Everyone has certain people in their lives they love to death. These could be family members, really really close friends etc. But the thing I keep noticing is the fact that the ones you love so much, are actually the ones that annoy you the most at some times. You feel like hitting and punching them, but you can't, because you love them too much. It's kind of the hatred-feeling. And actually I don't like the word 'hate'. I think it sounds really really mean. So maybe I should use the term 'strongly dislike'?

But now.. the thing I've been wondering about for quite a while is: Are love & hatred just something that is supposed to be combined at all times? Something that's supposed to be together, like a pair of shoes or the 2 parts of your brain.
Is it possible to love someone without 'strongly disliking' them at the same time?
