Lieben Lieben
‘Well, in my life so far, I've found that being in love is something that comes and goes. And that even when I'm in love with one person, I'm not immune to falling in love with someone else.’
Summer project of the Applied Theatre master's programme by Sarah Hollweger
I have fallen in love many times, even when I was in a happy relationship. I certainly take falling in love seriously, but I have always felt this attraction to others, sometimes more strongly, sometimes less. At first, I was confused. Did this mean that I no longer loved my partner, that something was missing in the relationship? It didn't really feel that way. And it doesn't have much to do with our relationship. Although it does influence it, of course.
What happens when I give this feeling space? Not just in my head, but by taking action. Telling this other person that I find them attractive, getting close to them... even entering into a kind of relationship. Is it even possible to love several people and have intimate relationships with all of them, in which we are sufficiently there for each other? Why does jealousy arise so often?
‘... that's the perfect one forever and ever. But that's also something I struggle with, this forever and ever, because it's also a very nice idea to say no clearly.’
