Where is my

Where is my mind? I ask this question often, for I can never seem to find it. I have looked everywhere for it, from the highest mountain peaks to the depths of the sea, but still I cannot find it. I have tried searching for clues to its whereabouts, but alas, they are few and far between. I have even asked my friends and family, yet they too remain clueless. It is as if my mind has evaporated into thin air, never to be found again. But then again, I have thought of the possibility that my mind never existed in the first place. Could it be that my mind is simply a figment of my imagination, a creation of my own thoughts and ideas? If so, then my mind may be found only within the depths of my own being. If that is the case, then I may never know the answer to the question: Where is my mind?
