Nearly everyone loves me. This may sound conceited, but it\u2019s a fact. People become addicted to me\u2014literally. When they see me, they just can\u2019t get enough. I\u2019m very popular. My secret is my versatility. I change my appearance all the time. Therefore, I\u2019m always attracting new friends and convincing old ones to come back for more. I even come up with new versions of myself every now and then. I tend to get around and am often the life of a party. I know how to make people smile.<\/p>\n
Although people love me, I have to be honest with you, I\u2019m not good for you. I really have no good qualities. As I mentioned earlier, many people just can\u2019t get enough of me. However, a big dose of me can actually be quite toxic. Those who hang around me a lot find me overbearing and feel that I take away their control. I lure people in, but then leave them with little energy after first taking me in. Some people blame me for their inability to stay focused on the important things because I get in the way. Often, I overhear people say that I can never satisfy them. They claim I\u2019m too artificial, and that I lack natural qualities. I\u2019ve also heard people say that I give them a stomach ache, cause a headache, or make their teeth hurt just thinking about me. Some people even have the nerve to claim I make them feel fat. But I can\u2019t help it if they feel insecure around me. It\u2019s their choice to hang around me. I don\u2019t make anybody seek me out. They just do.<\/p>\n
I can be quite complicated. Some people find me too hard or bitter. At the same time, others think I\u2019m too sweet. But what can I say, nobody can satisfy everyone at all times. But no matter how many people find me incorrigible, they continue to come back. Therefore, I never worry about getting attention. Someone always finds me appealing.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m especially fond of holidays because I get to dress up in various new fashions. People want me around even more during the holidays, giving me a chance to hook up with old friends and new ones, too. Halloween is a favorite of mine because it means the start of the holiday season, since other holidays follow shortly after. I start to prepare for them weeks in advance. I\u2019m sure I will see you soon at these special events. Just look around you, I\u2019m everywhere.<\/p>\n
My name is candy and you think you want me, but you really do not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
