Welcome
Hey there!
I’m Jammita!
Welcome! You managed to land on this page. So, you are either really bored or just curious, either way, I’m glad you’re here.
These are the latest things I’ve published
Aren’t we all idiots?
Some unnecessary background information I went to the Netherlands last year. Well, I went to Rotterdam. I wouldn’t say it was a fun trip, but it felt good to be back after...
What is a Jammita?
I’ve written stories for more than twenty years, but I haven’t published a single word (till now). The last part is not exactly 100% accurate. Because writing is a part of...
Office daydreaming
7:15 a.m. She hears the engine of the cars passing by slowly. The occasional honking of a few parents could never be missed. The school will start in a few minutes. She knew...
A bit more about me…
My dad used to tell me stories almost every night when I was a little girl. Out of nowhere, he would come up with these amazing, elaborate stories, mostly fiction. Sometimes I would write a few of them in this black-blue colored notebook that my mom gave to me. I enjoyed writing. Sometimes I even wrote a few stories of my own. I don’t know where that notebook is anymore. And I don’t remember any of the stories that my father used to tell me, but I remember how much they inspired me, encouraged me, and especially how they made me feel. That same feeling I wanted to transfer to other people too. Coming from a small Caribbean island, can make you doubt yourself sometimes. I often thought that my dreams were too big. My husband, who can self-teach himself about anything, thinks that it’s nonsense to think like that. My father may have inspired me, but my husband was the first person to believe in me. Now at age 31, I finally feel empowered, like my eight-year-old self once was. I spend too much time worrying, obeying, and conforming, but I am done with that. Now the sun will shine brightly on me (even though I don’t actually like the sun). So I hope you will stick around, learn more about me and grow (together).
