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.364Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ8zIK68vS
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.364Please respect copyright.PENANABd4SkcRV4K
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.364Please respect copyright.PENANAmY6dYX6W3N
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.364Please respect copyright.PENANAxaZq0PSFKM
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.364Please respect copyright.PENANAOgiDJ6dv77
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. 364Please respect copyright.PENANAi8M6kvaciG
I think about how this room came to be. 364Please respect copyright.PENANAP1znHpWNjn
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.364Please respect copyright.PENANALMyaH9ThU4
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 364Please respect copyright.PENANArcBcfDzMpl
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 364Please respect copyright.PENANAe7k2Ip9Sgg
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 364Please respect copyright.PENANAImbEPe8yvO
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 364Please respect copyright.PENANAawZmaUQW19
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....364Please respect copyright.PENANAKNrOeFOg4K
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 364Please respect copyright.PENANAsmbHF9wf86
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 364Please respect copyright.PENANAcn6ZN3ZaRI
To be continued...364Please respect copyright.PENANArZYM2J4plU
