Being wholly who you are has nothing to do with who *you* or anyone else wants you to be. It is literally being at peace with yourself and reflecting that self as unmasked as possible.
Those that wear a persona lie not only to the world but to themselves.
Society unfortunately rewards specific personas for what looks on the surface as a good reason but this is easily twisted. This is why most think they need/want to wear one. By doing so they gain a sense of advantage they would not gain otherwise.
Become who you are instead it is much easier and more rewarding.
