Have you heard of Fermat's principle?
I'll give you two, an image and a song:

I can't find the image at the moment but it's a few cropped panels from a manga of some little girl trying to fight back tears as they play with a little duck toy. I think it's a bit of a meme image, used in 'depressing picture' compilations and stuff like that. Seeing it for the first time hit me hard as it dredged up some buried memories that I haven't had to deal with for a long, long time. I cried and cried and cried. It's really dumb since the cropped panels are sourced from a really weird hentai, but at the time, I had no idea, and even knowing that now it still gets me nevertheless.

As for a song, it's Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GemKqzILV4w I know nothing about the band and I barely even know the song, but it came on randomly in the background at a certain depressing time in my life and now it always can bring me back there. Something about the chorus, "if I just lay here", sticks out to me, as that was all I wanted to do at that point.
