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.

You can carry white lies, that you were told at a very young age, with you for many years. There's loads of stories of people being told some fairytale incorrect information at a young age and then just believing that for years until they suddenly have an epiphany as an adult.
