If you’re confused, read the 4 posts before this one first. Adnan is definitely a Carrie Underwood fan. Did I just go third person on you? I told myself I wouldn’t do that…but I like it. Oh well. Anyway, “That’s Where It Is” is one of my favorite songs ever not just because it’s so beautiful and lyrically sound, but also because it got me through a really hard time in my life. I’ll go into one of the aspects of that time now. By the way, what you may consider “personal” is not personal for me. The things I don’t share on this blog are what’s really personal (only a few things there).

December 2005. I had set my heart on going to NYU for college, but I didn’t get in. You know what’s funny? The complete change in how I felt then and how I feel now. Back then it felt like my entire life was over. But today? Today I feel like not getting into NYU was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. Ever. Ever. Basically the last 6 months of 2005 were probably the worst and scariest of my life and not getting into NYU was like the cherry on top of a disastrous sundae. I’m thankful to God and my family for helping me come a very long way since 2005. I was 17 then, I’m 20 now. What a difference a few years can make. I love blessings in disguise. Love them. I’m definitely crying a little right now (happy tears).

Thanks Carrie Underwood for such an amazing song. Definitely a favorite. Oh and not all of my favorites are this special…but do you see the power of music and why I love it so much?

P.S. My cheeks are just rosy and I’m definitely not wearing makeup. I bring this up because it’s been asked before. Too many times before. Sigh and lol
