I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

"slowly sliding"

I don't know why, but I notice this phrase often. I know it's kind of arbitrary enough to be a coincidence to run into a lot, but for some reason it just got stuck in my head when I was young and it almost seems like it's haunting me.

I feel like I'm going to hear these words before I die.

Lol. Probably not. But that's what it feels like!

When I die, bury me upside-down so everyone can kiss my ass goodbye.
