Who am I?

"I'm so glad I can stop pretending to be someone else, so I can go back to pretending I'm me again." -Luanne, King of the Hill

Perfect!

Choose

People don't really belong to each other, Joan, no matter what kind of contract they sign. They choose each other every day.

Being Myself

Last Friday at Marcie's I confessed that my secret fear about why I'm so involved in costuming is that I really want to be someone else. This was, after all, true for a long time (like wishing I was a boy) and I still struggle with it. Sometimes, when I consider how much time I'm spending on costuming (and sewing in general), the thought scares me and I wonder if I am getting completely out of balance.

Anyway, she thought a moment and reframed it brillliantly for me: How about, you're expressing the different sides of yourself!

So in a way, I'm really being myself... I'll take it!
