This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'll never understand that reaction. I completely understand seeing that and wanting to kill yourself, but I never thought the happy couple should die.

I see those kinds of couples and my only thoughts are usually some form of "lucky lucky. I'm such a worthless piece of shit." Lol

Now imagine you had more than a good shot, and you where the one who rejected her. How would you feel, looking back and seeing you where an idiot?

Fucking hell, you have to forgive your past self for being a dumbass. Everyone's past self was an idiot literally because they didn't know what present self knows.

Forgive your past and focus on working your present for what you want for your future self.

It's not hippy-dippy bullshit, it's literally the foundational principle for doing anything in life like getting fitter, starting a business, learning a new skill / subject, improving your dating prospects, etc.

If you only wallow in your past mistakes and not doing the teeny-tiniest improvements of literally 1% or 0.1%, then you're not living, you're just dying slowly. Living is much more fun.

You live and you learn, hopefully. But if you can do it once, you can do it again!
