"Your first love isn’t the first person you give your heart to — it’s the first one who breaks it." 1

This said, let’s start by the one in the mirror. Be it the I — the I that is me.  

It is however an Other me because I already changed myself in the mirror…

Again, not the whole of me, it is the hole of me, perfectly delimited by the figure in the mirror.

JA Miller’s Dream article — for the May 2020, Xll Congress of the WAP, in Buenos Aires, cancelled after the coronavirus pandemic world drama — resets the hole in place of the lack. Be it the lack-in-being we bring forth in analysis.

Other to myself, in the mirror, from the mirror, it is myself I desire. But let me turn to the One, Father of the hordes, jouisseur… How else would he be the first one to break my heart?

With Jacques Lacan in Seminar X,"...only love allows jouissance to condescend to desire."...
