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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA8kLu8RKj
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfYL9BIivf
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdf0D6eDgI
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oPBy57qkA
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1GQpplt7J
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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLKLM7wVu
I think about how this room came to be. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpwbdXF6tZ
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Iz970y6cl
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E9DJrtNki
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurJq7BBtoR
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcOtbuKibl
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsdLP9iGQz
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDazPdBt4gl
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffs7j69asr
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHdbSAk5C
To be continued...731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBhmZOyuip
