I've done a lot of musing over the years about social masks, and when it is and isn't really necessary to hide your inner self. It is a recurring theme in my writing, actually. I'm gradually working on surrounding myself with people and situations where I can just *be*, and be accepted. And on learning who I actually am, and accepting and liking that person. It has been a bumpy road at times, but I'm liking the results. It has been a more gradual journey than your epiphany, though. It is cool to have a moment that you can point to like that.
