Thanks to @mariannewest for this opportunity.
The day was finally here, I finally got to be home alone, to stay all by myself without any disturbance. I was psyched about it to say in the least. Everyone left early in the morning to spend two days away from home, it was kind of a mini vacation and I opted out of it, "that would give me plenty of time to have fun" or so I thought.
Over the next couple of hours I found it to not be all that I had dreamed it to be, I was incredibly bored and to make matters worse, there was a power outage, I was beyond scared. Don't get me wrong, I have witnessed power outage lots of times but never alone and it didn't help that I went against my parents and watched a scary movie, so you see it just wasn't my day and to top it off, I fell sick, don't even get me started on the nightmares. So when I woke up in the morning and saw the white curtains rise up due to breeze, I thought they had finally come for me.
So you see, my time alone wasn't as dreamy as I thought it would be, I missed my family!!!
You're right, we overestimate what time alone is like. Although it's good, sometimes, and it's particularly good to be able to be by yourself...It's not that great. Gets lonely after a while.
