Nothings and Somethings

Sometimes, when I'm alone in my bed, I curl up really tight, like an armadillo, and try to squeeze myself into nothingness. It hasn't worked yet. I think a lot of people are afraid of being nothing, which I am too but not for the same reasons. A lot of people say things like, "I need to be something. I want something. Make something of yourself" but I don't think it would sad to be nothing. I think it would be a really good time. For one thing, you wouldn't be having to go to the bathroom all the time, which is a problem I have, and also you could float around your room since gravity wouldn't be able to grab you anymore. Although, you might miss talking to your mom on Sundays because your larynx wouldn't exist anymore, and likewise you couldn't change things up by dying your hair a new color. But I've never done that. I think I wrote that in case there were any girls reading this, and they wanted to know a little bit about what it would be like to be nothing. Another thing about being nothing that I wanted to say is that if you were nothing you could be a lot of other things. You could be an astronaut, or a deep sea diver, or an airplane, because you wouldn't need any air. You could also be a camel, cause they don't need water most of the time, and also a squid. The only hard thing about being nothing, like I said, would be watching all the other people and having to stay at home, which would be hard even if your home was a volcano (which you could do if you were nothing), because you would be really lonely. And also finding places to stay, because there's a whole of of somethings around and less and less nothings. It would be hard too if you were watching people you really loved and they were having a hard time, and there wasn't anything you could do about it except watch it happen because they were a something and you were a nothing. It would be even harder if there was somebody you really loved, but they had you in their heart, because you were Nothing and everybody should be full of Something. I bet if you tried really hard you could undo the nothing, and be a little bit of something, and maybe that little bit of something would be just what they needed, which makes me wonder how many nothings are floating around, helping me out when I have a really hard day.
