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.

Even just setting aside time to express gratitude can really turn things around. I have my kids do this, and that alone can turn them from being hugely negative to happily going to bed more-or-less on time.
It obviously can't cure all forms of depression, but recognizing things that you're grateful for can really improve your general outlook. It's the indoor version of touching grass.
