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 crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A partner won't fix you, or at least you shouldn't expect them to. A partner is there to support you in good times and bad. A crutch to lean on when you need it. Someone to comfort you when you need it. They aren't some magic tool to correct issues you might have.
However partner can be a driving force for you to start fighting for yourself - an external motivation. And partner can offer a boost to perceived self worth. Enough to enable you to try to fight for yourself.
A partner can also the source of your misery and separating yourself from them can finally allow you to respect yourself.
