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.

I knew a guy who did that around here and I never seen anything but a smile on his face.
Colleague asks to do Environmental activism
Don't know what that means, but sure why not

Op could have made worse choices overall. ATVs are pretty cool. Soil is soil. Coulda been a cubicle monkey. At least op is getting some sun.
ATV is cool, yeah!
But sampling soil from who-knows-where is shit. Imagine two weeks of rain at 4 °C and everyday you have to drive out. You are muddy, you are wet, you are freezing.
If you get the proper gear, clothing etc. - - still better than a cubicle in urban hell.
Fake: Anon never goes outside
Gay: Anon likes to ride
Anon teaches us that making seemingly random choices and going for it is better than making no choices at all
As someone a bit older than most on these sites, I can say with confidence, if you have any kind of solid plan for your life you're going to get royally fucked over.
If you want any chance of happiness in your life, you have to ride a balance between working towards goals, but also learning to love and appreciate wherever life takes you, even if it's in the opposite direction. Because the harder you try to fit into an image you make for yourself, the harder life pushes back.
I know all this sounds like a wood-etching in grandma's kitchen, but it's 100% true and if you don't get it now.... you will.
I was trying to explain this to my son yesterday. He's in middle school but already has a career path picked out. I was like, "dude, I didn't even know my current job existed until a decade after I graduated from college, you don't have to have this all figured out yet. Plans change, life gets in the way. Just go with it."
