I Don'T Like You But I Love You

I don’t like you but I love you! Yes, those are the lyrics to that popular song. I hate that I have come to feel that exact way about you, but why do you; tell me my paintings look like a child constructed them, push my bangs to the side and tell me to grow them out, proclaim that I am only pretty in the town we live, refuse to meet my friends, and say I should not have children because I am unstable? It’s as if you don’t like me, but you say love me.

I know these words pretty good..... a tough way to view the obstacles of love and hate... all of it is born from each other.... SKAT

Great one...a good picture where one should draw the line between like and love....tho' they are more like sisters.
