I know this is tricky without much context, but this is the sentence:
A lambire, senza mai raggiungerlo, l’approdo impossibile che per ogni viaggiatore coincide con la pura, gioiosa, deriva della propria identità.
I am unsure about the translation of 'pura' and 'gioisoa' (intact/pure/genuine/natural? and joyful), and also whether 'deriva' means derived/arisen.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions

Hi Lizzy,
I think a literal translation is all you need, but I'd use *joyous* rather than *joyful*
