Inspired by others' words, I decided to post a quote of my own to my bedroom door: it reads, "I believe a person's room is a window to their soul, which, mom, is the real reason I refuse to clean it..." That said, if I'm to expect you to know anything about me through this blog, I must explain the state of my room to you, because a bedroom is a safe haven from the chaos of daily life, so the configuration of mine may therefore be taken as what makes me feel safe (an essential part to anyone's personality).
In my room, I put my bed by my window so as I fall asleep I can see the stars and when I wake the sun plays across my covers. I put my futon in one corner under a tall set of shelves with a dull lamp sitting in them so I can watch the rain as it washes my windowpanes in the warm, yellow light. I put my old, wooden desk against one wall and taped a cork-noticeboard in front with twine-dolls and recipes pinned to it so I don't get too downhearted when I work; atop my desk are a pencil-filled pale and a matching lime green lamp, and inside it rest my trinkets. And I put quotes on all my walls so I will never be alone.
