Candy Theory (Thought-of-the-week)

If you're reading this it means that my catchy phrase worked and I caught your attention (Yay for me!) This week's thought came from a really interesting conversation I had with the very talented brain-picking Daniela Scholz (she actually asked to be mentioned in this post even though I said that one's sources must always remain confidential, but she's a pushy one that girl...I love you Dani!).
You guys may not know this but we have some very deep and interesting conversations (funny as hell too). We were talking about our very strange and failed love lives-don't judge I know you all have horror stories to tell even if right now you're living your fairy tale- and we came up with a very interesting metaphor to describe our current situations (However, I will not reveal who belongs to which situation) and I have named it-very cleverly I must add- the Candy Theory.

She doesn't know about cavities...yet!

So, the Candy Theory basically consists of the idea that people's love lives can be seen as a kid with a big bag of candy. How does that make any sense you ask? Well it's very simple, some kids are luckier than others and some just do dumb things. Point is they all react differently when given a big bag full of candy, however they all wish for one thing: to eat it.

In some cases our love lives may look like a kid that at some point was given a big bag of candy and decided it was a great idea to eat it all at once. The result? A very bad stomachache sets in immediately after, a couple of days later this stupid kid finds himself craving for a candy bar but not having any and in the long run the same kid finds out he's got cavities! Of course filling those cavities is going to take time, money and pain! Stupid kid...

This is a better use for those candy bags...

Kid number two is just a case of bad luck, poor thing really deserves that piece of candy. You know, you've worked hard to get everything in your life to work out the way it's supposed to and then you stop and think why is it that love life just doesn't seem to work out? And then it hits you: Your stupid bag has a big hole at the bottom. How could you not see that? All this time you were throwing your candy in the bag and all the while those candies were falling out through the hole... Stupid bag... Well good thing you found out so you can start patching up that bag! You've worked hard at everything else and this will be no exception! What's great about it? You'll learn to really take care of those candies once you get that bag fixed up...


Now not everything is just victims in this story, there's always that greedy kid you see at every party collecting candy and doing everything in his power to get his way. This kind is dangerous because he will stop at nothing to get what he wants even if it means pushing and hurting all the other kids. Greedy candy-lovers are the worst! Their bags are always full and they always high on sugar. They won't hesitate to take candy from your hands or even cutting a hole at the bottom of your bag... The good news? Those kids grow up to be diabetic and obese... So rest assured, we will all get what we deserve eventually.

This girl had a bra made of candy and not even that worked out? Damn, we're all screwed...

 So my final thought is, no matter what kind of candy eaters we are, it is never too late to decide to change your situation. I encourage you to think long and hard about this crazy idea of ours and consider what you'll do next time...
