Help me turn writing into a career, not just something I do on the side. Your paid subscription helps me carve out real time for essays — the deeper, slower pieces that I can take my time to write whilst I sip my Oolong in the morning.

Paid subscribers get early (and full) access to new essays, occasional behind-the-scenes notes on what I’m working through & monthly live guest speaker interviews. I hope you enjoy this article.

Big love,

My article Loving an Avoidant has been my most popular article yet.

And so I thought I would follow up here with a sequel piece.

I have been sitting with the notion of being avoidant, cross referencing these words with my own experiences of dating one for the past two years.

And something that I can tell you, is that it is a radical oversimplification, and does not really do justice to the complexities of what the “avoidance” is really all about.
