She said She wanted Space
This second to last week, we are going to explore how secure individuals can support an avoidant.
The first key here is that the secure individual is in a stable place hence secure with/without the other individual. Coupling that with the ability to anticipate when their partner needs space, they can sustain balance in a relationship
The importance of space is rarely explained scientifically but in simple terms, it allows for the opportunity to create a desire for something. Too often, we lose interest once we obtain something. Hence the need to pace in order to keep building the bond. Like yeast, the attraction/rise is created at rest. The times we are not directly activating it.
This is key in the relationship between a secure and an avoidant because there is enough balance not to overbear the avoidant.
With this second to last week's post, we are going to share a quick look at the opportunity to zone for Skylark. To date, I have mentioned the platform leveraging Web 3 and AI then pivoted to a GTM strategy of businesses along urban trails however the key element that was starting to get lost was the gamification.
Skylark, by definition, means playing/fooling around. The core of businesses giving tasks for rewards in a gamified loyalty model would increase engagement around the brand and its customers.
Focusing solely on the gamification this week, here are some things I plan to drill into as this takes shape.
Reward users for sharing better data missing from businesses
Ability to uprank places
Story mode
Open-world mode - Animal Crossing-like
Scavenger hunts
Earn loyalty points
Trade/sell artifacts for in-game currency
Purchase assets at the town marketplace
Complete tasks from Townhall, Businesses, and other places
Share messages with each other
Complete enough tasks to unlock the ability to get a loan to start a business and/or get a cellphone
Complete enough tasks to unlock the ability to get a passport to unlock new locations
This week’s Aesthetics is from an account I have been following for the last 2 years. Andrew Mytro, on IG, has been designing GP posts for Mercedes.
Check out this one from the US GP last week
Keeping it simple this week, we are heading to the Open Seas.

“Understanding Space” - Monroe
“Building a secure and supportive relationship is crucial for the well-being of both partners, especially when one of them tends to be avoidant. Here are ten ways in which secure individuals can help an avoidant partner feel safe in a relationship:
Open Communication:
Encourage open and honest communication. Make it clear that you value their thoughts and feelings.
Foster an environment where they feel safe expressing themselves without fear of judgment or rejection.
Consistent Support:
Be consistently supportive and understanding. Avoidants often fear dependency, so offering consistent support helps build trust over time.
Respect Boundaries:
Understand and respect their need for space. Allow them to set boundaries and don't push them too quickly into situations that make them uncomfortable.
Provide Reassurance:
Offer reassurance about your commitment to the relationship. Avoidants may have fears of abandonment, so knowing they are valued and wanted is essential.
Be Patient:
Avoidants may take time to open up. Be patient and don't pressure them to share more than they are comfortable with at any given moment.
Demonstrate Reliability:
Be reliable and consistent in your actions. This helps avoidants feel secure in the relationship, knowing they can depend on you.
Create a Safe Space:
Foster an emotionally safe environment. This involves creating a space where they feel secure to be themselves without fear of criticism or rejection.
Encourage Independence:
It's important to note that building a secure relationship takes time and effort from both partners. The key is to create an environment of trust, understanding, and support, allowing the avoidant partner to gradually feel more secure and comfortable in the relationship. Additionally, seeking professional guidance, such as couples therapy, can be beneficial in addressing attachment-related challenges.”
Winding down these last couple of posts, this week we are vibing out to a new track featuring the main man Curren$y and Cozz off the DJ. Fresh mixtape.
This beat slaps so enjoy and zone out. Hopefully, I can get around to the compilation of vibes by next week. Either way, I will share it once it is completed.
Until next time, keep on seeking balance!

Support their need for independence. Avoidants often value autonomy, so encourage them to pursue their interests and maintain a sense of self.
Express Empathy:
Be empathetic and understanding. Acknowledge their feelings and show that you care about their emotional well-being.
Work Together on Attachment Styles:
Consider working together to understand and navigate attachment styles. This could involve couples therapy or self-help resources that address attachment issues.
