Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Tonight is my first night home alone in my life. I’ve been alone heaps in the day, but never overnight before. Pretty exciting, yet terrifying at the same time though
I’m thinking keeping busy until I go to sleep will help, so I guess tonight is cleaning night (shamefully overdue 😭)
I hope you don’t mind my asking but how old are you? I’m just wondering how you’ve got to this point in your life never having spent a night alone. I don’t mean this rudely I’m just genuinely curious.
It’s okay. I’m 16. And how I got here without spending a night alone is just that I only lived with my mum for the first 11 years of my life and she never left me alone overnight, and in residential care you can’t be left alone ever at all for any reason
16!! Agree, that’s still fairly young to be on your own.
Yeah, I feel like I’m in such a weird situation where I’m deemed too young to do half the things I want to do, but old enough to live more or less by myself
