It always fascinates me when people write entries like this. Truly. Because so rarely is the person writing really pretending to be anyone else...at least, so far as I can tell. As you've said-- it's an exercise in concealment. But what is it you've concealed? If I can stretch my mind back to the Existentialism class...I think that the term is "present to hand". All that you've just mentioned is interesting, and can explain many things about you-- but it doesn't necessarily add up to being the truest version of you. The "ready to hand" does that (I might be mixing up those two). Your writing, your thoughts, the moment-to-moment without needing explination.
The sky is blue today, correct?
No, if you want to be technical-- it's just the way the light...etc, etc, etc.
But that's the technical, "present-to-hand" explination for the sky being blue, right? Blue is, in fact, the name we people have produced for that same series of reflections and equations, right?
Thus, unless you've been claiming lies, you've been yourself all along.
