"I'm miles from where you are.

I lay down on the cold ground

And I, I pray that something picks me up

 and sets me down in your warm arms,"

-Snow Patrol

This song doesn't really relate to me so much anymore, like it once did. It is still a beautiful song. And beauty is something that should be appreciated. Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Meaning everything, and everyone has the potential to be something beautiful to someone. At least that is the way I look at it.

On a positive note, I have officially been accepted to college. I got the letter that reads: Dear Mariah, We are delighted (they said delighted, that means it's a yes. not that the huge envelope that says 'YES!' on the back doesn't give it away...) to inform you that you have been accepted into the University of South Carolina.

-Reading that note to my mom and sister was so surreal. I felt like this only happened in movies. I felt like I was in a movie. There was a camera man behind me in the kitchen, a microphone hanging over my head, the lights beating down on my smiling face. But no, no movie. No box office hit. No indie sundance film festival. Just me, growing up and crossing a huge milestone in my life. Now comes the hard part--saving up money, filling out and sending in paperwork, finding a roomate, finding a place to live! I just like to think everything will fall into place when the time comes. God has a plan for me.

There are so many things I want for my future. So many things I want to work out for me. So many people I want to stick around for me. So much fun I want to have. So many things I want to do. So many promises I want kept. So many promises I've made that I want to keep.
