We really enjoyed this piece. It felt sharp and thoughtful, yet honest in a way that stayed with us. We have been doing our own little nostalgia research project, and we recently showed up on Substack. Reading this and realizing that someone our age is thinking about the accelerating world, and about the strange moments of nostalgia that hit us so intensely, was genuinely interesting for us.
The Michael Chabon quote you mentioned resonated with us a lot. We are not as certain as Baldwin was lol, but we also want to leave something behind for this changing world, something that preserves what feels important to us.
These thoughts may be all over the place, but we really loved your article.
brother you are on a heater as of late with these lovely meditations on nostalgia and change. definitely shaping how i'm thinking through things myself. enjoy your time back home!
