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.

The worst thing I ever did was get married and have kids. Now all grown and left, cept the special one, and I realize every day I could have pulled this misery and isolation off all by myself and would be surrounded by French Bulldogs and not regrets.

Yup, a wife and kids aren't for everyone.

I'm happily married with kids, but I tell people who ask to not have kids. The ones who want kids will ignore me, and the ones who don't won't guilt themselves into having them. Far too many people have kids they don't want.
