I have always felt like an alien or mis-fit with an accumulation of masks, and that was fine for many years...but then neither I nor anyone else has ever actually figured out who is behind them and that leaves me in a rather lonely place -- no sense of belonging anywhere -- now that I am too old to wear any of them. A solution for that could be found in some sort of mis-fits' club or whatever, but the wearing of masks is too tempting or distracting for most who would be eligible for membership.
