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.

He did read survivalist books, there was a book about identifying edible plants he had with him when he died. He even hired a botany/foraging tutor I believe. Ultimately though it's kinda the same thing, if he was suicidal, it would have been because of the abuse, most likely. Personally, I don't think it holds much water, suicidal people don't typically go off and live in the wilderness to starve to death, they usually kill themselves a bit more directly, whereas "mediocre rich white boy vastly overestimates his own wilderness survival abilities and is horribly unprepared for the reality of living off the land" is highly credible

And the final note vibes with that. Why kill yourself slowly if you want to die? And why change your mind at the last minute?
