MISSION

Sometimes, being a ‘girl from the neighbourhood’ is not just an image, but a life plan with sights set higher than the roof of the nearest office. It's like being stuck in traffic: people honk their horns, cut each other off, look around, discuss who's with whom and what's going on - and she calmly steps on the gas. Because she knows the route and hasn't used a satnav in a long time.

No ‘sorry for getting in the way.’ She has a mission, so she carries it out. If anyone doesn't understand, they can just watch. Because explaining why you're moving up to those who haven't even budged from the spot is not part of the job.
