So I’m sitting in the Mall St. Matthews wondering if I will ever leave. For those that may not know, I work for Verizon Wireless (for now) as a sales rep. Pays the bills. Mall culture is really weird. Sitting in malls for long periods of time has really caused me to see the shallow nature of consumer culture. It has also increased my burden for teens trying to live in this messed-up culture that tells them that any value or worth they may have as a human being is tied directly to their physical appearance and sex appeal. It’s really frustrating to see them succumbing to that.
