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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gkk5p0GEO
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjMCtyivsZ
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1jy3MA9yc
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwma4yplXR
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWwahy69xf
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. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4FLJDZXjU
I think about how this room came to be. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmDsRYTJYt
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uscOUYzMz
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1UfM0CMRi
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7cxr8L7kQ
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mw4Y6X3IQ
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXt7lRFOhs
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqZMjqLbKb
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EmqPH6BVk
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB1suG0tB3
To be continued...638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYKO5wO5Wj
