If only I had a feeling that things fit together and that everything will be all right in the end. It would be so good.

Maybe I am spending too much time alone. I ought to spend more time outdoors. Maybe talk to someone. Who would I talk to? Kim is so far away and Kent is a bad friend. I could always chat to my parents, but I don’t like worrying them with my problems. I’d rather they believe I am well and getting better all the time.

When I was little, Dad and I used to walk around our house. He would hold my hand and then we’d walk around the house. For some reason I recall it as a very good and meaningful thing. We lived in the house. It was where I ate and slept. And we also walked around it.

I take a break from hammering and cycle up to my parents to tell Dad I’d like to walk around the house with him.

He has just had his afternoon nap and thinks it’s a little strange. I tell him not to ask any questions. I tell him I need it. I need to know what it feels like to walk around the house with him. It’s part of something I’m working on, I tell him.

Dad puts on wellingtons and a coat, and then we walk around the house. Dad and I. We are walking all the way around the house.

It’s not quite like it used to be, but it’s all right. I hadn’t thought walking around the house with Dad would solve everything. I had moderate expectations. Dad says we can do it again later, if I feel it’s necessary. I tell him it’s quite possible. Dad also says I ought to go out more. Meet people. Maybe a girl.
