yet

i love her, yet i hate her.
i am her friend, yet i want to be her lover.
i'm happy with everything like that, yet i'm so miserable.
i don't want things to change, yet i want them to.
i don't know what i want, yet i do.
i like her, yet i don't want to.
i don't know what this is, yet i do.

PRACT CRIT
in this piece of writing, contrast is very much evident. the author makes use of 2 separate and conflicting emotions to show his confusion about what he is facing. however, we can see that through such confusion, the author bothers to think in a logical process. as seen from 'i don't want things to change, yet i want them to.' this evidently shows that through the thought process he has come to a conclusion that although his logical mind tells him to not be affected by emotions, his rash heart tells him the exact opposite.

irony is also very much present in this piece of work as how can one acutally love and hate the same person? 'to love yet hate' are the words chosen by the author. how this becomes ironic is that to love one has to be selfless, to hate, one has to be selfish. how then is this possible? similarly, how can the author feel both joy as well as sadness at the same time? such mixed emotions and feelings show that the author is very much confused with the problem he is facing.

how to interprete this piece of writing can be an unsurmountable task as it depends very much on what the reader chooses to believe the author to be. if he believes that the author is a romantic who lives by his heart, the author would take a step in the direction where everything would drastically change. this drastic change may not only affect him, but might as well affect those around him, especially the woman of his dreams. however, if the author chooses to abide by him logical mind's word, the problem he faces is somewhat less complicated. this is because he doesn't have to worry about his emotions getting in the way as well as the senario of things becoming bad is eliminated.

similarly, one must also look at this piece of writing with the tone and purpose of it clearly kept in mind. the purpose of this writing may have been to express how he really feels about things to his readers. on the other hand, this writing may have be written so as to put things into perspective for him. the tone of this writing is objective and straight-forward. however, as much as the tone can be kept neutral, it is evident that the author still hopes and wishes for the impossible. however, it is also evident from his concise and simple way of writing that he is realistic and able to live with the logical choice of life.

in my opinion, the author does not know what he wants in life. and therefore, he should continue writing to try and discover things for himself. however, it is evident that he cares and loves for someone a lot. but to what extend and how he loves is yet to be determined.



i just hope that what happens between us doesn't happen between anyone else.

i love you too much. thats why i don't like you anymore. to see your flaws yet still want to be there for you and be there with you isn't just liking to me. its loving. loving all. the good the bad, the happy the sad. its a package. but i don't want to like you. i just want to love you and let things be the way they are. things are great like that. i think you're happy. and i know i am. manja.

nights.

PS. i think guys are such pussys. whatever happened to the balls they once had?!
