what do you do when you can’t make something right?
when you know you won’t be forgiven?
you lie.
there’s no doorway the devil doesn’t know.
he’s always waiting to stick his foot in.
Annette Marie, Red Winter trilogy
“Because you are more to me now. Because you keep secrets like a kami and I’m curious what you hide. Because you are lonely and scared and I don’t understand why. Because you trust me when you know you shouldn’t. Because I believe you when you say you will keep your word.”
— I got lost so I started looking for something familiar and I found you.

I have a theory. Hating someone feels disturbingly similar to being in love with them. I’ve had a lot of time to compare love and hate, and these are my observations.
Love and hate are visceral. Your stomach twists at the thought of that person. The heart in your chest beats heavy and bright, nearly visible through your flesh and clothes. Your appetite and sleep are shredded. Every interaction spikes your blood with adrenaline, and you’re in the brink of fight or flight. Your body is barely under your control. You’re consumed, and it scares you.
Both love and hate are mirror versions of the same game - and you have to win. Why? Your heart and your ego. Trust me, I should know.
