She is who I want to be.
He is who I am.
Split personalities, performances, instead of a synchronized whole.  In my quest for the organic, I find myself playing roles.  Which is to say, changing parts instead of continuing in my traditional performance.  I "go into character" and I smile and I'm sweet and I'm a wry bitch and I love it and I switch to stale and I find myself wanting to protect her, to save her, to not let her be tarnished by this imperfect reality.

But, then, if it's her or me, I don't know if I have much choice.
