When it comes to logic; converse, inverse, contrapositive ideas, I feel that you can always question something. Life itself is a contradiction and I feel when I start thinking more and more about it, I lose myself. I try not to think and just enjoy because I know I'll never find the answers I'm looking for.

I won't think too hard about this, but what I did was write "as many significant things that come to mind" in 15 minutes, then pick the most "jarring" one out of all.
The one that stood out to me is {how easy it is to make a statement that contradicts itself}. Let me explain.
In math (am studying it but I'm not an authority) there's this thing called the axiom of choice, AND there's no way (?) to prove if this is "legal" to use it or not (i.e. we don't know --- better phrased, we CAN'T know --- if this AC thing is "correct"). There are full fledged mathematicians that throw this away, but it is dire since you essentially can't escape from this anywhere you go.
There's also this thing called "law of excluded middle"; this basically postulates that "given a statement p, either {p} is true or {not p} is true". So p can't be "true" and "not true" at the same time.
But when we think about it, don't most situations in life can be "definitely correct" and "definitely incorrect" at the same time? At the flipside, don't we also encounter a lot of situations that "if we do x, we are definitely, without a trace of doubt, that we are wrong" BUT "if we don't do x, or do the opposite of x, we arrive at the same conclusion"?
Example: I might say that {my thoughts are very disorganized right now} (because they are, as I'm writing deepest fears, the nature of the things coming out must be scattered out since I don't often think [ah, what's something that I know that people doesn't know?])
Surely, if I feel strongly about something, it must be true, at least for myself, right? But, at the flipside, I might feel like "this has been the most effort I have ever utilised to cohesively structure my thoughts", so in my subjective experience, my mind is very organized.
And we have arrived at a contradiction. How easy it is to find such things in life. But IF this is true, then on what basis do we decide to grow, to be a better version of ourselves, IF the nature of reality itself is not only unknown, but contradictory?
I don't think I can conclude this comment right, so I'm going to curtly stop and end the comment.

I am very proud of you. The secret that I can share is that I have long forgotten who I am, it`s all just layers upon layers of masks just to get by. I am afraid toaknowledge that what I strived to be never mattered one bit in the end.
