    Hi Jin. I just learned about you and your journey. To be able to move fast and cover long distances on your own steam is such a marvellous thing in my opinion. The bicycle is probably one of the most underrated inventions of mankind.
    I lost my legs to polio at the age of 1 and yet have lived a fuller life than most people. I am almost 50 now .
    Of all the things I miss not being able to do because of my legs, cycling is top of the list. And here I see you, who has travelled all over the world on a bicycle. You have lived my dream. So do not be disheartened by small failures like this one. We can never have everything we desire. Never. You have done a great job and no, one-third of your life has not been wasted! STay strong and pedal on!

    However, I am not dying and I am continually writing the story of my life. And will continue to do so until my body says no more. I rode 100km today, and seen towns in my area. Next week, a new day and a new adventure.

    What you did is amazing. I have followed many cyclists over the years. You are the only woman that I know who did what you did. Of coarse you will feel depress after that great journey. This the most amazing thing anyone could have accomplish. It will be hard for you for a while to figure doing something any greater. Many Olympic Champions go to that type of depression after their final victory. It is normal. The COVID did not help either. But many use that opportunity to realign their career into something related or they love. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. As far as I am concerned, you are my hero.

    It's a shame thing's got so bad for you when you were so close to completing your very challenging goal.
    As some one who has battled with Depression for most of my adult life I can understand how thing's can go from going great to wallowing in the dept's of despair so easily.
    I myself have been an avid cyclist since the 1970's but I have never even considered taking on such a challenge...all I can say is I wish you all the best and keep going till you get there.

Along your road you have experienced way more than most who have ever lived. Along the way you have inspired so many (including me) with your courage, determination and strength. As for the people who stayed home and have a job, car and maybe starting a family, while they have good things, they long for the adventure, freedom, and experiences that you have had. So, in truth, no one has it all. You simply are writing a new chapter in the life of Jin.

      Yes, I signed, but I think the timing of Jin’s “campaign launch” was a bit unfortunate. The TH-cam algorithm, for one thing, seemed to have dropped Jin, and she herself had a gap in publishing at the start of covid. Many followers from 5 years ago (or more) may have dropped out of the loop. I always thought that all she needed was one person in one Korean embassy around the world to realise what a valuable treasure they had in Jin and the Yellow Canary bike.

    2023년 마지막 날, 그리고 2024년 새해 첫 해돋이를 함께 기다리던 게하에서 만난 청년입니다.
    올 한 해를 누나처럼 멋진 분이랑 시작해서 좋은 기운을 받은 것 같아요.
    영상들 보면서 영감도 많이 받고 또 올 한해 열심히 살아봐야겠다는 동기부여도 생겼어요. 특히 이 영상은 보면서 눈물이 났네요. 저도 누나처럼 제가 살아온 과거에 대해 의심하고 내가 지금 뭐하고 있나 싶은 생각에 최근까지 우울증이 왔었거든요. 삶에 방향성을 잃고 많이 방황했는데,
    다행히 지금은 잘 극복해서 올해부터는 다시 열정적으로 살아보려고 다짐했거든요.근데 마침 이 영상속 누나의 이야기가 너무 공감이 돼서 큰 힘이 됐습니다.
    이 댓글 보실지 모르겠지만, 앞으로 하시려는 일들 꼭 잘되실거라고 믿어요. 제가 촉이 좀 좋은 편이거든요?? 나름 통찰이 있다고 믿는데 누나는 분명 멀지않은 미래에 훨씬더 많은 사람들 앞에서 좋은 영감을 주는 사람이 되어있으실거에요. 응원하겠습니다. 저의 2024년을 더 설레게 만들어 주셔서 감사해요:)

    Jin, thank you so much for this, very inspirational. I've only done short bike tours, but I'm familiar with that type of feeling near the end, when suddenly everything loses focus and you fall into an emotional slump. I'm glad to see you are snapping out of it! In time, you'll develop new goals - maybe on the bike, maybe something else, it doesn't really matter. I love your metaphor about life being a pen.

    When my wife & I cycled within our world (18 Countries), the time came for it to end. Deep depression set in, it took the best part of a year to face life again. Listening to you today, has more meaning than you can imagine - like the adage *you must walk in someones shoes to understand*. NEVER undersell yourself Jin, you are awe inspiring, in both your simplicity and your humanity. I SINCERELY hope you become the first person in history to cycle North Korea. I too hope I live long enough to see the Korea(s) re-united.

    You gained another subscriber and fan. Your down time was not wasted. Every minute of your journey - whether you think it at the time or not - forms part of who you are. The boring hills, the ‘pointless’ riding around waiting for something to happen, all of these moments create your story, your profile, your history. Would have been easy to just give up and fly home. But deep down you knew there was a reason for your place. I look forward to following your journey :)

People need to hear this simple but true message. I feel your point is that everyone’s life book is worth writing, whatever the story, because it’s theirs. Writing the life story feels like a sense of active mindfulness. I really admire you. Please keep writing your life because it will be an example to others. Everyone has a life to keep writing. Blessings and light to you. Stay safe. Be well. Look for your next chapter.
