Auf der anderen Seite der Angst

I’m afraid of disappointment.
It hurts.

Gerda

I’m afraid of fascism.
It’s the end of everything.

Salina

Abuse of power, violence, bold-faced lies,
injustice, slander, intrigue, appeasement,
whitewashing and inadmissible comparisons make me helpless.

Busso

The fear that is most present in my life is the feeling of being abandoned.

Diego

Fear in my chest. Flames, desire for fire.
Like heartburn, I can’t run away.
But it only seethe inside me. No one can see it from here.
All alone with this fright. Please go away!

Juliane

Fear is part of life, of dying and of me.
Does fear itself want to grow? What makes fear grow?

Leoni

I am afraid of losing a loved one.
It is a constant fear that I am afraid of.
It’s a fear that has always been with me,
because I’ve experienced it more than once.

Mayra

Fear is an insubstantial ocean in which I swim alone.

Lucas

I experience fear as a lifeless, cold, artificial place
where thinking and acting are restricted or even impossible.

Tamara

I am afraid of getting older,
because I can’t control getting older.

Derya

Failure- fracasar
Is it failure if my current life disintegrates?
Is it failure if I have “blown my ideas out of proportion”?
Is it failure if I have to go back to my old life?

Juliane

Fear is much bigger at the beginning, so full-on
and then you uncover everything with the questions:
“Hey, what are you looking for? What are you trying to tell me?”
And then suddenly it can look completely different. Yes.

Salina

So don’t run away, but go into the fear, what can happen to me?
I won’t die, I haven’t died every time.

Gerda

Expose the fear. You take it apart.
You undress it… then it can suddenly look completely different. Yes.

Salina

Just three points:
Localizing and recognizing the fear.
To ridicule the fear.
I can play dead, or I can run away, or I can fight.
I always try to choose the latter. Fight!

Busso

Overcoming this fear is an arduous journey,
but in the end you will emerge as an inner warrior,
a strong and authentic person,
who finds freedom in his independence and peace in his heart.

Diego

Breathing is the smallest thing I can do…
It’s the first step out of (my) fear.

Juliane

Since I got to know the fear of myself,
I have gotten to know myself anew.

Leoni

The fear is not so big anymore…and I know that every time
I dive into its darkness and come out of it,
it will get smaller,
so that one day it will no longer exist.

Mayra

I have a collection of a few situations,
that were completely golden,
where I really felt inside
to be happy right now.

Lucas

What we humans need to overcome our fears,
in my opinion, is love, trust, intuition,
courage and gratitude for life and nature.

Tamara

It’s only like that at this stage.
There is something higher, a higher love and power,
that frees me from fear.

Derya

Fear for me is like this:
When I’m afraid, I need someone to give me hope.
I take it on faith and seek hope and help from God.
