Reality
[Re-al-i-ty]: Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent within a system, as opposed to that which is only imaginary. The world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.

Personality
[Per-son-al-i-ty]: Personality is a characteristic way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Personality embraces moods, attitudes, and opinions and is most clearly expressed in interactions with other people. It includes behavioural characteristics, both inherent and acquired.

Personal Reality can then be described as who we are, where we are and what we want to become, can become, and have become over time, as well as where we have come from. Personal reality is reflective of our self-consciousness, choices, and our motivation to produce a successful approach to action.

In my personal brand of reality, Philosophy asks the questions and Physics(the science of everthing, aka my beloved) is the tool that finds all the answers. Biology is an example of the matter-ial that is being interrogated.
