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.915Please respect copyright.PENANAznGfTtzumg
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.915Please respect copyright.PENANAiea2uJunGq
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.915Please respect copyright.PENANAMRTctKkN18
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.915Please respect copyright.PENANAxs5hbURAjz
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.915Please respect copyright.PENANAmG2ySZMMGv
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. 915Please respect copyright.PENANADuNEFzc5lY
I think about how this room came to be. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAe1DLFBjbNO
It was meant to be a dining room. Then it became my father's music room.915Please respect copyright.PENANAU2kIDYlbEj
After I returned from my travels, it became my room. But it took time and persuasion to get this space. 915Please respect copyright.PENANALPiA5CtiMT
That was because this house was built with idea that I was moving away. I wasn't supposed to live here. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAd9cZAG3C18
Plans changed, but this is not my house. It never will be. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAJYP0nVC5uD
As long as I sleep in this small dining room filled with flowers and packed boxes, it will not be my home. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAQn7tYPI7X4
That's okay though. Soon, I'll have my own place to call home. That is; if everything goes according to plan....915Please respect copyright.PENANAqgZ6lqyfzX
I have four days. Four more days until I know if I can make my next move towards home again. 915Please respect copyright.PENANAYucW2d9p6x
But presently, my work calls me. So I'll take my pen up and continue to illustrate till my PaperGarden is vibrant with color. 915Please respect copyright.PENANADzIZ9tedRI
To be continued...915Please respect copyright.PENANA33LsmOeZs4
