    When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
    it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, very good blog!

    logical. But, think about this, suppose you typed a catchier post title?
    I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a headline to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean Behind the mask – Parvin Parlan is kinda plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s
    front page and see how they write article headlines
    to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get readers
    interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more

  30. Rachel Reeves will tomorrow sign off funding for the Sizewell C nuclear power plant
    – more than 40 years after it was proposed.

    The Chancellor will announce £14.2billion to pay for a new reactor
    at the site in Suffolk, with the plant eventually powering 6million homes.

    The funding will be included in her comprehensive spending review, which was finalised
    last night after a bitter row with Yvette Cooper over police funding ended with
    the Home Secretary having to accept the Treasury’s terms.

    Sizewell C was first proposed in 1982 and, after years of paralysis, was given the green light by the Tories in 2022. 

    Ms Reeves will also confirm a £2.5billion investment in nuclear fusion research,
    while government sources said ministers would press ahead with proposals for ‘mini’ nuclear plants
    around the country. The Treasury said the funding would help create 10,000 new jobs.

    Labour ministers are urged to reveal true cost of
    building Sizewell C

    The last time Britain completed a new nuclear plant was in 1987, which was Sizewell B.
    Hinkley Point C, in Somerset, is under construction but not expected to open until 2031.

    Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said last night: ‘We need new nuclear
    to deliver a golden age of clean energy.’

    But Alison Downes, of the Stop Sizewell C
    group, said the plant was a ‘white elephant’.

    The Prime Minister’s spokesman said: ‘The review is settled.
    We will be focused on investing in Britain’s renewal so that all working people are better off.’

Behind the mask

In a sunny city, there once lived a boy—full of life, kindness, and endless curiosity. He was the kind of boy who could never sit still, always looking for the next adventure, always eager to explore the world around him. He stood up for people, no matter who they were. It didn’t matter if it was a close friend being bullied or a stranger on the street facing injustice—he would step in, often before he even had time to think about it. People admired him for his courage, for the way his eyes sparkled with hope and fearlessness, the way he always seemed ready to take on the world.

But what people didn’t see was the quiet longing that simmered beneath his bravery. For all his boldness, he carried a loneliness within him, a desire to belong, to be truly understood. And there was something else—something that changed him, though he never spoke of it. As he grew older, this longing deepened, though it was more than just the desire to fit in. Something had happened, something that made him question whether being seen was worth the risk. He had opened himself up once before, and somewhere along the way, it had hurt him. So, he chose not to talk about it, not to let it show. Instead, he found a safer way to navigate the world.

That’s when he found solace in the theater. It became his escape, his refuge, a world where he could disappear into roles that weren’t his own. On stage, he didn’t have to be the boy everyone knew, the boy who always smiled and always seemed to have it all together. On stage, he could be anyone—a villain, a hero, a lover, a stranger. He could let the emotions of these characters wash over him, allowing him to feel things he couldn’t express in his own life.

But of all the roles he played, there was one that resonated the most deeply: the role of a man without a soul. It wasn’t just a character in a play to him; it became a way to cope, a way to hide the parts of himself he was too scared to show the world. The role gave him a strange kind of comfort. As long as he was pretending to be someone else, he didn’t have to face his own fears, his own vulnerabilities. He didn’t have to ask himself who he really was or what he really wanted. The mask let him be present but absent at the same time—seen, but never truly known.

Years passed. He grew older, and the theater became his second home. It was where he felt most in control, most comfortable. But the roles he played—especially the one without a soul—started to take on a deeper meaning. He began to feel as if the mask wasn’t just a character on stage anymore—it was part of him. For years, he convinced himself that he was safe behind it, that it was better to hide, better to shield himself from the world’s judgment and rejection. But as time wore on, something began to gnaw at him. The emptiness he thought he could keep at bay started to grow, slowly and quietly, but undeniably.

There were nights when he would lie awake, staring at the ceiling, feeling the weight of it all press down on him. He wondered if people would still admire him if they really knew who he was. Would they still care for him if they saw beyond the roles and the confidence, beyond the masks he had been wearing for so long? Or would they turn away? Would they see him as weak, as broken? The fear of being vulnerable kept him locked in this cycle. It was easier to be someone else. Easier to play a part. Easier to hide. But easier didn’t mean better. And deep down, he knew that.

The years passed, and the theater continued to be his sanctuary. But one day, unexpectedly, the play that had become his home for so long was canceled. The final performance ended, and the theater lights dimmed for the last time. As the applause faded, so too did the character he had lived through for so many years. For the first time in what felt like forever, he found himself standing on an empty stage, staring out at the vacant seats. There was no audience, no applause, no role to play. And for the first time, he felt something he couldn’t quite name. It wasn’t relief, but it wasn’t grief either. It was something in between—a hollow kind of confusion, a sense of being untethered.

The next day, the director, a man who had seen him grow from a young boy into the actor he had become, called him in for a conversation. The director was a quiet, observant man, the kind of person who always seemed to know more than he let on. “We need to talk about your future,” he began gently, seeing the uncertainty in the actor’s eyes. The actor, feeling a knot tighten in his chest, replied, “What role do you have in mind? I don’t think I’m fit for anything else.”

The director paused, considering his words carefully. Then, with a kind smile, he said, “This time, you will play yourself.”

The actor stood there, frozen. Himself? The idea hit him like a wave, overwhelming and confusing all at once. His mind raced, searching for meaning, for something to hold onto. Who am I without the roles? he thought. Who am I without the masks, without the lines, without the stories that have always guided me? The director’s words echoed in his mind, but instead of clarity, they only stirred more questions.

He left the theater in silence, his footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. As he walked through the city streets, a whirlwind of thoughts rushed through him. He had spent so many years being someone else—on stage, in life, everywhere. How could he just be himself now? Who was he, really? Without the masks, without the characters to hide behind, what was left of him?

He felt lost. More lost than he had ever been. And for the first time, he had no script to follow. No lines to memorize. No character to become. He wandered through the city aimlessly, trying to figure out what the director’s words meant for him. The sky darkened, and he found himself sitting on a park bench under the dim light of a streetlamp. The city was quiet, almost eerily so,
and the night felt heavier than usual.

He stared up at the stars, his mind still tangled in confusion. He thought about the roles he had played, the masks he had worn, the people he had hidden from—including himself. The fear of being seen for who he really was, the fear of rejection, had kept him trapped in a world of pretense for so long. But now, the safety of that world had crumbled, and he was left standing at the edge of something unknown.

As he sat there, alone in the stillness, a realization slowly began to form. The role he had been running from all these years—the one he feared most—was the role of being himself. The role that didn’t require a mask, or a script, or a character. The role where he couldn’t hide behind someone else’s story. It scared him more than any villain he had ever played, more than any tragedy he had ever acted out.

He sat there, unmoving, as the weight of the director’s words settled into him. What did it mean to play himself? Could he really step into that role? Was he ready for it? The questions swirled in his mind, and though he didn’t have the answers, something inside him had already begun to shift.
For the first time, he didn’t know where the story would go next.
