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.

This does NOT work. People don't say "Damn, that girl I bullied is doing well?! Shit, I feel terrible!", no. The bullies will live their lives and I'll live mine. They will pass their entire lives without being punished for their acts while I'm being punished for not fighting back.
Yeah people say things like "they'll get what's coming to them" which is mostly true if the person never learns or grows, but yeah sometimes people just get away with doing bad stuff and that's kinda just how it is. It's fine to be mad at them, the "well I need to get back at them by..." is still focusing on them though. Usually best thing you can do is say "wow what a POS" and try to fix your life for your own sake, sometimes unfair stuff happens and all you can do is try and deal with it.
At the end of our lives, we are completely free. Give your bully a visit in their retirement home.
nobody is punishing you. other than yourself for shit you did or didn't do decades ago.
let it go. or see a therapist who will help you move on from that shit.
