Have you ever dated someone and realized months later that you weren’t actually in love with them, you were in love with who you imagined they were? That gap between the person in your head and the person standing in front of you is what psychologist Carl Jung spent...

Listen to Coldplay’s “Fix You” (or the version I prefer below the post) when you’re broken, and you hear a promise: someone will save me. Listen to it after years of growth, therapy, and learning to sit with your own complexity, and you hear something else...
