She wrote: “Why I have been quiet on her is because a lot has been happening. I have had to pack up my whole life and move back home and give up on my dream life after 8 years.
“The last weeks I have been trying to smile through the tears, but I am still trying to comprehend how everything has changed.
“It feels like a breakup I never wanted to happen ❤️🩹 I think everybody on here could see how much I loved this country and how I tried to romantisize everything it had to offer , but there is just one thing I hate about it and that’s how hard they make it for some people to stay that don’t do anything wrong, work their ass.es off and contribute to society. @Australia why?”
