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.

As a ruined brand-new life almost a half century ago, I endorse this message. I promise ya'll would have been FINE without me.

I would have been fine without me too. I was an accident, which is fine, as far as I'm aware it hasn't really changed anything. But from religious trauma and all that, I actively wished I hadn't of been born as a kid.

Sorry to hear that, I know the feeling and it sucks. It's better after growing up and starting your own life and making your own way, and I hope you're proceeding in that direction.

My parents reminded me every "anniversary" of when they changed their mind in the clinic and decided not to end my mother's pregnancy. I heard that story from my earliest days and never understood why they told me that over and over at the time. I get it now, and I feel more pity for my late parents than myself anymore. Some people are completely incapable of being adult enough to bring a new life into the world with actual responsibility and care, whatever the circumstances were for that life coming into being.

Thanks for the response and kind words.

That last part is pretty much why I don't have kids. Well, and just remembering what it was like for me growing up. I like to think if I didnhave kids they'd be better off than myself, since I wouldn't force any nonsense down their throat, including but not limited to, worthless without y and threats of eternal suffering.
