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.

It's not the realization of the years that have passed that makes you old. It's the belief that the things that you loved when you were younger are somehow better than what exists now that makes you old.

Being old means you have the knowledge of what was. Whether you look at the past objectively or with rose-tinted glasses is irrelevant.
