There are plenty of things people fall in love with. Some love rainy days while others love clear blue skies. Some fall in love with a rose while others fancy the cactus. Some love bright days while some enjoy the darkness of the night. But there is always something people love.
Why? Because love is a feeling you can't control. It's not like a rope, you could hold whenever you want to or let it slip away when you feel like it.
But fear is not that different from love. Some people are scared of commitment and love. Some are scared of death and some are just scared of life itself.
We can't possibly control fear as well. Fear is also an uncontrollable feeling.
But love and fear have something in common. Both teach a person a lesson. A lesson of survival. A lesson of growth. A lesson of 'life'.
Xu Mey learned the lesson of 'life' from fear. Love was foreign to her. And the worst of all fears in life is the fear of unknown.
