I make new rules, the way I had more than a decade ago.
1.
Never a flood until a trickle fails.
2.
You will give up your secret in your own time.
3.
This is not a task.
It is a meditation on the meaning of life and death.
I was 28 when I came back to live at home when the markets crashed and I lost my job.
More than that, I lost my career.
And then I lost my desire to find another.
Living with my parents was inconvenient and embarrassing.
Despite the intervening years, returning to their roof and their rules ignited every rebellious teenage instinct I thought I'd grown past.
We fought.
All the time.
I shouted at them, which was new.
Before, I'd always hidden the way I felt and tried to blend into the sofa, my bed, the walls.
Both of my brothers and my elder sister returned too.
And of course, Alicia, still the baby at 20, was still living at home while she went to school.
It was Alicia that made me look at the diary with a new set of eyes.
