This is my room now. It has changed a lot since I moved here 6 years ago. I have had seven rooms of my own so far and they all had one thing in common; an item with blue stripes. Some things that have never left my room are: 1) A colourful keychain which was the first thing I ever bought. It cost 50 drachmas. My body still remembers the thrill of it. 2) A tiny steel suitcase in which I used to keep all my secrets as a kid. My secrets were safe with me. 3) A dvd which is a VHS family video shot in 1996.

This is not the room I am currently living in. It’s the one I left behind last summer. I miss it a lot although I know it’s best to live in it when the leaves are green and the sun’s out. I really hope I will get it back after my return. It doesn’t look good though. The room I am seeping in now is dark and I am sharing it with someone. It’s quite okay too, I just don’t have a lot of pictures of it, as my iPhone 7 has died and my old iPhone 5 can’t cope with the darkness.
