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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWFD2UMpGa
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCuV6JqlS
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ698i1cPSCw
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuiK9bNPx4
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwnQaNIomo
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. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesFSnahgoZ
I think about how this room came to be. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Szn1pKBD
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsP3HhcTLm
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiLnfQLqbU
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CXwjGz4p3
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3tLgWMupR
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOlWL24Irr
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh2KD5cf4C
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PHsbKnhFz
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zip1IBJhg
To be continued...512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaNncx5EZq
