For me, while I loved the indescribable feeling of being with my small baby, I also felt a constant nagging in my heart. So strange it was that I just could not quiet down nor celebrate, even amidst the joy of motherhood. I knew I was where I was supposed to be as a mother, but I also knew something else very persistent was summoning me, beyond motherhood. It was as if I was being gifted with a peek at what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Only a peek, though, a frustrating peek. It kept nagging me around the edges of my joy, laying square in my thoughts the primal question: What career path should I follow?

planteándome directamente la pregunta primordial


Explanation:
Creo que es importante la traducción de "square" que aquí tiene la función adverbial de "squarely"

squarely adv (directly, full on) directamente adv
de frente loc adv
de lleno loc adv

La traducción literal sería "poniendo directamente ante mis pensamientos la pregunta primordial"

Haría una traducción más libre, por ejemplo:

- "planteándome directamente la pregunta primordial"

- "poniéndome cara a cara con la pregunta primordial"

- "enfrentándome con la pregunta primordial"

La frase completa podría ser: "Merodeaba sin descanso en torno a mi alegría poniéndome cara a cara con la pregunta primordial"
