Is it self-centered to say Athre from my own series? In particular, there's a city there I created that's inspired by Dominica. Great food, good vibes, with a solarpunk streak!

How not to repress yourself and your feelings, and damage your soul.

The answer will not be a literary one, sorry fellow bookworms. I'm going to say Rose Quartz and Greg Universe from the TV show Steven Universe. Never have I seen or read such an incredibly-written, mature, and deep relationship. Both characters grow as people (in Rose's case, as a sentient alien space rock) and together with each other. That's how I think love should be.

From whatever TV show or video game I just happen to be watching at the time of completion. If I name the show that inspired my current book Hope in Nautical Dusk, it would spoil the book, haha!

Don't force yourself to write if you don't want to. In other words, don't follow that advice "Just write something everyday." That's not creativity works; you should write whenever you feel creative and inspired.
