Maybe it is who(m?) I have had to be, for a very long time. Or felt I had to be. Can people see underneath that for the reasons it exists, for the vulnerability that it reveals, if they look? Or is the revelation of vulnerability, the fact that it is partly hidden, too much? It means I am not perfect, and thus may not be safe to rely upon...
