i live in a box where a chandelier hangs in the middle. From the silver-colored chandelier hangs a wooden dragon and faux ivy.
On the bookshelves hang Christmas lights and more ivy. They carry books, figures, storage boxes colored in pale blues and beiges.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3sRstREy6
My bed is small, twin-sized, and covered in old toys. Two shelves rest above my head, as my bed is to the wall. Dangling from the shelves are dried flowers--flowers that died four months ago.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZq3EM2yDO
I don't have a closet. Instead, I have a junky clothes rack that I cover with a sheet when I'm not getting clothes.
An ugly Swarovski clock hangs in my room. It was the price I had to pay in order to even get this small space. At least I have my mother's saber with me. It helps me forget the clock.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqFtiQ0PTG
In a week, it will be April. That means heat is coming through the two windows in my room. I'm glad I have a somewhat strong box fan to help.
Right now, this small room is messy. It usually is.
I always clean at the end of the week. I think it's symbolic of something, like cleaning a chalk slate at the end of a school day.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHcneWg1Dk
When I'm anxious or depressed, I leave it this way. But whether or not I'm feeling better, I need to clean it up. So I start cleaning.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKyt3KuaTN
It's the middle of the night. My room is clean and all of the fairy lights brighten the room. They express the pastel hues of the faux flowers I have in my small room. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03TaXwDQtH
I think about how this room came to be. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGV4jMlwFb
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB1k5Rqxpp
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO1sDOfKIx
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBORaVeeBV
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG7nleYkAb
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpvdXjPUW8
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMXZoL3nu9
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe3lZ1eEl3
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWRBNNVRUp
To be continued...639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwH9BqWA79
