S/o to them for agreeing to be filmed on the first meeting. I know a bunch of people that would be put off by that because they'd interpret it as you trying to make them content and nothing more. Your intentions must've been pure ❤
The gap we create between us and the people we admire! Omg it's almost like how we view celebrities! Love every minute spent here.I am a reflection of what I see in other people, even the ones I look up to

Absolutely thissss!!! We are constantly mirroring each other and if that's the case then it means you can choose to see the good in yourself by seeing it in other people first.
Awesome Episode! As a guy who does everything from home have learned to be mindful of being alone, and not feeling lonely while at it. It’s never easy to find stillness in such moments, but the moment I would rest on the finished works of Christ and His promises, being alone would become a blessing in disguise. And thank you for this episode… I wish most men had personal dairies like this Podcast to dwell more on such meaningful content at least once a week. It helps a lot to know that you’re not alone out there. You’re awesome, and we’re loving every thing about the content of this episode! Hopefully to get in touch and mentor us on some few things there and there. Forever Stay Amazing, Kamohelo Hlasa

Ahh yes! The stillness! I also struggle to hold myself in stillness at times. I read a snippet from a book a few days ago that said something along the lines of "in silence, we find God." Been trying to carve out more space for silence in my own life. I also desire these spaces for men. I trust that they exist already and more are being created (nudge nudge). Thank you for the love!! Received!!
Always a sweet pleasure watching and connecting with you. Your journey validates my journey,as crazy as that sounds but your journey pours into my journey. You unknowingly make me authenticate my life and I think that's powerful. We're the same age but this space you've created certifies my story.

My heart is so warmed by this. I can't tell you how much it means to me to receive this. This is the whole intention behind this channel 🤍🤍
your videos genuinely put the biggest smile on my face, thank you for sharing your light.
Hi beautiful human 🧚🏿♀️❤️ The love and care you expressed and showed in the vlog was deeply felt, thank you ❤. This vlog made me reflect on my friendships, especially about how I love them so deeply, and that I am in dying need of a sleep over please 😂😂 this made me realize that. "Your people are out there" This line really resonated with me and I cannot wait to receive and care for them. Ouu and what you said about the space we create between us and the people we admire gurl! Spot on, watch me play on the belief of love ❤ You are amazing beautiful human, we appreciate the wisdom you share with us always.
I can relate to shifting the stories we tell ourselves about loneliness, making time for friendships, especially as people who can be introverted at times, and learning not to feel shame from feeling disappointed with friendships. I’m glad you embraced a different perspective, committed and met some new people. 💞
watching this at what feels like the weekly peak of my isolation and loneliness, Friday night and reaching out has made me feel worse. sorry needed to share with someone and it feels like I have no-one. Thank you. I always wonder how to balance feeling like too much and interactions reiterating that.

hhh sending you so much love through the loneliness and isolation. I know it isn't easy to be with 🤍 The 'feeling too much' piece is something so many of us struggle with. When I feel that way sometimes, it helps to give myself a self-hug and root into the fact that I can never be too much, maybe the environments I'm in are too small.
