For a long time I've wrestled with the whole costume party- having realized in my mid twenties that I am, in fact, in one. It's made me odd or strange (several guys have voluntarily told me I was "mysterious") unless I pretend my costume is real - and that theirs is too! Not a setup for the deepest rapport. As I was reading this essay and getting closer and closer to the end, I was eagerly awaiting what I'd find. I think I'd been secretly hoping for some special new and deeper insight, yet you say exactly what I "wrestle with" on a pretty regular basis ---> "Well, might as well go back to the party." It helps to know I'm not alone. haha

Really enjoyable post ... thanks!
My costume doesn't fit so well these days. 😉
Much appreciated!
Perhaps try adjusting the straps. 😁
