Orange Candy

What’s your favorite candy?

There is a deep sense of nostalgia whenever I travel by bus or drive my own car past my old school. Seeing the street vendors with their candies and trinkets immediately transports me back to childhood.

​I remember when we had nothing but a few spare coins to fulfill our greatest wishes: usually those bright orange candies that tasted exactly like childhood. It is a strange realization that now, even with “dollars” in our pockets, we rarely dare to stop and indulge in the same way.

It’s a poignant reminder of how drastically our priorities shift as we grow older.
