"You'll get it when you become an adult"
This is probably one of the phrases that annoyed me the most when I was young. As a child or a teenager, you are in that constant state in which you think you own the knowledge of the wise people and that you have the power to change the entire world, but that other people keep dragging you back ( Read more... ) -
Anti-bullying measures and the part of my past I hate the most
I don't remember high-school fondly and I make no mystery off it. In fact, people who talk to me on a daily basis are well aware of how much I hated high-school. Perhaps back then I didn't even hate it so much, but after I graduated on college, I can't help but thinking that I can't remember many of my school days fondly. I'll not be so extreme ( Read more... ) -
You have to be honest! But wait, not THAT honest...
Sometimes it baffles me when people tell me "you can be completely honest with me", because I never know how much of it they are effectively ready to hear ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on Kamen Rider Decade
I have recently re-watched Kamen Rider Decade with tiuneo and after that, I realized why I could not remember a thing of what happened in the series: from all the Kamen Rider series I watched, this one was the least remarkable of them all. I think I can consider it my least favorite (after even Kamen Rider Gaim, which I really, really disliked). The fact ( Read more... ) -
About being offline (and "yiques your cellphone is shitty!")
I have recently bought a new cell phone. Not so much because I needed one, but because I was getting pretty fed up with the amount of people asking me for my Whatsapp account.
"Hey, Melanie, send me your Whatsapp!"
Oh, sorry, I don't have a Whatsapp account.
"What do you mean? Everybody has a Whatsapp account!"Uuuugh ( Read more... ) -
When your priorities change
One of these days I was hanging out with my friend (notice that most of my posts start this exact same way - and the funniest part is that I'm almost always referring to the same friends from high school) and she mentioned something I could relate to:
"In my mind, I'm still 17 years old."I don't even know what we were talking about. Probably ( Read more... ) -
What do you do in your line of work?
The office where I work is an interesting place for human interaction. In spite of having colleagues with a similar academic background and similar interests, their points of view are still that of people to whom the work roles are pretty clear.

The consistency of your tastes
I always thought it weird that when you state you like something, most people expect some consistency/coherence on the things you like. Take, for an instance, a music genre. If you say you like Metal, people immediately expect you to like any kind of metal/rock song. Some of them assume that you only dress in black, that you only like to watch ( Read more... ) -
The rule of the 5/25
During my vacations I was, for whatever reason, watching TedEx lectures of successful people giving career advice. I consider myself reasonably stable in several aspects of my life, but once in a while I like to watch some pick-me-up videos just for the heck of it. Besides, some of the lectures are actually pretty good and this one was particularly ( Read more... ) -
