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:

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Authenticity is hot, and I think a pretty good authenticity indicator is coming out of the closet and voluntarily live life in hard mode.
Interestingly, after living true to yourself for long enough, the idea of living a lie begins to sound like "hard mode." This is the case for embracing any so-called "alternative" way of being, whether it be through gender expression, sexuality, neurodivergence, lack of religion, or anything else that's not "typical" in the predominant culture.
Yeah, not everyone's going to like me, but some people really like me. Which makes the retrospective idea of hiding in a closet forever sound much more miserable. To have to suck up your truth and lie to everyone around you (including yourself) sounds so much harder than being genuine.
For those that need to hear it - your people are out there, and they can't wait to meet you. ❤️
