Owning the truth as I perceive it involves

recognizing that our beliefs are shaped by our perceptions.

What we accept as true

is often a reflection

of how we interpret our surroundings and experiences.

Being a spectator

of our own perceptions helps us understand

the stories we construct about the world around us

and how these narratives influence our thoughts.

These stories about our environment shape our thinking,

which in turn, forms our conscious awareness.

This awareness both

enlightens us with insights into what we believe is true

and burdens us with the responsibility of those beliefs.

What stories am I telling myself

about what I see in my environment?
