Just as Heraclitus said, "The only constant in life is change."
How ironic that the word constant, meaning unchanging, is used to define the very thing most of us fear. That’s because this never-ending process can bring both good and bad.
Following this idea, I am now officially changing my previous pen name, Jan Mangahas, to Sagarius. This new name marks the beginning of a new era — one of humble beginnings and transformation.
One may ask, "Why?"
Because I am no longer him... I am something better.
No, I’m not forgetting that name. Jan Mangahas will always be remembered as a writer who brought magical and fictional storytelling that challenged traditional concepts of love and partnership.
He was an advocate — a voice for those who found love beyond the norms.
He was also the voice of the oppressed, defying the disgusting and unfair systems that tried to silence them.
He was a rebel.
And Sagarius will be his legacy.
With all the obstacles Jan Mangahas overcame and the experiences he gained along the way, Sagarius will be unbreakable.
So yes — Sagarius will carry on what Jan Mangahas started.
And to honor his memory, the stories that bear his name will remain untouched, exactly as they are.
Curious about why I chose the name Sagarius? Hold on to that curiosity a little longer, okay?
