Is it normal to be happy and sad and hurting and healing and mad and guilty and jealous and calm, all at the same time?

"'Nobody understands anyone.' Flaubert seemed to have said it!... But reality is still more full of terror. 'To not understand' means to have tried to understand and failed. 'Nobody wants to know anyone.' That's the terrible truth!... You live side by side with your fellow beings, whom you have no curiosity to know as much as you would for a creature from another planet or from another geological epoch... And these unknown people among themselves, indifferent, make up a city, a country."

— Cezar Petrescu, Darkness, 1927

The Baron in the Trees (Italian: Il barone rampante) is a 1957 novel by Italian writer Italo Calvino.

“Why d’you make me suffer?"

“Because I love you.”

Now it was his turn to get angry. “No, no, you don’t love me! People in love want happiness, not pain!”

“People in love want only love, even at the cost of pain.”

“Then you’re making people suffer on purpose.”

“Yes, to see if you love me.”

The Baron’s philosophy would not go any further. “Pain is a negative state of the soul.”

“Love is all.”

“Pain should always be fought against.”

“Love refuses nothing.”

“Some things I’ll never admit.”

“Oh yes, you do, now, for you love me and you suffer.”

Italo Calvino, The Baron in the Trees

Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.

— William Faulkner.
