"Life's journey leads us to new and unfamiliar places, where we are called upon to adapt, to learn to breathe with renewed lungs. This process of change can be fraught with fear – fear of crossing the street, fear of being crossed by the unfamiliar, fear of not measuring up, fear of feeling isolated. We may even find ourselves bearing the weight of other people's sadness as if it were our own, struggling to find the courage to confront injustices. It is in these moments that we may feel guilty or overwhelmed, and the temptation to retreat into ourselves can be strong.
But what if these very experiences – these moments of fear, uncertainty, and vulnerability – were reasons to embrace life rather than reasons to be afraid? What if they were opportunities to connect us, all together?
"Non Aver Paura" (Don't Be Afraid) is the song I composed for Riforma's BATCH#3, between Turin and Berlin. It exists as a bridge, a bridge towards affirmative embraces and a love that saved my life without asking for anything in return. It is a biographical song, rooted in a body that struggles with an embodied fragility together with the fragility of other bodies. It mixes colors that patiently places on new surfaces, searching for something of itself in other' eyes."
