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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdkvTgY5IF
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoLCupNdbm
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LQyALyQJP
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmaTSBCCVs
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcuPCwOCkg
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. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PkI4mo4Bh
I think about how this room came to be. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS9Oya8kNv
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MBXrTshR2
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaLFX8gz1Q
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZWh0t8SSD
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCrnzWR0uS
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEGxXKt5R6
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgiIXFWePC
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnn7NgpOzK
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IvaRzN1a5
To be continued...721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4qxVJke1w
