Hershey

Somewhere I will never really have to leave...I have been looking at images of cities across the United States and Hershey follows me everywhere I go. I never have to say goodbye, because a piece of home will always be down the road, in the local pharmacy, or in the hand of some lucky child. Hershey follows me as I try to leave it, and to be honest I don't see this as a bad thing. I have never really felt at home, so many over the years of living in cities, I will feel more at home, then I do sitting in the actual chocolate bubble. Hershey seems to be built on its prestigious Medical Center, and run down Chocolate Factory, it looks good from the outside, but on the inside its simply just a place where we all try to beat each other out, with the next best thing. I have never really lived my life like that, hence why I never really liked Hershey. I never felt like I fit in, I needed something more, something different, and something more unique. Hershey and it's cliques weren't enough, I fit into zero of them, and just wanted to keep moving to the next thing...there was no next thing in Hershey. I feel like if I move to a place where the people are different, where the pace of life is faster, and where the standards are broader, I'll fit in. I'll find myself a place where I love to live and grow in. Hershey will always be down the street, its not going far, but after hearing various versions of the Hershey Story, I'd like to make my own story, I need to do what Milton wanted for all his students and family: something to live for that you loved more than anything else in the world.

Well that's it for now...The Lily and The Fountain will slowly become a summer project :P
