what would need to change so that you would be less afraid?

Pretty stressful, I am in the midst of exams which are a major source of anxiety for me. It's hopefully the second to last exam phase, and I really don't want to prolong my study even further. So I have to at least pass the two that are left. Which hasn't really been an issue in the past, but I have been postponing exams where I wasn't satisfied with my preparation which is part of the reason that I am studying so much longer than anticipated. I just need to push through.

On the upside, I will be so relieved when this is over. I bought a bike last year and can't wait to go on extended trips with it again as soon as the weather gets warmer here in Germany.

I watched "the boy and the heron" and after the final scenes I couldn't stop crying, which really surprised me. Since then I am regularly more emotional, that movie seemed to have kicked something loose for me..
