I didn't know their language, didn't know the language of their hearts, didn't even know my own.
I saw veils everywhere: what I wanted, what I didn't know I wanted, what I didn't want to know I wanted, what I’d always known I wanted.
This is either a miracle. Or it is hell.
André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

behind the pain
someone is rejoicing

behind the torture
there is love

who’s going to buy
this bu****it

if you don’t become the ocean
you’ll be seasick
every day.

Leonard Cohen, Good Advice For Someone Like Me

So there you have it: two things & I can't bring them together & they are wrenching me apart. These two feelings, this knowledge of a world so awful, this sense of a life so extraordinary — how am I to resolve them?

In fact, passion that goes beyond the natural measure of love ultimately aims at the mystery of becoming whole, and this is why one feels, when he has fallen passionately in love, that becoming one with the other person is the only worthwhile goal of one's life.
C.G. Jung, Man and His Symbols

Man becomes whole, integrated, calm, fertile, and happy when (and only when) the process of individuation is complete, when the conscious and the unconscious have learned to live at peace and to complement one another.
When a person tries to obey the unconscious, he will often, as we have seen, be unable to do just as he pleases. But equally he will often be unable to do what other people want him to do. It often happens, for instance, that he must separate from his group - from his family, his partner, or other personal connections - in order to find himself.

He pictures the evening... snugly at home, fixing the food he has bought, then lying down on the couch beside the bookcase and reading himself slowly sleepy... Jim lying opposite him at the other end of the couch, also reading; the two of them absorbed in their books yet so completely aware of each others’ presence.

The persona, the ideal picture of a man as he should be, is inwardly compensated by feminine weakness, and as the individual outwardly plays the strong man, so he becomes inwardly a woman, i.e., the anima.
But because the inner world is dark and invisible to the extraverted consciousness, and because a man is all the less capable of conceiving his weaknesses the more he is identified with the persona, the persona's counterpart, the anima, remains completely in the dark and is at once projected, so that our hero comes under the heel of his wife's slipper.

'May you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?'
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights

Illustration by Nicoletta Tomas

Following your own star means isolation, not knowing where to go, having to find out a completely new way for yourself instead of just going on the trodden path everybody else runs along. That's why there's always been a tendency in humans to project the uniqueness and the greatness of their own inner self onto outer personalities and become the devoted servants, admirers, and imitators of outer personalities.
It is much easier to admire a great personality and become a pupil or follower of a guru or a religious prophet, or an admirer of a big, official personality. That is much easier than following your own star.
Marie-Louise von Franz, The Way of the Dream

"I come from a place where, you know, it's strength if we get a bruise or cut or ailment we don't discuss it, we just deal with it. We just go on. The downside of that is it's the same with our emotion. I'm personally very re****ed when it comes to taking inventory of my emotions. I'm much better at covering up. I grew up with a Father-knows-best/war mentality—the father is all-powerful, super strong—instead of really knowing the man and his own self-doubt and struggles. "
