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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIy64VMERB
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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlkOlrtDna
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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4SwFjRq2M
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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmgGF2FOYE
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.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D2xIhfxlm
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. 583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s4oBozVww
I think about how this room came to be. 583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9i86JhzCN
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8DGHZk6ZT
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeey3UB5kuo
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCtNCdCxjG
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIYaUuHoR7
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdSPtiCnMB
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBQvtMuDMO
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykdhOiVojl
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhpSy2mlBf
To be continued...583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWlegnL0UJ
