When I was a teenager, I just wanted to get away from all the people in my family.
I very could not lay being in the same condo as my mom, my brothers, or my siblings.
Everyone was so full of chaos as well as drama, as well as I simply wanted to be left alone to gossip with my friends as well as play with makeup. It felt like I could never get peace as well as quiet in the house, especially when my brothers as well as siblings were continually bursting into my room as well as harassing me. I tried locking the door as well as even barricaded myself inside, however nothing would stop my younger siblings from splitting in as well as bothering me endlessly. Eventually, I talked to my mom as well as convinced her to let me transfer into the basement, but at the time, this was paradise. I moved into the basement in the dead of summer, when the outdoor heat as well as humidity was unbearable on a yearly basis. My mom was running the central cooling system every morning, but she never utilized the cooling system enough to fully cool down the house. The basement, on the other hand, was inherently cool as well as moist from being underground. All Summer long, I slept like a queen in the continually cold conditions. I thought I had solved all my living problems… that was, until winter time emerged. Suddenly, my basement paradise was not so comfortable. The cold air was unbearable as well as I couldn’t increase the air temperature even with a dozen electric space heaters. I shivered every morning, as well as honestly sad about hypothermia as night settled in. After a month of cold torture, I begrudgingly moved back upstairs to be tormented by my younger siblings until the Summer heat returned again.
