Lack of emotional boundaries and borders. Emotional security comes from within. Finding little emotional support from real people in your life. Learning to trust your own feelings. Can you trust your own feelings? Do your feelings mislead you? The prison of motherhood.  Ephemeral feelings. Walking through lost halls. Feeling ignored. Your emotions echo.

Finding yourself in unknown territory during an emotionally vulnerable state. ‘Let go, and let God.’

If you ever get close to a human
And human behavior
Be ready, be ready to get confused
There’s definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behavior
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there’s no map
They’re terribly moody
And human behavior
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions
Is ever so, ever so satisfying
Oh oh, and there’s no map
Human behavior, human
Human, human behavior, human
Human, human behavior, human
Human behavior, human
And there’s no map
And the compass
Wouldn’t help at all…
― Bjork, Human Behavior (Moon in Scorpio 12th house)
