I'm not actually interrupted, but hi, it's me, and my blog has recently rebranded from using my name to melancholila. I will not ever mention my name again on this blog, due to a simple reason: privacy! Hehe. As someone who's currently working and is always actively searching for better jobs, offers, and opportunities, I am a bit uncomfortable with anyone who knows/is getting to know me professionally to get into my personal space, and if you've been reading, this blog is a very personal space for me. My posts range from books/movie/music talks (that get personal) to poems from the most heartbreaking phases of my life.
And previously (and even now), if you search my full name on any search engines, this blog would show up at the top, and obviously, I don't want the first thing any HR found about me on the Internet to be my chaotic review of Sabrina Carpenter's latest album or my emotional post on how I hated Wednesdays as a 15-year-old.
I have been using my name for this blog for so long, and also for the domain that I bought, so this decision wasn't made lightly. An incident a few months back inspired me to do this, but it wasn't until recently that I actually wanted to act on it. I'm okay with my friends knowing me through this blog, but once the people from my workplace get involved, it can feel very invasive. And I can't even blame anyone but myself, because I was the one who put myself out there, publicised the place where I pour my heart and soul out under my actual name.
So, hi again. Welcome, if you're new, and to the people who have been here for a while, I'm grateful that you stayed. And if you're one of my IRL workplace people who somehow still found this blog, bear in mind that I only let you see what I want you to see. Melancholila is my public space, where I write about the stuff that I love, ranging from books, movies and music, to melancholic poems and personal experiences. This is the place I process a lot of things that happened in my life, and sharing them makes me feel better because I know someone is listening, and it's nice to get people's opinions. Why melancholila? Because I'm a melancholic person, and 'ila' is just a variation of my name.
