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.

Validation need not come from anywhere outside yourself. Set your own goals. Do your best. Pat yourself on the back. People who 'recognize' you only do so superficially anyway. No one can truly know what you've done or where you've been.

I mean, sure, but it is still nice to have some external validation now and again you know?

In monetary form even.

...said the mouse in the maze.

How about climbing over those walls, up the leg of the biggest scientist, enter through the eye socket, and hollow out that skull. That's all the validation anyone needs. Yum!
