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.

Moved to the suburbs in my 30s. Got a new bike to hit the nearby bike trails. First bike ride turns into agonizing ordeal as it literally feels like someone ripped open my knees and poured broken glass in them. Diagnosed with arthritis in my knees.
There are plenty of reasons people don't use bikes, and health reasons are one of the main ones.
Going less than ten miles away? Sure
Going 30+ miles away and no rail links exist? Fuck you, I guess
back in my day if you werent rich and had a horse, we WALKED everywhere. UPHILL. BOTH WAYS. IN THE SNOW
WITH NO SHOES
Did you fight a lion on the way to school on one foot while the other foot was starting a business?
One lion? I longed for the days when there was only one lion.
