I'm gay, but I'm not changing that.
And so my mate, one of my mates who I will love for the rest of my life, her name was Nikki Graves.
She was the lady that was also the manager of the footy club I was playing for down at Darabin.
And she was like, Mo, come and live with me.
And she gave me my first ever bed like I'd never had a bed before.
Yeah, it was crazy.
And all the slats in place.
And your own room.
I was like, what even is this?
So much room for activities.
Where am I?
And she gave me my wardrobe, like a wardrobe that was built-in wardrobe.
I was like, it's my wardrobe.
I've never had a wardrobe.
She brought me clothes and then she paid for me to go get my tickets to work as a traffic controller and help me get a job.
And I remember she would buy me pizza every Friday, and it was the first time I had pizza.
And I just loved it.
I was just like, this is the most incredible thing.
Like, you know, you are helping me.
And I'd not received help before, so I just silently took it, which was nice.
