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.

If we're talking politically, covid wasn't the turning point.
If we're talking socializing, then covid wasn't the turning point either, however it was sort of a point of no return or something. Not sure how to describe it.
I've seen plenty of romanticizing of pre-covid days from people around the ages of 18-23 today. Back when they still had friends and their life together, and they never really recovered from the isolation at a critical point.
Covid was like that part in adventure movies where characters have to run accross a bridge as it's collapsing and look back then say "that was our only way to return, we have to keep going now"
Except instead of hiking their adventurer backpacks up and setting off into the dense jungle in front of them, it's clicking a "forgot password" link and opening a tab with their email while they wait for the new password to log in to zoom or something.
It's interesting to me. I got out and made more friends after covid. Didn't stop me...
Did it happen during key development years for you?
