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.

Seriously. And before anyone says “well you need a lot of money to do things”..

There is nothing stopping you from getting out of your room and exploring. Even if it means a quick adventure at a park nearby. Or go to some small town you’ve never been before. Explore the local shops and parks. Go to a local art exhibition. Sit somewhere and experience somewhere new.

None of this requires much money at all.

How does that not require money?

I mean, steps 0-.99 are touching grass long enough to bring your brain back to equilibrium. If you can’t enjoy stopping to smell the roses because you’re so fried from oily food, video games, and casual online bigotry to mask your absence of self worth, there’s less point in the rest.

But that’s just how I perceive most modern 4chan posters. I’ve read no studies

So, if the place you live has snow on the ground between November and May, you have to wait a few months to touch grass?

There’s a reason Finland’s second favorite pastime is alcoholism. But yes.

What y'all need is some Latino culture. We have public plazas and walkways where you can exist without being expected to buy or be forced to move along to avoid a ticket for loitering.

This I think is where a lot of problems started. The lost of the art of walking as we forced everyone to use cars for nothing more than profit.

Walking allowed us to see human faces and allowed us to keep in touch reality. You're also less likely to be stressed bumping into a person than you do bumping you're car.
