Thoreau was not nearly as independent as he liked to purport in WALDEN. He went into town all the time to get pies from his mama - who also did his damn laundry for him! Emerson was definitely sick of him scribbling away on his land gratis at the end of the experiment and wanted him out of that shed, lol
Fascinating to read about that cycle of attachment and recognize how much of it is both expected and lionized in romantic stories in film. Now I need to read up on attachment styles! :)

Yes, I almost minored in romantic literature in college and remember Emerson was certainly pissed! Definitely read "Attached"!
