“Personally, I’m not a big fan of destiny,” she said.
She pushed a shopping cart down the street as though shopping for neighbors.
“I think people treat destiny as a scapegoat. ‘I can’t help being poor. It’s my destiny’ or ‘you have to help me fight this, it’s my destiny.’ It’s all rubbish.”
She turned the cart in at the grocery story and sent it in amongst the others.
“It’s not about destiny. It’s about destination.”
