Is being alone that bad? Or can I make it enjoyable?

alone [uh-lohn]
Definition: Separate, apart, or isolated from others

So, what is being alone? It sounds pretty the scary to me in my opinion. However, I beg to differ. In my life, I have learned and understood the true meaning of those word. I have always felt that being alone is actually much, much better than everyone think. Through my experiences, I always think that being alone is to be confined in my own world with no distractions at all and that I am extremely concentrated but this environment is way harder to find than you think especially if you have an irritating sibling which loves loud, deafening music which is the complete opposite of your character and likings. So trust me, when I get that chance, I have no other choice but to cherish it.
Hence, is can I really be happy while being alone? Of course! How? It is so easy. Just take this short period of freedom to concentrate and do whatever you have to do and you will definitely be happy. For instance, there were many moments I spent alone doing something I need to do that needs maximum concentration and it is my only nemesis and nightmare in my life: homework. How frustrating! Even the blog I am doing now is homework. It is as if homework makes the world goes round. Forget it, what needs to be done has to be done.
Therefore, here is a moment I spent alone doing something I enjoyed. The weird thing is it was doing my homework. Without anyone at home, I always used this time to finish my homework as fast as possible because there were no noise, no distractions, nothing. Almost everyday when I return from school, I might be alone. Great!
Thus, there was this one day when I came back to a empty house. Grinning with joy, I rushed to my desk and took out every homework and started to complete them. Piece by piece, I finished them in a personal record-breaking pace. "Being alone and doing homework in a quiet place is such a comfort...", I thought, "Finally, there's no one to distract me!" My homework was soon completed and it was time for a peaceful period of relaxation. Thank goodness I finished it early, or I might do them till the next morning.
In conclusion, I know it is very weird, but yes, doing homework alone is indeed a moment I enjoyed doing alone in my study room. Hence, I just hope I can find more bubbles for me to get in so that I can focus on my homework alone and hope that they never burst. And my conscience just went, "Dream on...."
