I'm in a bit of a dilemma

This was a very insightful reply, thanks for putting things into perspective for me.

On the lesser magic point, I have no problem lying my ass off. The thought that plagues me is "if I slip up, what will I do then?" Am I ready for the ensuing shitstorm if they spot me wearing a baphomet necklace while walking down the street? If they find one of my books in the drawer? Even if I deny it, it'll all be the same to them.

I've even considered changing who I am to 'fit the mold' but I found that only makes me miserable. I come from a culture where family is super tight-knit and they want to be all up in each other's business. It's frustrating, but I'm trying to break away from that and do my own thing.
