Self-created fiction:

we tell ourselves stories, and we believe the stories told to us by our parents and trusted authority figures, an image of the world inherited before we’ve even begun to form opinion. That’s the reality we live in and it isn’t even truly ours, it belongs to those who’ve come before and formed a history passed down to us, and to this we add our own beliefs and self-created fiction.
