Do you know why we named you Kamala? It’s a special name. Kamal means “perfection” in Arabic. Your mother had a very difficult time when she was pregnant with Amir. After he was born, the doctors told us we couldn’t have any more children. We were devastated. Then, five years later, you came along. Our little miracle. I held you in my hands at the hospital… a tiny, screaming, pinkish-brown baby… and thought you were the most perfect thing I had ever seen. That’s why we gave you your name. You don’t have to be someone else to impress anybody. You are perfect just the way you are.

And we live. We stop falling for a moment and we live. Me and Gamora. The Dark Aster picks us up and repairs us. And Thanos says — “So you lose and you win. Weakness traded for strength, flesh for metal, adversity for advantage.” — Yes, I remember him saying that… the clear memory of his teachings drives me on. — Guardians of the Galaxy Prelude #1

Put on your war paint.

you can’t change my nature

"You’re in a hard place but it’s important to go through. Hang in there, buckle down, hold your head up, and do your best. That’s all you can do and when people criticize you, listen to them; Either they’re right or wrong but they’re not always trying to hurt you. Try and really understand where criticism is coming from. "You can do better," is well intentioned. "You’re stupid," is not." (c)

may your feet serve you well and the rest be sent to hell where they always have belonged cold hearts brew colder songs
