Don't kill me, I'm in love

Corinna-Rosa Falkenberg

"I am convinced that every person always has the choice to act out of fear or courage. It takes courage to love. By love, I do not mean here the general ability to love, nor the comfort love that makes the framework of one's vulnerability controllable and manageable. I'm talking about the love that goes deep inside and that many people like to protect themselves from because it makes them vulnerable. I am interested in the process that this love can trigger and what it takes to live it out in a healthy way because I am convinced that this is possible. This kind of love is certainly not for cowards because it carries both the risk of self-destruction and, at the same time, the chance for great happiness. That's the stuff my novella is about."
