Quit it with illusions/delusions already!

So I convince myself that I am this or I am that, instead of just doing and being. I convince myself that the world/people/life is one thing instead of just letting it be what it is. I don’t like being stuffed into a box – so why do I do it to myself?
One of my favorite quotes is:
And if at last you must have a word to say,
Say neither in their way,
It is a deadly magic and accursed,
Nor, it is blest,
But only,
It is here.

That’s what I’m going to aim for.
