Hello! 🙂
My name is Mary Jeana and I prefer to be called Jeana (mainly because I have been called by this name with love, affection, anger, sadness and many other emotions for the last twenty-six years of my life). I did not find comfort in words on one random rainy day in mid-November, but it was rather a slow process.
I played with words in school only for the 10-mark English essay questions which made me string up fancy words into sentences (this was a fun activity for me). The first time I could connect with writing was in May 2015 when I opened my Notes app to pour down my emotions as I was moving out of a place I called ‘home’ for around seventeen years. It helped me rationalize my thoughts and cry ugly tears in the pitch darkness of my room. Fast forward to a few months later and I joined the official newsletter club of my undergrad college where I would report events, interview folks and eventually write creative pieces straight from my heart. This led me to start this blog to have the creative freedom to write anything I wanted as there is a limit to the raw emotions I can share in a college newsletter.

That was the start of my creative exploration with the world of words. I wrote whatever creative ideas I could imagine and, I had my friends proofread for me (I was scared shitless of making grammar mistakes and also needed validation if my writing was good enough). A few years passed with inconsistent posting and during COVID, I regained my creative space. This was a new chapter in my journey and I met many new writers through Instagram which healed my writer’s block (yes, I call it healing because I was suffering from it).
My writing has improved over the years and I can handle more emotions than just a happy-go-lucky teenager theme. I am tapping into my emotions, penning them down and churning them out with any imaginative narration I want. It’s an exciting journey that I am in and I would appreciate it if you could extend your support to me.

Welcome to the world of Jeana!
Love,
Jeana ❤
