I can love a person, but I'd always hate their negative qualities and I know it's true for everyone And if it's not, there's something wrong with me, or something extremely right with them  Does their heart pump love while mine only pumps hate? Is their work hard while mine is just fate? Is their blood hot while mine has run cold? If we have the same hearts, why is mine impossible to hold? Does their hand crave another while mine only craves a pen? Is it wrong to yearn for solitude again and again? How does their love feel like a breeze on a hot day? While mine feels like a debt I can never repay. How do their eyes resemble stars while mine lackluster? How do they give love for love while I just feed them off like a vulture? Does their mind replay memories they love, while mine is just a misery cell? Does their recollection fade when they feel fine, while I remember it all ...

Greetings, fellow literature enthusiasts! Hope you are doing well. I t's time to gather 'round for a literary adventure that will leave you gasping for air. Today, we're venturing into the wild and tumultuous world of Emily Bront ë 's  Wuthering Heights. But beware, dear readers, for this is not your average love story.

We've got brooding anti-heroes, tragic heroines, and enough drama to rival a Shakespearean play.  But fear not, for in the midst of all the chaos, there is beauty to be found.
