MODERATORS
 

For me, a few come to mind:

  • "You're imagining everybody in this story way more attractive than they actually were."

It was posted somewhere on one of those spicy subreddits under some affair threesome story. And it sort if clicked with me. Like look around, normal people on the street don't all look like supermodels. And supermodels don't lurk around in reddit comment sections. It really put things into perspective for me.

  • "Life isn't short, it's the longest thing you'll ever do."

It is a bit uplifting to realize that no matter if you have bad or good period in your life, it is only a short chapter contained in the longest time period possible for you to experience.

There were a few others that I probably can't remember of the top of my head right now.

"The only person who won't fire you is you."

"Silence deafens everything." At first it seems counterintuitive, but being silent can "deafen" those around you (or society) to an issue or problem.

And my friends dad commented on his wanderlust need : "It doesn't matter where you travel to, you will never get away from yourself"

Another one came to mind.

"Because he's my man."

From the series Legion on FX. The main female lead Sydney wanted to safe her boyfriend and others doubted her on her reasoning, since her boyfriend turned out to be a shady guy. When questioned "Why?" She gave that answer. I've never heard a female character be this positively possessive over her love interest before. Usually its the guy that saves the girl.

Confident, Cocky, Lazy, Dead.

The serial killer in the Tad Williams books, but it makes sense to me.
