My shelf has several books on them. On the far left corner of my Cupboard my Art supplies and paintings are gathered. -On the Fridge there are various alphabet letters that my younger brother rearranges every few day, we also have a fathers day card and some photos of the family.

-Well mostly it says that I have a deep affection for my younger brother and that I enjoy painting as well as reading. -The photos indicate that I have a close relationship with the individuals in the photos. -All this just means that I don't hang up or broadcast anything does not appeal to me only things that do.
