Day 14 | 6 August
Hey guys,
So I got notice that my parents were gonna come get me today instead of tomorrow, so I’ll be checking out at like 12am tonight and I’ll be spending tonight at home instead!! Super excited for that so I got busy packing EVERYTHING and I was ready to go by 8pm haha
This whole nightmare has finally ended and I’m looking forward to human interaction now!

This entire SHN experience was something I didn’t see coming. And living alone for 14 days really wasn’t easy. And it’s not about the physical aspects of living alone, like food or whatnot, my parents and the hotel took fantastic care of me in that sense, but it was about the mental part of things. Being alone for 24 hours a day, for 14 days straight, with no one to banter with, no one to talk to, that is difficult.
And it wasn’t that bad already, for me. I had the blessing of technology which kept me connected with my family and friends. But even then, I was spending 20 over hours each day alone, and that was still tough.
There were frustrating moments of course, when the attempts to contact the relevant agencies just weren’t going well, but there were also heartwarming moments, like when I received help from those I didn’t really expect to hear back from.
This whole entire experience has been unique, yes, but it’s something that I absolutely do not want to go through again. One time is good enough for me.
