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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ7LnSPuz3
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfzKB31ShX
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96JDPylM9T
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFleU3xATc
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMRlXXD9L7
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. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOwLaRZnzL
I think about how this room came to be. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMSWh7TDRE
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2xr9rBJqu
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5T7dFWI71
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiun8WFkVP
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNNIbLLtmW
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdgTdJJ5V0
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqVceARSzj
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50HpbRCbjL
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlNm6tsVhc
To be continued...511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCZMiyYAeM
