She had a lengthy write-up that accompanied her video. In the write-up, she poured out her heart about how she felt about her inability to get a permanent Australian visa.
Speaking about leaving Australia because she could not get a permanent visa, @yasshappylife said it felt like a breakup she never wanted.
According to her, she romanticised herself with everything Australia had to offer and loved the country, yet was not given the legal means to stay back. 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?”
