Why Coela?

My name is based on coelacanths, a wonderful fish with a story I found inspiring! This creature was thought to have been extinct from fossil records for a very long time, yet one day it was simply fished up! Where did they go? What did they do? Why have they not evolved for so long? They have a unique body structure reminiscent of the old ages but I digress about the physical coolness of this fish.

The emotional weight behind why I changed my name fully to "Coela" is because much like the fish— I had a kind of comeback story myself. You will learn to notice that my mind is not that of an average person. I've been through lots that you don't need to know— point being suicidal tendencies have been in my life.

After an attempt and recovery I realized that I too should stop isolating myself in my chamber, my ventricle. I should accept that I did what I did and I shouldn't be ashamed to let people in and see my broken state. So long as I'm not making my ramshackle mind anyone else's problem, there's no reason to hide from the world.

Coelacanths were found in underwater caves, I do believe this is why "Coela" is the prefix to their name. It comes from Greek, meaning "hollow, cavity, or chamber". Considering my 5 years of self isolation I felt this name fit me well.

So please if you want to make fun of this choice do it with nuance, I already know how dumb the idea is.
