She mastered my daily coffee order 
Throughout all our artful conversations, 
Soon swiftly handing me back a quarter, 
Sticking to union-sanctioned durations.

Gotta get back to business, 
Gotta get back to business.

Had a nice chat next to her gold guitar
After her Saturday night jam session, 
Thought we were getting somewhat kind of far 
When she said, “Well, thanks, see you next session.”

Gotta get back to business, 
Gotta get back to business.

Lined up at the bougie grocery store 
Just to behold her Kansas City face 
And find out the dreams resting at her core 
Until she was pulled to another place.

Gotta get back to business, 
Gotta get back to business.

So much for that friendship; 
Guess I’ll just leave a tip.

A free therapist

By Eetu Ekholm

When people confide in you, you see and hear all sorts of things. Some good some bad. You can try to help, but if the people themselves aren't willing to accept your help and change, you are just left with a person using you to cope. A free therapist with no boundaries. They suck the life out of you, with the cost of your kindness.

Peacefully

By Javani Vito

I wrote this text for all the children and loved ones. Sometimes it´s a challenge to deal with all the duties, especially when we experience loss or other disappointments. Everyone needs somebody to lean on, mostly our children. They need all the support they can possibly get to grow, learn, discover their strengths and weaknesses. Ending the day should always have something magical to reflect, feel through all that made us smile and hurt us that day full of work, challenges and meetings. Fear needs to be talked about, worries need to be duscussed and every tiniest bit of happy moments need to be remembered and soaked in, so we can find our peace during the night and gain back some energy for the following day. And to feel loved by at least one person.
