No Individuality

I am so attached to my personality
I value being different from so called others
I see myself as a bundle of qualities and feel that there is a border around these special qualities
The idea that in reality there in no individuality is scary to me
It threatens the imaginary bundle called me
But can I accept that individuality is purely imaginary?
It requires memory for me to keep reminding myself of what I am and what I am not
Outside individuality, I needn't remember what is better or worse
I don't have to protect myself
I need not be scared of anything
Since everything is just interacting with everything
Can I start to feel the relief in not being something that needs constant attention and protection?
Free from the worry of the individual point of view
The world seems simple and complete
