Truth does exist. But it encompasses more than a belief,imo. If I say this is my truth, it doesn't have to be a belief just because I hold ownership. A belief is more of something that requires some type of hope or faith, I think. But a truth is more concrete.

Someone could make a statement that everyone can travel to Wisconsin on the train, for example. They state it as a fact, that they belief, and yes, since they can travel to Wisconsin on the train, it is their truth. However, I cannot travel to Wisconsin on the train. My truth is that I am unable to do this. (It's more than a belief, I know that I cannot by myself travel like that.) So the basic truth is ppl who can, can travel to Wisconsin on the train. And it is also truth for the person who first stated it. But it is not my truth. Nothing in this makes their truth wrong and mine right, nor vice versa. Truth just is.
