Why do I even bother? (Chapter 4,523)

Tell me, everyone...somebody knock some sense into me.

Why do I even bother? No matter what anyone says, the outrageously, unanimously obvious fact is there's nothing there anymore. No matter how hard I try to squeeze it, nothing will come out.

Granted, there might be a sliver left at the bottom, which I have to rake off with a spoon. But it doesn't satisfy me anymore. All the good parts have been taken by(or to make it worse, willingly given to) the others, with absolutely no concern over who got there first.

That's it. There's just too big a chasm to cross. There's no way to jump over it. Only recourse is for both of us to build a bridge towards each other so we can meet half way.

But the thing is, we can't.
