It's strange. I love a lot of people. The idea of being in love? that's hard. It's happened...I don't know. Once, maybe twice, and both times ended in loss. The kind of loss that you don't get back up from.
So I get that. And I think people put too much stock in 'soulmates' and 'true love'. The epic, fantasy kind, I mean. You love the people around you, you keep them safe, you take comfort in them. It doesn't have to be any more than that.
It's funny. I think our worlds have that in common. I believe in marriage, but on my world, people get married because it's a status thing, it's because they think it's what they're supposed to do with their lives, and it doesn't make them happy. And I see people who are together but never get married, and they've got the strongest bond you could wish for. Part of it is because in my world, not everyone's allowed to marry who they love. But sometimes, it's just what you feel is right, and what you want to say about it.
