Paradoxical

Gagayahin ko si Jane hehe.

From the book A Lover's Discourse by Roland Barthes

Yet to hide a passion totally (or even to hide, more simply, its excess) is inconceivable: not because the human subject is too weak, but because passion is in essence made to be seen: the hiding must be seen: I want you to know that I am hiding something from you, that is the active paradox I must resolve: at one and the same time it must be known and not known: I want you to know that I don’t want to show my feelings: that is the message I address to the other. Larvatus prodeo: I advance pointing to my mask: I set a mask upon my passion, but with discreet (and wily) finger I designate this mask. Every passion has its spectator…


Poetic form of kalandian. It's nice to know that how I feel is totally normal of anyone who is in love. And to read my feelings elaborated this way is just beautiful. I love it :)
