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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLofh0zbdY
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCpe2hrVhQ
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fKKUM7AHb
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh2Qq8JdID
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY8CeCML1u
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. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHHPqw3zcD
I think about how this room came to be. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyNGhgvFhu
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWdSUMBmCe
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2RahstWEq
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtSO4bCHB1
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4lAgPM0NS
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc4f94KUWn
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPVYwV8lqf
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp6ilKwMdO
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRtp6g1XqA
To be continued...704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I1GxbFko9
