Too much information

Its important to know what defines you. I’ve been having problems with that of late. I’ve been on a ‘quest’ to find a sort of underlying truth, since I was quite young, and I think I have found it. The problem is that truth is the opposite of imagination, the act of creation. How can we bring an idea into this world and not have it start off as a lie?

Once I have striped myself down, once there is nothing left but bones, how do I define myself? Only though the act of creation? Maybe life is continual subtraction and addition. Accounting.
