arrangement
"Erica tells me that there is a man called Yves in Violet's life and that they have an 'arrangement' - a circumscribed liason that involves hotels - but Violet doesn't speak to me about him."

Les gens qui disent "mais la vie n'est pas un film, cherie!"ont juste honte d'avoir oublié leur texte.

I - 2009
I moved to Paris. I sold a lot of my stuff. I wrote down my grandmother's lifestory. I got myself a steady partner (more sectarian than I thought).
I broke someone's heart. I spent 7 perfect days. I got my heart broken.
I learned to say "no" in Arab. I learned to say "yes" in French. I hitchhiked near the Irakian border. I couchsurfed in Edinburgh. I had a bottle of beer smashed on my head. I nearly got raped. I gave a police officer a detailed record of my love life. I lost Pina .... and then I stole her back. I learned that repetition changes the size of things. I realized that leaving one's mother tongue is no minor thing. Müde davon seit Monaten in jedem Satz als Minderbemittelte durchzuscheinen, weil einem schon wieder eine grammatikalische Feinheit entfleucht, sich ein Wort im Mund querlegt oder ein geborgter Satz so gar nicht dem eigenen Duktus anpassen will und irgendwann mit Schrecken feststellen, dass es auch im Deutschen für einen schon bessere Zeiten gegeben hat. German syntax in a french phrase, filling the gaps with english expressions. Oh my. (auch nicht von mir).
While on my bike, I more than once resisted the urge to crash into a passing car. I realized I had to drink more (water in general/vodka in particular). I did myself no good. I found myself crying in the metro for no reason for about a month or so followed by weeks filled with sudden outbursts to slowly approaching longlasting sobbing sessions, mild anxiety attacks and a tedious morning depression. I considered therapy. I shared 30m2 with my best friend for a month and we still talk. I found a room of my own. I met Tilda. I spent 2 months of my life selling popcorn and helping people to find their way to "Avatar". (Never complain, never explain.) I took a job in a bookshop (glasses and short skirt and all). I regained that feeling. I made 30 videos in 30 days to get back on track. I met wonderful people that instantly felt so right that I keep forgetting that there was a time that I didn't know them. I learned that there's nothing that Mozart cannot comfort.

WTF ?
So nine months ago I packed all my stuff, left my beautiful, spacious, well-heated appartement and moved to paris in order to restart my life here. I accepted all the hardships and troubles that came with the decrease in comfort and security with the tacit understanding that I would at least escape the grueling reality of Viennese winters. Paris, you cheated on me.
And I have no shoes to leave the house.
