People who have only good experiences aren't very interesting. They may be content, and happy after a fashion, but they aren't very deep.

What if she was meant to be, or could have been, someone important in my life? I think that's what scares me: the randomness of everything. That the people who could be important to you might just pass you by. Or you pass them by. How do you know...I felt that by walking away I was abandoning [them], that I…
