I feel that in my later years I strive to present a friendly cheerful persona to all, because I am that.. But my deeper self with its anxieties, fears and loneliness remains hidden and I think that my friends and close ones have just this one sided and incomplete image of me
Strong Image... visually juxtaposed just as you verbally describe it
Interesting alignment. We all have a private side, and a blind side too. Hugs
