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.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPNWT0VwyQ
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.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJVbpsbIMa
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.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDmJL2CEZg
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.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWqiMbz5pR
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.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZu5nB2uEx
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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDiy7Axk2p
I think about how this room came to be. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzitJIBcia
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fzg8lMKJ7
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamuZMd4X7o
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuyUkO4dLE
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkCNCblTwm
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwytwcFqXW
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDumx74C6rL
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4dOO5XwnY
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1fjdbc6q9
To be continued...582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPCzakZX0D
