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.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaZLxXf1zc
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.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5rl9kgRdC
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.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5dvC0Raah
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.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7kpHdRAU1
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.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumUBskNeKT
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. 601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc967gLVm8W
I think about how this room came to be. 601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL831vZmbcq
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAAOAoN7O9
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP1vMk7DIa
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrHxdyTtRR
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCizU9WTJc
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uo4XV0QEC
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H0hj5FcAt
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw60bKMRgiE
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr4eavqvkr
To be continued...601Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwEUCotc8M
