Nothing felt really sad for it was always hated. The only people that ever liked nothing were the minimalists, the people who exaggerate at not exaggerating. But even they wanted something, no matter how small.

So Nothing wondered and pondered why do people dislike nothing? Nothing has always been an abstract concept because even nothing is something. So as the writer thought about what kind of 'nothing' will her main character be and how paradoxical this story actually is, Nothing has decided to travel the world. It hoped it will become something.

But, meeting people made Nothing realize just how complicated it's existence actually is. Some people wish to be nothing. They kill themselves hoping to never exist again, not knowing how despairing is to actually be like Nothing. Nothing felt sad again, people never understood how they always have something, even if the something is the smallest something that there is. They don't know that people can solve any problem, if they put their minds to it (except licking your elbow, but fuck that shit). People always have something to look forward to, even if it's just the act of breathing. Poor humans, sick humans, abused humans, they are all valuable. They matter.

Nothing stopped in it's tracks. It realized that it was trying to change itself for others. It realized how absurd it was of it to try to turn into something. It realized that nothing, just like a human mind, is a space to be filled. Nothing is essential for the existence of something, because the white sheet of paper can be filled with anything, making the anticipation of painting more exciting than the painting itself.
