I first came to 🇦🇺 25 years ago. I got married (again), we had kids and finally, I decided it was time to become Australian. Today, I received confirmation that my citizenship application had been approved. I have to wait for the citizenship ceremony before I'm 'Strayan, but nah, yeah.

I don't know why it's taken 54yrs. Well that's a lie. It's taken me 54yrs to stop making excuses for myself, to stop accepting excuses for and from others, to stop normalising inequality for women.

My experience has been that "bros" will either fight you or ditch you before they ever look inward, alas it helps thin your social circle a bams and if anything maybe leaves them wondering why less people want anything to do with them

But I'm Glaswegian so I'm ready to fight even when I shouldn't 😂

@justinbaldoni.bsky.social in middle of watching a Ted Talk you did in 2018. Thanks for the inspiration, thanks for the vulnerability, and thanks for the motivation.

Today I begin my second work placement at Mind Australia. I'm as excited as I was the first time. My mental health journey continues onwards and upwards.

Legit, my favourite colour is red 🟥, but I'm seriously considering taking auditions for a new favourite colour. Any suggestions?

Being Scottish, I'm proud of how progresive Scotland has become in recent years, but I'm upset beyond words that mental health and AOD are not being treated at the same time. I know for a fact that lives have been lost because people with AOD cannot get mental health support until the AOD is treated
