to the lows and every high

hsm 3 & camp rock: the newest addition to my cd collection

my mom laughed and commented on how i'm regressing, and honestly? i don't think she's wrong.

lately, i've been so nostalgic for the music, movies, books, things i used to love when i was a kid. it's not that i'm unhappy now - in fact, i think i'm a lot happier than i was a year or two ago at this same time - but i feel like i'm not as carefree anymore. which, duh. i'm working now. 2000s athena had a good childhood and thus didn't have to worry about working, paying taxes, and trying to build a life in a world she doesn't know will last.

i found myself tearing up while listening to the songs and while watching the video clips. i don't know why i'm so emo over this but it just !! brings back memories of simpler times, and younger athena loved camp rock and high school musical SO MUCH....she memorized all the lyrics and daydreamt of performing these songs...
