"That moment when there's nothing interesting left to say to each other, so you just list what you had for lunch and what you're going to have for dinner. Stale relationships - where eventually its just like your reading your day planners back and forth without any passion or excitement - are completely terrifying to me."

"It is so easy to forget that relationships extend far beyond romantic endeavors. My biggest fear is neglecting those relationships that have laughed through the awkward first dates and mended the broken hearts. It would be a pretty terrifying prospect to face the fear that love can offer without the reliability of a good friend."
