So what do you do? You can’t yell at it. You can’t just throw it against a wall. Somebody’s going to get hurt if you do that. So what you do is, you gently turn toward it, you find out its name. Its name in this case might be Loneliness. It might be Insecurity. It might be Distrust. And then you ask: What does it need in order to move out of your bed and free itself?
