      Listening to Miley Cyrus's old album physically makes my heart hurt. Am I the only one that childhood memories are so painful for? Not painful in the sense that it was awful, but in the sense that it was so great, and it can never be relived again. 

      Miley was so influential in my life when I was younger. Her songs were so beautiful. I'm not rehashing the whole Miley controversy, I'm just saying that her songs were 42% of my childhood and listening to an album I once knew every word of, is so difficult for me. Re-listening to them, and hearing the familiar tunes of my past, is almost some sort of... bittersweet torture, if you will. 

      It's crazy to think that I will NEVER be able to go back and hear these songs for the first time and get my first copy of the album and memorize the entire thing in one night. I can always do that with other albums, but never with my favorite one of Miley's. I'm sorry if this post is inadequate or unappealing, but this just hit me really hard. 

      I don't really know if any of you have favorite albums from when you're younger or if you've listened to them recently, but if you've never felt this God-awful feeling in your gut when you do, I highly suggest going to listen to them right now.... :)
