Love. What is Love?

People talk about Love like it's an imaginary dagger. Something you hand someone and hope the universe doesn't use it against you.

Love can hurt like hell. I've lost Ko-Rel. I've lost Gamora. I know what it feels like to love someone and then have the universe rip them away from you.

But I don't think that means you stop loving. I think that's the easy way out. You don't throw away the dagger because you got cut. You learn how to hold it.

Love isn't about knowing someone will stay. It's choosing them even when you know you could lose them. It's letting someone matter to you enough that losing them would hurt.

And after everything I've lost, I could've decided I was done. I could've closed myself off and never let anyone get that close again.

But then I met Rozy.

And I realized something. Love isn't what makes you weak. It's the reason you keep fighting when everything else tells you to give up. It's knowing the person you love makes this stupid, dangerous universe worth staying in.

So, yeah. Love can hurt.

Sometimes it destroys you.

But I'd rather risk getting hurt again than go through the rest of my life never loving anyone at all.
