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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJxnQ9Q6hN
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4YzOzkvHt
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV5vEmpAW0
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwhQ0dr9ko
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcznpl6nbZO
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. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSsxBrJqxn
I think about how this room came to be. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNlgBjrTct
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6UBxvlNux
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqIy2HE5Oh
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNvEC8eOfg
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWseirrrB4E
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBju3UBGGX
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIroLfm1Ff
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXVRIMTP6p
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWOQqdQL2d
To be continued...626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe6B2CXVfp
