My grandma's other name is Rose. Growing up at home we had a garden full of roses. My mom would always walk out & just smell them. I do that almost everywhere now. In shops even😊. I called this Rose today and with her ever high pitched voice (when on the phone) she left me mildly introspective, happy & thankful. The moments of savouring having her remarkable love & laughter were as a metaphor for "smelling the roses". To just stop and thank God for the infinite blessing of life & love. I bought her a little airtime & I wish you'd have heard her joy. It's so funny 😂😭. I don't know why but my heart is filled with humbling grattitude for the simplicity of this kind of love. We've been raised man. We have been loved #blacklove. We have been cherished & affirmed. And while not everything is/was sunshine & roses all the time. Having the rich foundation of loved ones is a good start to have you & me notice the ordinary pleasures that everyday brings. To smell a rose or two. ❣️

New video up| #linkinbio 80% of you who answered my Instagram poll said you've thought of quitting social media. What are some of your reasons? Is social media, Facebook, Instagram etc manipulating our emotions. Here we question the copious amounts of time we spend here? Is it worth it? How does the continued emotional validation, thumb's up, hearts, likes, manipulate our emotions. And the incessant distraction, the mental effects? Oh & the unconscious comparision constantly in tune with everyone's life. Are we becoming more self indulgent? Is social media eroding societal norms, or is this the new normal? @youtube_digitalz We love hearing from you! Don't forget to share, comment & subscribe to our channel. #JointheChats #FriendsChatZA #youtubeza https://youtu.be/TpaMWr-eZck.
