Mixed Feelings

Confidence levels oscillate...usually between the low, lower, lowest levels nowdays! The desire for warmth and love is held at bay with the fear of vulnerability. The need to withdraw is unacted upon, for practical and immediate reasons. I draw upon the equity I have built over the last few years, unsure of how long it will last. New places, new people, new feelings excite me, and also intimidate. Assumptions get questioned, and then quickly reaffirmed, which is unusual. The Capricorn ghost hovers. Baggage holds me back, and yet gives me strength.

So when someone asks me "Are you happy?", I am stumped for an answer. And have to settle for the ultimate cop-out cliche...it's a mixed bag.
