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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy3epZ4ifO
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs4B1XBmKU
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfzv4TaQt4
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfaDgvqtJY
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUopWdGW5CT
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. 623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA9H3W6q17
I think about how this room came to be. 623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvCtjHm4yT
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSSd9rKeS2
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXDTQTYYoh
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvun0cw792e
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1WF3G598K
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r2JYbjxwp
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXNHeYDmUY
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1d4j5US1N
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AkyWXhGeb
To be continued...623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcELVq30CHN
