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.

"Friends and Family fuck you first". Sounds like a pretty shitty quote, but it proves to be true as you get older.

They get dibs, it's only fair

That is a really sad view on friends and family. I mean, depending on the size of the funking.

My family and friends have been minor funking.

You should choose different friends and make sure that you don't pass that sentiment on to your kids.

It's a sad reality for some, count your blessings.

But the friends part. Family I get, but friends? Sad noises.
