I came across an interesting quote from one of my favorite authors:
“As life goes on it becomes tiring to keep up the character you invented for yourself, and so you relapse into individuality and become more like yourself everyday.”
The citation comes from her 1976 autobiography. It reflects an astute perception by a woman whose literary craftsmanship focused on the deceptions of her fictional characters. I particularly like the three words I've placed in the title of this post, and I have no doubt that I am more "myself" now than I was during the earlier phases of my social and professional life.
