OUR OWN WEIGHT

Serious business.  We spend a lifetime being everybody and everything we're not.  And knowing it each time, by the end of it.  "I'm not being me," we say every time. 

The trouble is, we've known from the start who, what we are.  It's just that as we age, more and more layers of who we are not, what we are not, accumulate on us, like sweater upon sweater.  We reach a point where we collapse under our own weight.  We walk around in a perpetual state of collapse.
