> I know nothing about reality directly all I know is my definition of it.

In the interest of clarity, I think we should all adhere to the philosophical "use/mention distinction".
1) foot has 5 toes
2) 'foot' has 4 letters
In 1) the word 'foot' is used (to refer to a foot); in 2) the word 'foot' is mentioned (hence, the convention of enclosing it in single quotes).  Reality does not have a definition (unless in the sense that my television set has high definition). 'Reality' may have a definition; whether it does or not is a substantial philosophical thesis which must be argued for.
