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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZoWNLl4Q
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QwtEKtS65
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19LQhiNEiU
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYP4x4LyvX
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd1dybxBb3
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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDHbWuvlLB
I think about how this room came to be. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8aEdSJld3
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJtdqIBpoQ
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalm8Eyd29u
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7ZAQ6Lyc6
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiwbQoce6c
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUltALWrhd9
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7n1td18V
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ygAqvesz
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmSeGTz6sk
To be continued...578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRfFPYHO8V
