For those brave souls that go out as the world may not expect to experience you: what is the importance of that for you?

I suppose I mean to ask was the realisation of an ideal self for others important for the strength of your identity but would love to hear all the ways it was important - like maybe it was it arousung or was it just the sense of freedom?

Was it at all a holiday from the actual self within. Did you foget yourself at all?
