The costume you wear so often you forget it's not your skin.
means The part you play or function you serve — in a job, a story, a family, a team.
from From French rôle, originally meaning the roll of paper an actor's lines were written on — so literally, the script you were handed. The part became the person who performed it: the paper roll lent its name to the performance itself.
