Hi, I’m Jitsie!

What kind of name is Jitsie? It’s a nickname a co-worker started calling me years and years ago, and it spread like peanut butter on bread, slowly but surely, and it stuck.

It stems from my last name, Jitsawat.

Where my girls at?

Do you enjoy reading about other people’s stories?

Like to journal?

A nostalgic millennial?

And…are you currently looking for a safe space to discuss relationships?

If so, I’m glad you’re here.

Why Jitsie writes:

One day, a story idea I’ve had in my head for over a decade began pouring out of me, gushing from brain to paper like a fountain overflowing. It wasn’t until I started that piece, which you can read here, that I realized I hadn’t written constructively since I was in high school, something I was once passionate about in my youth but had pushed to the back closet of my mind to make room for work and home buying and child rearing. You know, all those grown-up things.

I dusted off the cobwebs, unpacked my passion, and got to it.
