My wife works as the Children’s Librarian at our local library.
She dresses up for Halloween. This year she dressed up as a pirate.
When I left the house this morning (with no costume!) I jokingly said this Halloween I was going to dress up as myself. Sometimes those off the cuff comments are the most revealing. What would I look like/feel like/act like if I was able to take off all the masks I wear and the layers of expectations and perceptions which I put on and which others put on me?
That is a hard question.
I have worn this costume for a long time.
Sometimes I remember it is just a costume.
Other times the costume is me.
Unraveling one from the other is hard work.
