He then shared that the flower is “really common” which attracted him to it even more.
He beautifully explained that even though the flower was so common, he’d never really noticed it. “I can’t believe I didn’t know about this pretty creature,” he shared.
He added that his mindset is that of “loving what’s around [him]”, so even though the flower is such a common part of his life, “I still like it.”
