What is the longest you have spent looking for something that doesn't exist?

I spent a week looking for a bottle of white paint I swore i bought while at hobby lobby. One week then it dawned on me to check the receipt and I bought black instead of white 🤦‍♂

Three years it wasnt true love. I learned my lesson

Sense in rightwingers, circa 2016 or so 👻

Maybe it wasn't cause it didn't exist, maybe I was chasing it thinking it was something more than it was then I kinda just stopped

My entire life.... My illusive talent.

You mean like a person?

44 years and counting
