"There’s a difference between being friendly and developing a friendship. [...] A friendship is any relationship where we’ve practiced the behaviors that make up a friendship." — Shasta Nelson
"Science is showing that we all have about 150 people on our triangle [...] that our brains can kind of keep that information for. [...] We kind of use the word friend for everybody on that triangle, right?" — Shasta Nelson
"What’s important is that all of these different relationships [...] serve different purposes. [...] We feel like we can show up and for what’s appropriate in that context, feel seen." — Shasta Nelson
