think happy thoughts

do you ever miss you childhood? i miss the times where everything was so simple & college seemed like it was lightyears away. i think back to the days when i'd come home from school and watch spongebob with my dad in the family room before mom got home. one of my favorite memories, which was caught on film (thank God), was our trip to Disneyland. i don't remember how old i was, but my parents and i went to the happiest place on earth with our family friends. it was a total blast. on our way back to our hotel, i turn to my mom and say, "come on mom, let's dance." i proceed to shake my booty and skip along to the beat of the music. i was so into it i couldn't walk and dance anymore...i had to stop and dance until my mom made me keep walking. we watched this video a while ago, and my boyfriend never fails to remind me to dance with him whenever we're in public now. yay me. ;)

tonight my parents and i watched toy story 3 together. it was fun watching my parents get so invested in a kid's movie that i've watched numerous times. i'm obsessed with pixar movies. i grew up watching and re-watching toy story, monsters inc., a bug's life, finding nemo, the incredibles, up... those movies are so extremely heartwarming. toy story 3 was surprisingly just as satisfying to watch as the first two. it makes me excited for the fourth one to come out. one of my all-time favorite websites ever is the website explaining the pixar theory. basically, it talks about how each movie is connected, and all of the movies exist in the same timeline/ universe. it literally blew my mind.

anyways, on to the point of this post, watching this movie tonight made me so genuinely happy. to keep up this great mood, i thought i'd share my playlist called "think happy thoughts". i have a very diverse music taste, so the genres vary. i hope that this music makes you as happy as i feel at the moment! :)
