I really like good post titles. Good here = short and inyourface. No need for pussyfooting. (According to my husband, the feline star of the story Puss in Boots is a bastard. He realized this reading aloud to our daughter the other night.)
At first I was going to call this "Retraction." But let's face it. "Retraction" would work for a dire film or maybe a dire anti-aging product by Revlon, as in
Retraction: Take the Days Away, One Line at a Time
Anyway, I glanced over my posts just now and realized that it sounds from my last one like I didn't mean all the preceding ones. So let me be clear: I did. When I said I was 'playing a part,' I intended that to mean that I've been employing one of my very real personas, but not scripting and editing myself toward my more public persona... hopefully that makes sense...

After having a "shopping girl" persona for a newspaper column I penned for three years, I learned that at some point the real you gets tied up in the persona. Once the persona is gone (or you quit the job, as I did) there's an unexpected identity crisis that occurs. I guess I wouldn't have made a good actor, getting overly attached to characters and such.
