I used to love rooibos when I was a little girl. I think it was the fact that tea was reserved for adults and on the ocassions we would be offered it felt like such a treat. We felt honoured that we were drinking tea.
I loved mine especially with a lot of milk, it had that milky smell and taste and I thought it was just lovely. I could never turn down tea.
Now, I am not such a big fan. Don't like too much sugar in my tea and don't want it to have any milk.
Come to think of it, I think I loved tea because my cousins loved it. Not really because I loved it for myself. The group loved it.
A lot of things are like that in life, you go through a stage of liking certain movies, songs, clothes, hair and even colours. Only to realise later in life that those likes were dictated by society, be it magazines, church, family or friends.
Unfortunately as well, some people never realise that the things they think they like, they things they identify with are not really their own choices, they have been chosen for them by someone else.
If people trully chose their own paths, trust me, we would be seeing a whole lot more variety in the world than we are seeing currently.
