Josh had told me a long time ago that he had this theory that an entire relationship was based on what occurred over the course of the first five minutes you know each other. That everything that came after those first minutes was just details being filled in. Meaning: you already knew how deep the love was, how instinctually you felt about someone.What happened in their first five minutes?Time stopped.

Why does it take fear to move you? Why does it take chaos to make us understand exactly what we need to do?

People don’t break up because someone’s family is a little . . . messy. If that were the case, no one would ever get married.
