The urban legend of The Yellow Ribbon is a haunting and symbolic tale that has circulated for generations, usually told as a warning but scary love story.
The most well-known version of it revolves around a young woman named Jane, who always wore a yellow ribbon around her neck.
She was admired for her beauty and charm, but her ever constant dresses with a yellow ribbon made those around her become curious, especially her devoted lover.
As their relationship grew, her lover repeatedly asked, again and again, why she never took off the ribbon.
Each time, she dodged the question, simply saying, "You'll find out one day."
Despite his curiosity, their love continued, and they eventually got married.
Even on their wedding day and night, and during their life together, the yellow ribbon remained tied around her neck.
Years pass, and his curiosity turned into desperation.
So one fateful night, unable to resist any longer, he gently untied the ribbon while she was fast asleep.
And to his horror, her head fell off; the yellow ribbon was the only thing holding it in place with the rest of her body the entire time.
The legend of the yellow ribbon symbolises boundaries, trust, and the consequences of sources of one's curiosity unchecked for a long time.
At the same time, it is a reminder that some mysteries are better left unsolved.
