split personality

walking home from a friend's I have to accept that I am 2 separate people - the person I am in my life in Denver and the person I am when I come back to NYC to visit my family and the few old friends I still have. and that the real reason that I didn't move back here over 8 years ago is that I became a different enough person while in grad school that I didn't know how to be this new person in this old place.
