Alone...PEACE, or DESPERATION?

Being alone can be quite relaxing, peaceful, and any descriptive words that emphasize that sense of tranquility that one feels when they aren't bothered. I enjoy being alone when there are things that I'd like to think about without any disturbances. I also enjoy being alone when I'd like to get work done and the only distraction is the people around me. I enjoy reading when I'm alone because I feel that I can actually concentrate when alone. I can focus on JUST my work and actually get things completed.

It can be hard to find time to be alone. Sometimes, you may have to be around others because they need something from you or you need something from them. Another possibility is that you both have something to do that requires you both to be in the same area. It can also be hard to find a place to be alone. In my house, my parents are usually at home by the time that I arrive home after school, and so is my younger brother. Usually, other individuals in my household like to come home and relax and watch television and converse. While this is fine, it can be a bit taxing on my attention and my patience with that individual.

Also, I've seen first hand during my spring vacation, that being alone can sometimes cause desperation. In my experience, I've been alone and because I was missing someone that wasn't near me, I went into a state or despair. When I was alone, I couldn't help but think of this other person that was halfway across the world and I had no clue what they were doing and I couldn't really communicate with them that often. I eventually began to overcome this feeling,  but initially, the situation was pretty bad for me.
