THE CANDY LIFE... by Samuel Sewanu Olamidimeji


Its life, its sweet, its candy!!!!


One pleasant evening, I was in bed playing the usual candy crush saga, I suddenly stumbled upon an amazing inspiration and decided to put it down and share with you all. It’s quite simple, I just perused beyond the interface of the game and I found life.


Life is like candy crush, every move you make either up, down or sideways causes a blast. Our movements could be either positive or negative in life, but as the game shows us, each blast affects other candies (people’s life) around us in a good or bad way.

The game (candy crush) itself has several moves, you could get just 3 candies and it causes a blast, and surprisingly causes more blasts than you expected from that simple move (like when you answer a question well in class and your teacher decides to announce on the assembly ground the next day *BOSS feeling*). At times you get 4 candies together to form a super candy that may not even get to blast (money without fame) or be of use at all till you run out of moves.  And just maybe it is all you need to get it all (Money and fame isn’t everything, Happiness and Family means a lot).

HERE comes the big one, I like to call it SUGAR-SUGAR, 5 candies “whew”. Once you see it, you are waiting for the right moment to swipe it with another candy (after making all the money you now looking for a spouse **loolz** or better still, having a first class certificate and waiting for that your dream job to have an opening). Now you are waiting for that super 4 candy *smiles*(dream wife). You get irritated when brings it but doesn’t place it near the sugar-sugar (dream wife is already taken or knowing how to write lyrics but you can’t sing and can’t get a star artist to sell it to *SAD right*). Life leaves you with a simple candy beside your sugar-sugar (rich man in the midst of poor men) and you feel bad. Eventually you decided to use your sugar-sugar on one of the simple candies because you love to see the blast it creates, and alas, to your utmost surprise it clears all jellies (who you never taught would value your help did more that you ever imagined when you helped, give SHINA (upcoming artiste) the lyrics wey you write, oun na ma blow (himself go blow)*hehehe*) and even forms a lot of super candies or the sweetest sugar-sugar around sugar-sugar *dancing* then life ends well for everyone SUGARCRUSH *Smiles*.

Sometimes you are slow and life gives you moves and you ignore because you have eventually seen a better move (uncle helps you with a Job of 50k but you got one of 200k *claps*, you’ve done well… Remember to thank him, he was your only other option…. hehehe, don’t start thanking the game when playing candy crush o *wink* just saying).  But sometime you adhere to that move because it was your only option (when you are brilliant but not as much to get a scholarship and you desire education but your parents can’t afford it)…PLS NOTE: WHEN YOU MAKE THIS MOVES YOU GET MORE OPTIONS EVENTUALLY. At a time it simply says no more options and rearranges it all (life will always be arranged to favor a move).

At some levels you get timed (Examinations and Interviews) and you begin to think, act and watch just to achieve the set score, so you could pass that level (get the job or get promoted). Either timed, small moves, a lot of moves, you aim at getting SUGAR CRUSH. 1, 2, 3 stars doesn’t matter to some and matters to some, but then people don’t want to know how many stars you got at each level, they want to know what level you are now (1st class, 3rd class, yahoo they not interested, they want to know if he/she is living fine or not).

In this life; YOU are the candy, YOU are sweet, YOU are your life. You need to know when and how to move, who to move to and at the same time keep a blind faith in humanity and how much blast a simple move can create. All in all, one thing is certain “YOU MUST MOVE” or better still “THOU MUST MOVE” to get a blast.
Subtle advice; make the right move , keep your faith alive and right and when your sugar crushes, DON’T STOP MOVING YOU can always do MORE.
Still more to come on the candy life people.

STAY SWEET… STAY CANDY... STAY ALIVE
