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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fbgRjXjrK
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpdQKxL7st
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kFQw8Uc3y
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJRcrvp44M
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRONHMvtfg
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. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1STuAJ09S
I think about how this room came to be. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTspm4Ds2co
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tENdCYVrC
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmhfLqNSmh
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTFaesa2L9
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3TvIyo47O
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4U1e2Fz6h
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrjHsfbEfn
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeUt6l6J9c
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSlqcldtXl
To be continued...708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdhdepLIu0
