there and back again

poetry, thoughts, book reviews, travelogue...


My name is Evelyn, and in addition to writing I enjoy painting and drawing. I specialize in portraiture, and you can find my work at elizavetarose.deviantart.com. Also, I’m kind of a dork. Find dork me at leclairage.tumblr.com...

CHINA.

Hello and welcome to your future, baby girl. It’s time to go, time to fly, time to fall out of all your trodden down routines. It’s time to listen to the music, time to turn yourself upside down until you find a place you’d like to be. 

Beijing seems like some kind of place to get your feet wet. 

Things I’ll be missing:

  • the wind off the water.
  • the sand in my toes
  • my cell phone
  • English
  • French
  • Facebook
  • books in English
  • my watercolors
  • people
  • the way the waves crash me to sleep.

But I wish I didn’t have to come home so soon.

I’ll keep writing, if anyone at home wants to avoid missing me too much. Skype, email, y’all know where to go. Love you.
