Candy Crush Saga Secret Obsession
I don’t play online games. I never had the time. I didn’t join the Angry Birds bandwagon and I never downloaded Farmville, but for some strange reason I tried Candy Crush. I blame my sister-in-law for my first introduction to the game. I downloaded it and promised that I would not link it to my social networks, but once I got to the first crossing, I rapidly linked the game to my Facebook account and requested my friends’ assistance. I think I lost a few Facebook friends that day.
I can proudly say that I never spent any money in Candy Crush Saga and I never, ever will (no, really). However I have spent countless hours crushing candies to reach the next level. It is a part of my morning and evening routines. I convinced Him to download it and let me play. I rarely play on my phone now, but always steal His phone in the morning to try and reach the next level. If He plays during the day and reaches a trunk of prizes, he will save it for me in the evening so that i can play with unlimited lives.
It is truly a mindless activity, and I found that it is a time to turn my thoughts off. Even when I do yoga or try to meditate I find that it is difficult to quiet my thoughts. I try to focus on my breathing, but inevitably I start thinking about what happened at work that day, or what I still need to get done. When I play Candy Crush Saga I can think about nothing but the colors and combining candies.
He says: I’ll open the app and play in waiting rooms and similar situations, but by and large, I’m usually just handing over my own phone to Her to play. She’s got tenacity to keep with it at level 1616, but it keeps Her from yelling at me for a little while, so who am I to judge?
We have already reached the maximum levels several times. The week after we reach the max, there is a new update with more levels. It will never end. I am sure if I used the time that I used to play this for exercise, I would probably be in much better shape. For now, I’ll keep playing and appreciate the time as my own peace and quiet.
