    "It's said there are only 10 plots in all of fiction, but I believe there's only one: 'Who am I?'" from The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

Who am I indeed. Double life? I've felt like that for years. I played in a band and worked for a Fortune 50 company at the same time. I felt like anyone at the clubs I played at would have thought seeing me in a suit and tie was strange and anyone that I consulted with would have felt the same way seeing me play some smokey dive bar. Both are me though.

Gotta say though, I'm getting pretty fed-up with the suit and tie guy. But then, life's a rum-go and you've gotta pay the mortgage somehow and music sure isn't ponying up.

Nowhere near the sort of juxtaposing lives as your cousin lives, but still two sides of me.
