For in-between: Letters from a young hairdresser's brain to the psychiatrist (1999)

Bern, the 22.10.99

Dear Doctor

Unfortunately, I cannot send you the requested CV yet, since I have to write it first! Respectively I'm afraid, I can't write my résumé yet, because I have to live my life first! Before I even have anything like a run in life! With writing, that you asked me to do, next to the work measures, By the way, things are going downhill. I must say, I would like to poke an ear. But there is something, I'll never make it: the Ton, that I was born with, to a market, we even say, a literature market, cut to size. You know, in a way i would like to be you! Then I would like a big one, blank book, all of your patients' thoughts and revelations, their great messing up - I mean, you are, such internal effusions, entrusted to you by total strangers? - to a single one, Weave together as endless a narrative thread as possible. Then I would tell the story, which results from the narrative thread, Bring you, and you could then by means of your many years of professional training, among others at the Psychologic Institute in America, filter a personality structure. Einen Menschen aus dem Flickteppich inklusive einer Diagnose!

I mean the disease of this patchwork person longing? I mean insecurity? Call it procrastination, Be prevented, Storminess? Life?

Unfortunately, at just under twenty-six I still don't know a job, that could suit me in terms of clothing. It's just too bad, that I am not a piece of clothing! I was thinking in the Globus department store today, When I stood by the stockings. Incidentally, I was just turning away in front of a mirrored shelf, because i believed, i would have you, doctor, a few meters behind me, also before the (male) Discovered stockings.

The problem with the stockings is mine, that I always get a big hole in the big left toe after the third day. The problem with the socks, however, that I have right and left of it, but a lot, lots … Verstreute … lost … Why actually, doctor, it is so difficult to find the right sock, that matches a left sock, What do you mean? Let's look into this problem once? I mean, not in the warehouse now, not in the expensive globe! But with you, comfortable, in practice.

Best regards
