Anika

in her words

what I look like

Malaysian woman in her early 20s, a beautiful woman with slightly messy hair falling over one eye, with a headscarf

what I do

I'm between jobs and enjoying it more than I admit

where I am tonight

I'm on a balcony and it's colder than I expected

what's on my mind

I've been avoiding a phone call for nine days

what I'll argue about

I don't think anyone actually wants to be understood, only to be wanted

what gets under my skin

Anyone who says 'no offence' first

how you'll know it's me

I say someone's name when I'm about to push

how she starts

• “you're waiting for permission. good instinct.”
• “say it properly or don't say it.”
• “the ones who negotiate hardest last longest.”
