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.646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwGWs8OVHd
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.646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoLlO4Ipq2
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.646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuufiw2XVHi
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.646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWAj6cgXJ5
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.646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWopRU2muf
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. 646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd2lzho2ru
I think about how this room came to be. 646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zu4AyAcmK
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetSSuJT1Et
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyfWWBIDug
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfW0djBWdZ
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGWcxWlOG9
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPIluALVQN
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm06E2Ovkl
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwERnOXFmAO
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2JbkU6tuK
To be continued...646Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlsgrCpbJq
