If it’s any comfort, no one ever truly knows who you are, even if you wanted to be totally honest.

Everyone has a version of you they’ve constructed, no one has your entire perspective on your life and access to your inner thoughts, and even if they did they would forget or misinterpret details.

Don’t chase a desire to have people know the real you, they never will. Even if you had a new gay lover just because they know you’re gay doesn’t mean they know the real you.

And sometimes people don’t even know their own real self.
