The girl said her favorite word was "Mamihlapinatapai," from a lost South American language called Yaghan.
It expresses the feeling of the moment when two people want to start something at the same time, but no one wants to break the deadlock.
She said, "Could be like two people at a party wanting to apporach each other and neither quite brave enough to make the first move."
Reminds me of that monologue in Frances Ha:
"It's that thing when you're with somebody, and you love them and you know it, and they love you and you know it, but it's a party, and both of you are talking to other people, and you are laughing and shinning , and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes, but not because you're possessive or it's precisely sexual, but because that is the person in your life. It is sad and funny, but only because this life will end, and it's the secret world that exists there, in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. It's like the another dimension that exists around us that no one has the ability to perceive. That's what I want out of a relationship."
