Created with intention. Crafted with soul.

Welcome to the creative inner world of Jonie Ngo (jlyn) — where art, language, and identity intertwine.

The Journey of by jlyn.

Jonie Ngo began sharing her writing on Medium as a quiet form of self-expression—a digital journal where she could translate her thoughts into words and connect with others through vulnerability and reflection. What started as short poems and personal essays soon grew into a community of readers who resonated with her honesty and introspection.

Through her publication, words by jlyn, Jonie found her voice not just as a writer, but as a storyteller grounded in emotion, identity, and authenticity. As her work evolved, so did her vision. In 2026 she will, she expand her creative journey beyond the screen, and release her first deeply personal book—a heartfelt tribute to the people who shaped her into who she is today.

“and as i bid farewell to these moments,
i pray for those who will continue the journey with me in the next season.”
