Who?

I’m Jen. I’m a post-grad with an English degree, a media/news nerd, and a big fan of the Paddington Bear franchise. I’m a Virgo Sun, Leo Moon, & Cancer Rising. I also write things, including (but not limited to) articles, essays, and songs. You can find me also find me on Instagram & Twitter.

What?

This is a newsletter about…well, realizing stuff. It’s where I work through things I’ve been thinking about and attempt to make sense of them. You can expect musings on anything from the latest Taylor Swift album to the intricacies of online community.

Where?

I’m based in California, the central part.

When?

Every Wednesday! *currently on hiatus; will be back soon!

Why?

If you’re asking why I’m doing this: basically, I miss writing! I spent 3.5 years in college reading, thinking, writing, and rewriting, and I want to keep up the practice. Plus, I’m a huge fan of email newsletters and wanted to take a stab at writing one so I could learn more about the process.

If you’re asking why you should subscribe: I hope you might enjoy some of my essays and that they might resonate with you. I certainly don’t have it all figured out, but I’m always learning and growing—and I invite you to learn and grow alongside me.

Subscribe to like, realizing stuff.
