You could start by taking some time for yourself. Distance can give you a new perspective. Try to focus on your own growth, like picking up a new hobby or learning a new skill. This can help you shift your focus away from the negative feelings about your love story.
First, accept your feelings. It's okay to hate it. Then, cut off any unnecessary contact with the person related to that story if possible. This will help you start fresh.
The plot could involve the owner having a difficult time adjusting to having cats in the first place. They might find the cats too noisy or messy. But as they start to understand the cats' behaviors and personalities more, they fall in love. For example, one cat might be shy at first but then start to trust the owner and show its sweet side. This transformation of feelings is the essence of the love story.
Well, it might seem contradictory. But perhaps the author has a love - hate relationship with their cats. Maybe the cats do some annoying things like scratching furniture or waking them up at night, but still, there are endearing qualities that make it a love story in the end.
It depends on your personal feelings and experiences. If the story resonates with you and makes you feel positive emotions, you might love it. But if it triggers negative emotions or goes against your values, you could hate it.
Well, everyone has different tastes. Some people love love stories because they find the idea of love and relationships fascinating. Maybe they enjoy the emotional rollercoaster. But you might hate them perhaps because you find them too sappy or unrealistic. You could prefer stories with more action or mystery.
The theme of forgiveness might also be present. Since there is love and hate, perhaps the characters need to learn to forgive each other for the things that have caused the 'hate' in order to fully embrace the 'love'. It could be about how love can overcome hate through forgiveness, or how the inability to forgive can destroy a relationship. Also, the theme of redemption could be there. A character who has done something to cause 'hate' might try to redeem themselves in the eyes of the one they love.
Well, that really depends on various factors like the characters' interactions and the development of the storyline. It might start as one and turn into the other as the story progresses.
Maybe you've had some bad experiences related to love, like a painful breakup or seeing the messy side of relationships too often, which makes you dislike the idealized versions in love stories.
