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 depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Even if you believe that, the idea that losing you would be such torture as to outweigh any good of being with you is utter bullshit. And even if you think it would, you don't get to make that choice for someone else!
My wife recently got diagnosed with a small tumor on her pituitary gland. Her health already wasn't the best, and she's a week shy of exactly 5 years older than me. So I already knew I was most likely going to outlive her. But even if you told me I was going to outlive her by literally hundreds of years you would never catch me choosing not to be with her for however long I get. I'd choose to be with this woman every single time.
If she died tomorrow it would destroy me. But it's precisely because it will hurt me so much that I'm going to cherish every single moment I have with her for as long as I have her. And when the time does come to say goodbye I'm going to live on carrying those memories with me for however much longer I have before I join her wherever it is we go when this is all over. Because I know that she would want me to be happy in the time I have without her.
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard
