It's not too late to find that feeling again, ever. Midlife, I feel this conviction strongly. I do think it takes a different kind of courage to get in touch with, yet yes, definitely yes. ♥️
I hope so. It’s hard to imagine when you’re stuck in a rut or tied down by responsibilities. I think I did feel some version of it when I went to Korea. It was the closest that I had gotten. But yes, maybe midlife can bring some surprises!
"Blueberry summer!" could have been the title for this issue...gorgeous image.
Really enjoyed reading, I couldn't help but think about how catastrophic you dropping out and going off into the wilderness must have seemed to your parents—but then again, that's a stereotype, right? My parents would have probably supported me. Thanks for sharing.
It was, and it also wasn’t? I’ve made references to my parents reaction before but will probably tackle that in another newsletter! Actually, now that I have kids I really can’t imagine not knowing where my kid is for months at a time 😬. I think at that point my parents were used to me going off in the summers. I didn’t realize, now that I am paying college tuition, what walking away from a free education meant. But I did eventually go to grad school so I redeemed myself 😂
Oh I bet. I love blueberries so much, but I don’t think I was able to eat them for a long time after!
"blueberry summer "- I love this.

This is so beautiful Jenna.
You are so inspiring.
Keep going
Thank you, Abi. You too - keep going. I sometimes get this feeling of freedom from your IG posts. The wonder of new experiences shine through.
Thanks Jenna.

I am subscribing to your YT channel! How fun to start a new creative outlet with video.
Thanks for subscribing. Editing these style of videos the so long, I'm wondering what the payoff is 😬
Your YouTube video is so relaxing and calm. I love it!
Thanks for watching Yuezhong — and for the feedback!
