A belief that has long persisted in society is that which upholds the idea that one ought to have achieved certain things in their life's journey by a said age.

Understandably, this way of thinking is not popular with everyone as some simply choose not to conform to modern-day societal demands and standards. Instead, they opt to run their race, free of any pressures.

The tweep shared an image of an empty apartment showing the open-plan lounge and kitchen area. Excitedly, the new tenant dangles the key to the property in one hand, showing a set of keys and a gate remote.

However, since social media is a free-for-all hub of information, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression, where anything goes, and the content shared based on individual interests and opinions, tweeps were left to their own devices on how to receive the message.

The tweet, which attracted more than 19 000 likes, received rave reviews from eager locals who had a stream of mixed reactions. It was retweeted over 800 times and saw more than 150 comments light up the comments section.

Elsewhere, Briefly News recently reported that the new homeowners and occupiers of property are coming in droves in Mzansi, many of whom are fulfilling longstanding New Year's resolutions.

Following the now-standard way of flexing the new abode, the tweep held up a key in one hand before snapping away to capture the confirmatory image. Aside from her well-manicured hands, the picture reveals a portion of the meticulous-looking and sparsely furnished abode.

"I did it. When God shows up, He shows off!" read the lovely caption.
