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.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bAsd3A9Mp
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.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3AY4gNrg1
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.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sCmbRdfp9
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.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rshPX6dny
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.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jEBg7Z9xM
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. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuMR49hgtS
I think about how this room came to be. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcGVtPrmFQ
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5jlBSVjnf
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VdJNOD82H
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEIrfu527a
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYKEQCCLPR
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYqgqaiUW2
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwSr5fUsEm
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAFs6Pxnm1
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LxWzqJgJQ
To be continued...575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIZl0oVZav
