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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfgbFRs7sC
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBBaRQQFZs
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrCirTn6kV
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcbfqbaLMw
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFr9EAglbZ
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. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCt3qJsQkQ
I think about how this room came to be. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1VlmmOoc6
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TrkuWqEDM
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTykiPhw74I
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK65v65r6FD
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzGeHlv2WZ
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYyelgGFcm
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJnFCNCPlx
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSXSgk7UYJ
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbvXIlhcjZ
To be continued...734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWUo8Tgb1k
