On Life-Saving Life Savers


And Sugar-Coating Heartache.

When the going gets tough, a good distraction is always welcome, even if it's in the form of brightly-colored, translucent, rock-hard, sucking candies. The rainbow reminds us that life exists on the other side, in spite of the shattered walls around us that mimic the cavity-inducing, guilt-invoking crunch between our teeth. And like the melting mnm/sourpatch/gobstopper, the pain, too, will dissipate over time until the next trip to the candy store where the options seem limitless and the choice gets harder to make. Enjoy!
