Roles

The social roles we play.

Never forget that you’re just playing a role. If you take that role too seriously, to the point that it becomes your identity, you can feel like your life is literally over if you somehow lose that role.

I came to see that my job was just a role that I was playing—an important role, of course, but not what defined who I am.
