I am proud to announce that I was accepted into the HERE program at ORNL.

I’ll be in Oak Ridge, Tennessee for 10 weeks. I don’t think it’s hit me that I’ve been accepted. *shrugs*

 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Right before the One Saturday Morning jingle can stand me up. 

The door in front of me is not the only one. I glance behind me. There is a hallway leading to darkness. There is no question where I go. I’m drawn to what I don’t know. I take a step towards darkness. Why? Why would I do that?! Unless, I’m dreaming. Which means this is all in my head. In a world of turmoil, the only thing I have are my own thoughts. MY FRONTIER. The truth is, I seek comfort in a realm of confusion. My thoughts rush. How much can the human mind take? If I’m not over the edge, I’m on it. Escaping would be my only victory. But where do you go when your refuge is where your problems lie.
