cautious is the word i would use currently - i'd almost say 'with a side of optimism' but that's too much - maybe like 'i see optimism on the menu at a glance but i don't really want to examine its ingredients too closely, much less think seriously about ordering it' - jealousy has got to go - getting past and over it and feeling like i have my own piece - enough pie to keep me warm at night, as it were - the tire provides protection and safety - insulation from consideration of getting too close - no need to overexpose - we'll see how it all develops
