Thursday, the 12th of September, 2024. R U OK Day. Another year has rolled around. I’m starting to wonder if every year, every R U OK Day, I am a little more cynical than the last. In saying that, though, this is probably since I lost my friend to suicide late 2022. I didn’t get … Read More
“Are you okay?” The words are being thrown around left, right, and centre today. The school children are wearing yellow. Businesses send out emails to their employees.

Australia Day, the 26th of January, is a controversial date but the reason behind the celebration isn’t what a lot of people think. There is so much to unpack here, so I hope you will take the time to read this.

Some of us are dealing okay, but some of us aren’t. I guess that’s the same everywhere, right? Some of us heal faster. Some of us heal slowly and gradually. Some of us begin to heal and then it catches up with us again and we come crashing down. Some of us don’t even know how it happens; one day they’re fine and the next they’re not.

Whether you call it R U OK Day, or Suicide Prevention Day, this is it. The 12th of September. This is the day where we want to message or call every single one of our friends and family and ask them, are you okay? How are you doing? How is life, and are you really … Read More
Often people are living life working towards big goals, some are completing bucket lists, others are living in the moment, some people are working towards saving to have a good retirement, and there are some who are great at procrastination, too.
