     @prettygood Yeah, I guess I've got at least three masks probably.

     @Will2Power each mask has a distinct face behind it. I know what you're saying, in other words.
     
     In one side, I'm a husband to my wife, doting and dedicated and caring keeper.
     
     In another place, at work, I'm a fucking dynamo, at once involved in every aspect of the business, and yet accountable only to one guy who wouldn't sell me out for all the money in the world, because I know his ugly secrets.
     
     At night, I put on the fuckin pink wig and tip back the cup and get some laughs, and drift into a zone, and maybe write some bullshit, and hopefully make people think a little bit, about the human condition or whatever.
     
     There are a whole lot of different me versions. They're all real, and all valid, just in different ways to different people. I think a lot of people really do actually live this way, they just aren't aware of it.

     @Will2Power I wish it were the case that there were only two of Me. That is to say that sometimes there's no way to stop one from bleeding into another, such that a separate one arises to stand in for the first.

     @dcc @Will2Power there's some bleed-through, don't get me wrong. At least one coworker knows my fedi handle. The fascia might be different, but the man behind it is still the same, and so are the values. In this way, I am true to myself. Different masks on the same face.

     @prettygood @Will2Power Makes sense, i know some people who change there tune on how they speak based off who what and where.

     @dcc @Will2Power tune, sure, that changes. But its the same band playing. I'm like the Seatbelts, every song is different and unique, but its still true.

     @prettygood @Will2Power Tune may not have been the right word, i meant mask. I think someones eyes really reveal the truth in a lot of cases.
