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.

or any meditation technique/speech therapy.

christian monks used to do the same. i think it was called "confession" or something when you talked about things that bothered you with somebody who was reasonably intelligent in a private context.

i guess it really helped and might have been the modern equivalent of talking to a therapist.

also: praying. It's basically meditation, depending on your practice.

You're quietly going through your thoughts and, well, meditate on them. Lots of good ideas and solutions can come from that alone
