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.

I couldn't get over my high school girlfriend until my thirties. One time, I had a dream in which she told me that my obsession with her was unhealthy and that I needed to move on. It didn't help.

(I do think it's hilarious that she rejected me even in my own dreams.)

I still think about someone I liked in high school, even though I'm happily married and wouldn't change anything about what happened. In fact, I think I'd have more problems if I ended up with that them than my SO.

I think most people have that "one that got away" that they think about, regardless of their current relationship status. And I don't think it has anything to do with that specific individual, but the circumstances that made them stand out to you at the time, like that favorite video game that doesn't hold up today but you still want to replay (or maybe have replayed multiple times).

My dreams are brutally realistic sometimes too lol, which makes me grumpy. Shouldn't we be trying out other ideas, ya dork ass brain?! Isn't that a lotta the point of dreaming at all?!
