My choice to enter UP Cebu wasn't driven by logic. It came to a point that I let my feelings decide. In a retrospect, the ever dramatic little kid in me's still alive even after I graduate. (Disclaimer though, this is a personal message, not anything! If you intend to read a classic UP graduate post, you clicked the wrong blog post. Though you might want to read this: My #Sablay2023 Entry.) My brother and I as little kids used to fight a lot. It can get brutally physical.

Uncomfortable identification and questioning through ambiguity has been proven effective by Toni Morrison. Her deliberate ambiguity regarding the characters' racial backgrounds serves as a potent commentary on the rush to classify people based on superficial traits.
