<< The one and only thing I believe in truly and deeply with all my heart and
mind is me. In my eyes I am the only thing that is real in the world.
Everything else is just a figment of my imagination. Now, i realize some
people may have a problem with this or be offended by this, but as I stated
this is my belief or opinion which ever you would like to call it. >>

That is called "Solipsism".

{soh'-luhp-sizm}

Solipsism is the philosophical view that only the self exists or can be known
to exist. In its most extreme form, solipsism holds that all perceived objects
and events are merely the products of personal consciousness and that this
consciousness alone is genuinely real.

I don't agree with your conclusion, but then there is no way to argue against
it either.
