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.

Get a closer job or move closer to your job if it's a good reliable job. I did and it's fucking wonderful! Riding gets easier and easier as you get stronger and better cardio too.
Took me a long time, a lot of work, and some luck but I can't recommend it enough. Most days I ride my bike or skateboard, but even walking doesn't take long. I only resort to a car if I'm too injured to ride/skate/walk far or the weather makes it too dangerous (which is rare, I've ridden through more storms than I can count lol, icy conditions suck though).
Damnit, now I want to go for a ride.
>just get a job closer to your home
>just move
Idk man, not sure either of those are the easy solutions you're implying them to be.
Go reread what I posted then because you clearly missed the part where I said it wasn't easy but worth it.
