Sheeo, love the essay, very thought-provoking, good questions. Here's my take:
Quote:

It can’t be true—there must be one true me. Mustn’t there?

Yes, I believe there is only one true you.
Quote:

Why can’t I shine out and be truly myself, if there even is a “me” somewhere in here?

For you to ask that question, you must already know the answer. The process of finding the answer is not of "discovering" it, but rather, of "uncovering" it. The truth is hidden behind "faces of lies." The question is not, whether you will know the truth, the question is, whether or not you are READY to know the truth? Do you REALLY want to know what you will "uncover?" Think about that for a second.
Think about all the consequences and repercussions it may have on your life. If you really "uncovered" who you are, would the people you surround yourself with really accept you - would you accept them? Would it mean you might have to end some relationships, change your career, move to another city/country? Does this scare you? Is fear holding you back?
When these things no longer matter to you, then your answer will be apparent. I don't think you are the type of person to let fear get in the way of your answer. You will find your answer - soon enough.
Sorry for all the questions - sometimes the best answer is a question.
