I have a program almost done, The only issue is that after the mouse is pressed, the text only flashes for a second or less.  I would like to either have the text stay permanently or for at least 3 seconds.

 

I don't have much time left, and any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for your time

My data:

 

//I am bringing into the program my image of an orange figure, I am also
//listing the greetings, responses, and amounts.

//int randomNum=0;
PImage Orangeguy;
String greeting [] = {"Hi"," hey"," Hows it going"," Hello"," whatsup", "good morning"};
int greetingamount [] = {13, 16, 16, 7, 2, 1};
String ending [] = {"See You Later", "Thanks", "have a good night", "Bye", "Peace Out", "Adios"};
int endingamount [] = {12, 4, 8, 7, 3, 1};
int x [] = {1, 2};

//This math was used to determine how large to make the ellipses, the largest ellipse is one hundred.
///Math(greetings): 13/16=.8125 so hi is 81.25% of hey, 7/16 = .4375, 2/16=.125
//Math(Ending): 12=100, 8=66, 7=58, 4=33, 3=25, 1=8

//here I am setting up the basic settings for the document
