Reality is the totality of what exists.

For an individual person, reality is the totality of what exists for him.  Thus
different people have different realities, though realities may intersect
to form consensual or interpersonal realities.

Whether there is an "objective reality" that exists outside of the reality of
individuals is an unprovable question and should therefore be ignored.
