Masks, roles: we never get rid of them. Maybe years of meditation, or of analysis would strip them away. Right now the Guggenheim Museum in NYC has an exhibit of Aztec art and one of the pieces shows a face being un-wrapped from two other faces that cover the orginal face. I think it is on the Guggenheim website--better if you are in NYC go to see the exhibit before it leaves town.
I am an old man--at least much older than you. I am lucky enough to have retained many friends from my high school days. When we get together all masks that life has painted upon us are stripped away. We know each other as the real boys we once were. We can breathe again, without restriction, and laugh, and find our essential honest selves again.
