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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anybody? Where do you live that hanging out in the forest costs money?
Transportation to and from the forest isn't free.
Also some places have laws against camping on public land to discourage homelessness and these would likely fall afoul of those.

Outside of the tourist zone you can find wastelands of abandoned buildings.
I'm not doubting there are abandoned buildings in cities. I'm doubting any city within the US with the exception of the southwest is more than a few miles from a forest.
Actually the larger parks near me (the only places that have enough trees to qualify as something close to a forest) do cost money (american city metro area)

Most people on 4chan do
