The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

It's time to announce the winners of the BAE posting contest being run in THE WEEKEND community by myself, @galenkp and @edenmichelle. Thank you to those who entered, the posts were all very good and it was difficult to judge and find winners. _{original im src}

The contest was run to celebrate the latest single released by South African artist EGGSTA who is hive's own @edenmichelle. Her song is called BAE and you can find it here on YouTube and Spotify. It's a smooth, funky and uplifting song featuring fellow South African, Lee Cole - Give it a listen if you can.
