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.

I don’t care if this is fake. It’s how the world should be and I really hope it is.

If you get yourself into a private community gym instead of Planet Fitness, you’ll realize how real this is.

I go to the Y, and it’s like this. Same for most local gyms. It’s the shit places like Planet Fitness and other mega gyms that are filled with problems.

My Y also has zero tolerance for anyone filming or taking pictures. It’s incredible.

Gym bros love people who try to better themselves. Spotting and Sauna are induction.

These guys will get you fitter than you ever thought you could be.

YMCA and College Fitness Centers are the best starting spots.

Can confirm, my local city gym is full of great people.

I'm sure we can find some zoomers to make fun of you, so...

Halfway there, eh?

I mean, it really it is you reach out and take initiative. It's never like this if you sit around waiting for this kind of thing to happen, you will be perpetually disappointed in others.

But like our fictional hero, I can at least attest from my own long life, that if you seek out the kind of experiences and people you wish you had in your life, you will find them. But if you roll your eyes at the notion, if you are apathetic and are discouraged because you had one or several bad experiences, or if you're discouraged because you read about someone else's bad experience, or if some youtuber told you how bad things are, you will live in that world and that world only as long as you live.
