People have always called me stubborn, especially when I was younger. And I always thought it is and was the same as persistence, as being persistent. But somehow I’m starting to see the two are different, although slightly I guess.

As what I am starting to experience is that stubbornness is just pushing through what you want, regardless of other people’s feelings and stuff. And persistence is more like continuing going against all odds without offending other people, with letting other people be who they are or want to be.

So my big crazy project is helping me to be persistent, be myself, how crazy I may be. And I guess is learning me to be less stubborn, less insisting on my ways.

And the strange thing is that no matter how crazy my original idea was for Cagayan de Oro City, it could really become true. And the strange thing is I don’t even remember how that whole idea came together, like what was first.

Crazy, isn’t it?
