Being Alone

 Being alone can be extremely frightening or relaxing depending on the person.  Some people are dependent on others and cannot be left alone. They feel uncomfortable and vulnerable to bad situations.  Especially at night when a person who feels like this is left alone in a house they could begin to hear noises and think that someone else is in the house with them.  People can get caught in their own mind games and truly believe that there is someone in the house with them and they freak themselves out.  This can be a terrifying experience that could effect someone for the rest of their life.  On the other hand some people enjoy having their alone time.  They find it relaxing and rejuvenating to have some time by themselves.  Certain people need that time alone so they can reflect and relax by themselves.  Depending on the person they could need more or less alone time in their everyday lives.   
     In my opinion, I enjoy having my alone time.  Growing up as an only child I was used to being alone with just my parents at home with me.  When my parents go out together or they are both not home I enjoy having the house all to myself.  It is nice and quiet so I can just relax and have time to myself.  I find it  very peaceful to be home alone because no one bothers me and I can take time and reflect on things that have happened.   Of course I enjoy hanging out with my friends, but I do need my alone every once in a while.  I do wish that I had more time to myself because I feel I would be able to get a lot more things done.  Although I am an only child my parents can sometimes be extremely distracting.  They are always making noise throughout the house and sometimes it can be hard to concentrate.  I love the quiet soothing sound of an empty house.  
     When I am alone I do many different things.  Most of the time I try to take advantage of the peace and quiet and either do some reading or homework  i can get more things done alone without any distractions. There are other I times other times I will blast music throughout the house.  When I blast the music I also sing very loud which is a lot of fun, but I am always embarrassed to do it in front of anyone else.   My favorite time to be alone is when I am driving.  Although I do enjoy company sometimes when I drive I like driving alone too.  Being alone can be a terrifying experience for some people, but some people need their time alone.
