Stumbled over this essay on the Micro.blog timeline. And I like it a lot. Especially as an bilingual person myself.

Being bilingual is about adopting a new mode of communication, adding a whole new dimension to the relationship between yourself and the world.
Adopting a new language can feel like assuming a new identity for a spy mission you see in a movie.

Being a Bilingual Is Like Having a Double Identity.
