Gosh when you explained the doctor conversation and instruments and air bubbles 🫧 I got flashbacks to when I had to explain my weird degree and later my job. No one gets it either but it sadly doesn’t sound as cool as yours!
Reflecting on how we internally contract in such situations and our brain goes into overdrive and explanation mode is fascinating. I constantly catch myself wanting to explain myself in the most stupid situations. I feel like we’re taught in society to do it and it takes a lot of conscious effort to not feel like we need to
I am glad you can relate! And I agree, it must be something in society and our upbringing that gives us the feeling we need to (over)explain and justify ourselves and our choices and our actions at the most ordinary occasions.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Dave. You don't know how much this means to me. So incredibly happy that you can relate and enjoy reading my writing! Sending warmest wishes from Norway :)
Don't you think writing out these conversations we have in our heads make it way easier to understand why we are having these thoughts? Suddenly things clear up, while writing them down. It always helps for me anyway. I had a smile on my face reading this Fabienne. Especially these lines: "Why do you hesitate to put your profession on a stupid piece of paper? A stupid paper, that will disappear into the vastness of some stupid file system. For the sole purpose of a doctor identifying the cause of some disgusting snot in your nose?"
Yes, it is amazing. It is much more to the point (and relieving) than simply thinking through these conversations in your head. Also, writing them online makes you double-check and go deeper on the meaning until it sits with you. It is somewhat truly therapeutic.
Glad you enjoyed that little rand about that damn piece of paper!

I totally get the whole Imposter Syndrome and also wanting to correct poeples assumptions about things related to myself...
But what i really want to say is:
1) You are an awesome and very entertaining writer
2):You Rock!
I am so totally loving your missives!
Your Friendly Neighborhood Dave
