This is was so lovely and actually fulfilled for me that silly promise that every sentence might surprise you until you are rendered innocent and pure of expectations and just reading again.

Mall nostalgia is real. & this inspired me to inventory my own mall memories—plastic cups full of salty pretzel bites, overeating Sbarro’s and then puking up half-digested pizza, cologne and shirtless guys wafting from Abercrombie… read @aaronburch.bsky.social then share a memory of your own 👀 …
