You can't blame gravity for falling in love.
Interpretation
Love is an inevitable force, much like gravity, that cannot be blamed for its effects.
This quote suggests that love is a natural phenomenon that occurs beyond our control, similar to gravity. Just as one cannot hold gravity responsible for a fall, one should not blame the circumstances of love for its complexities and consequences; instead, it is a profound and inherent force in human experience.

My brother gave me some good advice. He said, "What do you want to do? Do that because there are no rules when it comes to love. There are absolutely no rules. Do what you want to do." I think that was the most liberating piece of advice, because love really is unpredictable. There's trap doors, all kinds of scary stuff, caves and bears... You never know what's going to happen so you just have to do what you feel is right in the end.
