They say you die once when you stop breathing and a second time when someone says your name for the last time

Sitting alone in my dilapidated apartment for years now, I realize its not always in that order.

Someone will probably say your name again when they have to remove your corps.

And if you drown, they'll have to remove your marine corps.

Was gonna say bravo for a legitimately good 2sh, but saw it's just taken from the original sub. Still good, at least.

How many people can say they know much about their great grandparents? Few probably even know their names and yet they are only 2 generations removed from you. Except for an extremely small percent of the population, we are only about 50 years from being completely forgotten, and for a whole lot of people, it's probably measured in months, not even years.
