"Tell me what you saw in me, and I will try to replicate it with a scene."

Just creeping again, sorry.

Yes, I used to be in musical theatre.
Yes, that was an odd time in my life. Yes, I still enjoy wearing Broadway show t-shirts.
Cats, West Side Story, Les Mis', etc. Take your pick.


When I was younger,
(ready for a lil' anecdote)

I used to honestly think that I could be a Broadway Star.
I was never a very outgoing person, but when I was stage, I wanted everyone to take notice of me. I wanted to be heard. I went years on end of performing in 3-5 shows a season, and I was convinced that it was what I wanted to do forever. Before I knew it, the "cool teen" stage clicked in my head and I decided to stop shows cold turkey. I went about two years of not performing in anything. Not too long ago, I decided to give it a go again. I can honestly say that I did not feel a sliver of the enjoyment I used to gain when I walked on stage. When I stepped in front of the audience, it really made me realize how much I have changed in two short years. I didn't want the attention focused on me at all.
(blah blah blah, off on a tangent again, blah blah blah)

Well, what I am attempting to get across here is that wearing t-shirts like that bring back the excitement I used to gain from musicals, something that I don't experience on a daily basis anymore.

An outfit can really bring back some weird memories and feelings.

"Fall is here, feel the air, back to school, ring the bell, brand new shoes, black and blue, and I can tell that we are going to be friends."
