Totem

"Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit it openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection out of fear. Fear that their feelings will not be acknowledged, or even worse, returned. But one thing about human beings intrigues me even more, and that is their conscious effort to stay connected to the object of their affection, even if it slowly kills them inside." (Sigmund Freud)
