English Version | Out of the Blue
They come without notice, we don’t know how, why or from where. They just happen. Like this, out of nowhere. Puff. They're so unexpected that we don’t even have the time so ask “what’s going on?” Sometimes they end up being wonderful stories. Others, beautiful memories. In worst cases, they are just sad coincidences that we want to leave buried, forever, in the deepest blue.

English version | The Ice Queen
Evening is falling and the cold winter light is bleeding out of a steel-coloured, cloud-covered sky. Soon the short Scandinavian afternoon will give way to night. Not a single gust of wind moves the pine branches; not a single leaf ripples the water’s surface on the lake. Nothing disturbs this infinite expanse of trees, ice and snow enveloped by absolute silence.

English version | To go beyond the error
A great deal of people who look for psychiatric help do it over the fear of making mistakes, or because they can’t help themselves but to repeat the same ones over and over again. And yet, it’s by making mistakes that we learn the most. It’s through error that solutions are found. And that new dimensions of life are discovered.

English version | Lado B: As Good as It Gets
You can call them perfectionists, methodical. Write them off as “pussies” (pardon my French). As long as you don’t reference the OCD cleaning freaks. Which in English, translates to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Because this is serious matter – a very serious matter.

English Version | To love or not to love (that is the question)
“I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The soul calls from within me: ‘You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.’” It is with this outburst of the Persian poet, Rumi, that we pose the following question: is it possible to live without love?

English Version | It takes two to tango
It never happened, but it could have had happened. Platonic love can be summed up almost all this way - with an invisible, but always present, “what if”, which conditions the actions, and thoughts, of its protagonists. In the end, what prevails is a gigantic “nim”, which only serves to soften the most innocent hearts - because, in these stories, only one of the actors is available to love.

English Version | Between the lines, behind the curtains
Love is beautiful. One can generalize this particular concept to their will: love really is beautiful. It so happens that love is not always idyllic, pacific, passive in ostentation. Sometimes, love is, due to the strength of circumstances, more discrete. Other times it is forced to be kept a secret. And often, too many times, it is forbidden and needs to be kept undercovers. Only even in those cases, love leaves traces. And because they are beautiful traces – beautiful because they’re hints of love – we keep them as inspiration.

English Version | Love is: Ana Murcho
If I had ever thought of you, you would have been more gentle, more outgoing, more loving, more tolerant, more fun, more thoughtful, more cheerful, more dreamy, more resilient - more human. You would have dimples in your cheeks from laughing, you would have wrinkles in your arms from hugging so much, you would have shaggy hair from stretching so much - together. But since I never thought of you, since I never imagined you, the image you now present fulfills the purpose of not knowing who (you) are.

These true loves, made up of routine and amazement in equal measure, hardly find worthy comparisons in human relationships. The following little stories reveal this love.

English Version | Lado B: Magnifying Glass
The mirror can also hide a magnifying glass that highlights what we would like to make disappear. For those suffering from body dysmorphia, this object does not attract Narcissus, but Eris, the mother of all evils.
