Hope you are feeling better. As someone who has struggled with long covid since the beginning of the pandemic, your words were exactly what I needed today. ☺️
I came to the comments to say as a girl from Chicago— we will never claim Kentucky as Midwest. Had no idea until today that I had such strong biases about Kentucky.
I needed this so badly! Thank you for writing such a beautiful piece.
Jess, this was exactly what I needed to read this morning. I hope you feel rested and rejuvenated after your travels!
Me too ❤️
Love this - "yes, and..." is such a simple yet effective philosophy (and, dare I say it, a more refined version of "YOLO"?)
lol yes!
Jess, I love the solo sojourn re-start ⭕️❌
And.. thank you for the reminder of the “show me how good it gets” mantra.
I’m ALL ABOARD on this 🔮🪬🎆
I’ll never, ever, ever forget a life interlude which began w me musing aloud, “what’s the worst that can happen ?”
Oh my goodness.
You have SUCH imagination & curiosity, wisdom & grit.
Thank you for being a beacon in the midst of the whole fuckeroo 🪇🪇🪇
show me
Just out here trying to survive the fuckeroo
The fuckeroo’s in the rear view mirror now
Admitted we were powerless over the whole fuckeroo; surrendered; pulled up our waders & liberally applied jungle level bug repellent.

Glad you’re feeling better! I also had Covid last month and it was bruuuuutal. Safe travels xx
It truly kicked my ass!

Oh I enjoyed this. Thanks for this refresher. Letting out a deep exhale in 3, 2, 1….
Kentucky is definitely the South, but it’s also definitely both?!
Love this so much.
Loved reading this, thanks.
Yes to all of this. Sometimes, a change of scenery and an unclear agenda for your travels is the best reset button of all.
as a girl from lexington - kentucky is the south and i have to die on that hill! 😂
I agree with this!
