"When we express our needs indirectly through the use of evaluations, interpretations, and images, others are likely to hear criticism.

My blood is black on the snow, and the edges of the world are silvered with moonlight. I run into the darkness, and he is waiting. I dream in black and white, and I dream of him. I dream of Caleb, who does not exist, and I am afraid.”
