oh wow.

How sentimental.

I was talking to a friend about candy, and things that I would get, but never use. Then I remembered, that back home, somewhere in a box, I have a faded orange Everlasting Gobstopper. Yup. Just one. LOL. I’ve kept it since I was a freshman or sophomore in high school?

Well, it was after church, and my best friend from earlier on in my life had brought the Everlasting Gobstoppers to church. Then he offered me one, and out of all colors, I got orange, which turns out to be my favorite color. HAHA. I really don’t know why I kept it, and never ate it. I think it was because it fell on the floor, but I put it in my pocket. Maybe it was because at that time, he was on the complete other side of the world from me. My first guy best friend, so far away, living life on a different continent. I think it was the only connection I had left of him. That piece of candy meant a lot. All I know is that, that was the last time or second to last time I ever saw him.

Yeah, we kept it strong for up to a year after he moved. We wrote letters and all that stuff! Eventually, I just lost touch. Distance is tough.

Nowadays, we don’t even talk, but hey, I’m thankful that at one point he was in my life. He changed it dramatically, and left me when I was ready to implement the lessons he taught me.

Oh wow. Now I miss him.

Stupid piece of candy.
