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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9oUG6WROb
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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhDxAa0dXC
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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu50hfhbFz
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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8tiuL9fFH
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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0DCdDOLtL
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. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquqfJFY5eq
I think about how this room came to be. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xpB2rou5W
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA2NqnvYaQ
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRqly5iayk
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kzkiVPzjY
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQmh1mOuU1
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6hpNy2q02
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB6QuJd89P
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkTlemeRYU
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n4u5Imi4b
To be continued...699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dDPQw0ebx
