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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpHFKWIuhQ
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT4rCs4cMp
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn1ytEcUu5
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YyyogZaai
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.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5FtC3HhDL
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. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjerpAbrzm
I think about how this room came to be. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJVESVCAtY
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQKefMvO7C
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEyhcfH9sa
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb5cUcuALL
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS8Zc9SQOr
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVJMrOfqK2
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0MsoOoqP3
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE9ViDKF4C
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXAOOqEyvU
To be continued...585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D3S0M5Z0f
