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.365Please respect copyright.PENANAduoousUxQ5
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.365Please respect copyright.PENANAwHRX65x0z2
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.365Please respect copyright.PENANABOuILVFo2u
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.365Please respect copyright.PENANAbIkTDHitqA
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.365Please respect copyright.PENANAJx97YtC6FO
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. 365Please respect copyright.PENANA7GTzwDSv6A
I think about how this room came to be. 365Please respect copyright.PENANAl2nYE7MDSj
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.365Please respect copyright.PENANAV0diTfcFAx
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 365Please respect copyright.PENANAIYENUYo8lH
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 365Please respect copyright.PENANAAfkbcP9hEk
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 365Please respect copyright.PENANAxzKN2O5V4B
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 365Please respect copyright.PENANAJPLjrzQx6Z
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....365Please respect copyright.PENANADEfNA7J9ZU
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 365Please respect copyright.PENANAAYoq9UTPtR
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 365Please respect copyright.PENANADhrbn86Ymm
To be continued...365Please respect copyright.PENANAGFQ373S8Qm
