Personal entry: written about the author's own life and circumstances at the time. It is kept as part of the record but is not surfaced in picks or suggestions.

What activates when you take a hard deeper look inside your conscious self, focusing on your existence, the sole being that knows it exists.

And as a being who only knows that itself exists, even readable knowledge from books become doubtful, nothing can be trusted, but your own experience for yourself. Otherwise, its just believing in others, in their words and actions, which, get me, is very difficult if you have been betrayed as a kid. Social trust is out of the window, forever for my existence.

Behind outside your field of vision, there is a camera, that captures your life as a movie, as first person view. When you turn back to look at them, they turn with your head, When you look in the mirror, it edits out the those cinema cameras, or not, then maybe you can call them your eyes. You are the only main character (of your life). [abstractionanalogyinference]
Summary: You can never prove what you cannot see or observe, if its there or not. For e.g. as a kid I wondered if I was made of metal instead of being a human, because I never really looked inside me, I could not prove until, all the believing was confidently clear after having MRI and X-Ray, and I knew I’m not an alien, but just another human, among all that exist.
