James Hillman is a transpersonal psychologist, if that helps at all. It is about the hero's journey.
It really appealed to me although I don't know if I can explain it.

Anais nin just seems to resonate with me a lot. She was certainly a free spirit and a character.

"today is the best day of my life"

"carpe diem"

"I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts
because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace.
“If I feel peaceful,” they say, “why would I bother taking action at all?”
My answer is “Because that's what love does.”
To think that we need sadness or outrage
to motivate us to do what's right is insane.
As if the clearer and happier you get, the less kind you become.
As if when someone finds freedom, she just sits around all day
with drool running down her chin.
My experience is the opposite.

Love is action." - Byron Katie
