I read Much Ado About Nothing in my sophmore year in high school and despite the name it wasn't about nothing, at least not to me.
The plot isn't important, but before I go any further you should at least know that the two main characters are Beatrice and Benedick.
These two fight constantly and they hate each other until they love eachother and the play ends.
Read the book if you want there is whole other side story however, all I want to discuss is the hate between the two.
My english teacher said something really profound that hate is not the opposite of love and after she explained it I would have to agree.
That is why I can and will wholeheartedly say that I hate everything.
That statement might cause you to think that I'm a sad emo girl with no friends who has suicidal thoughts, but that could not be further from the truth.
I'm just your average teenage girl with loving friends and family. I don't include people into everything because they are in fact people not things.
The only person I might hate is myself and I'm sure no one else has figured that out since I'm only just coming to terms with it.
The reason I talked about Much Ado About Nothing was to show where I'm coming from.
I didn't also hate everything at one point I loved almost everything I mean brussel sprouts were always on the list of things I hated but I was your typical happy child with platinum blonde ringlets and blue eyes.
Both my demeanor and hair have both darkened since then. I'm not quite sure when this love started to become hate.
It creeped silently and unbeknownst to me until two days my seventeenth birthday happened and the realization hit me. I would love to be able to say that this will go away like when you treat a bad case of athletes' foot.
Unfortunately, though I don't know I could never get rid of this maybe its more like a cancer and this is a tumor that will just continue to grow.
At times I'll have it under control, but there will always be the chance of a relapse and as any honest doctor will tell you there is a limit to how many you get.
There isn't another option though so I'll just have to continue to live through it and figure it out as I go and wait on a maybe.
