Jack and Finn Harries did a collaboration project. They wanted to do the biggest collaboration video ever. They asked people to send in their video response to two questions. One: What do you love? Two: What do you fear? It got me thinking. (I didn't send this to them because I was too late, but i can still share it with you guys.)

What do I love?
Well, obviously, I love my family. I love my friends. I love my followers and everyone who's voted for, commented on, or liked my stories. I love being able to confide in someone. I love feeling connected to people. I love feeling like I'm a part of something. I love the thought that I've made a difference in the world for the better. But, I think, most of all, I love the idea of a perfect society. Obviously, it won't happen because, as @knightsrachel so eloquently pointed out in My Brother's Best Friend, perfection is perception. I'm too lazy to go back and find the chapter where Lee said it, but he told Emily that she won't achieve perfection as it is perception and we as individuals and a society assign it to an unattainable image or idea. I know it's impossible to ever attain a perfect society because everyone's perception is different, but I love the idea of it - of everyone being equal and happy. I love that.

What do I fear?
I fear a lot of things. I fear the dark in public places. I fear spiders. I fear heights.
I fear feeling empty. I fear becoming a robot that society has formed and conforming with the rest of the brain washed robots. I fear loneliness. I fear the unknown. I fear the future. I fear not being loved. I fear failing. I fear depression. I fear messing up. I fear not speaking my mind. I fear not making a difference. I fear not mattering.
