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.

There's something about fire that moves humanity.

The crackle, the flicker, the scent of smoke and wood, the glowing warmth that caresses away chills. It's hypnotic, and on such a primal level that we don't always notice it.

Staring into a fire, just in the moment is meditative. Your mind can either roam free, or empty itself out to let you float in the now.
