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.

That's also why it feels like the older you are the faster time passes. Life gets monotonous for you so all the days just blend in together and time feels like it's flying. You've seen a lot you've done a lot and stuff just sorta stops being as impressive as it was when you were a child.

Oh yeah, when you're younger there's so many firsts: first day of school, first crush, first kiss, first bf/gf, first dance, etc etc etc... the older you get, the fewer and further these benchmarks get. Still stuff like marriage, kids, career moves, house (lol maybe), but most of the time you grind work and fall deep into a routine.

Gotta keep shaking it up with travel and trying new things so it's not a hot boring blur. I'm hitting mid 30's but I swear I was mid 20's like a minute ago.

Yea I'm 30 and I'm feeling it. I thought my 20s were lasting a long time but here we are, they ended and I'm almost 31 now.
