one of the first steps in becoming independent

so the past few days I have been staying by myself at home. My parents and sister have gone down to visit my cousin's family leaving me to become a little more independent. I had my transportation lined up to take me and bring me home from classes. The first night was okay, the second I slept over David's and it was a relief in a way knowing that I wouldn't be sleeping alone. There would be other people in the house at night. I know I can be a big girl and prove to myself and my parents that I can rough it out. I know I can do it too. I've stayed by myself for weekends but not this long before.
