Like the picture/outer mask I present to the world at large of who I am, with who I am on the inside.....those two need to be in closer sync as well. Opening up more rooms in the castle will help me see 'me' better, help me 'be' me more and better, and not be afraid to be me more openly and not be hiding so much of me......

I don't think we need to always be so open as to who we are. But we need to able to make decisions and act based on our true selves. I guess that's how we'll be more open in a way. Do we need to show people what's on the inside? Well, only those with whom we are intimate, I guess. But to the world at large? Not necessary.
"To Thine Own Self Be True" says Polonius in Hamlet (Shakespeare) - and that's what I think is important
