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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1hlEzW6lX
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTJzvCPsNH
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kya55A1fh
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJhh1Mkff
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0l9FhPIj8
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. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlwhv8UpP2
I think about how this room came to be. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz27nxzTT3h
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsGYAVDvue
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LR02ziToE
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHXnMOtBmb
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1mYKiyVIw
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegfjNVJo0d
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgzuLgy1AP
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYm7jOfRr3
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcNTYvWD9d
To be continued...671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vMxVM26LH
