Why is it that when we are in a coffee shop we feel creative?
What's behind these places?
Is it the smell of coffee?
The decoration?
The sound of the coffee grinding machine?
The soundtrack of the place?
Whatever it is, we all think about writing, maybe drawing...?
Do you have a long conversation with friends?
Does caffeine make us feel more motivated?
For me, it definitely gives me energy, makes me feel like I can do all the tasks I have in the day. That before the sunset comes everything is finished.
Maybe coffee disconnects us a little from what we are doing, takes us out of our reality and transports us to another reality where everything is easier.

We cannot deny, that every time we enter a coffee shop we feel totally different, we know that it is a quiet place, where we can rest.
Same as we know that when we go to a night club we will be dancing all night, when we enter a coffee shop we know that we can relax or work and the time will fly by.
And, it's definitely the coffee shops that have this effect, because being at home is another completely different experience.
When I'm at home, coffee is what motivates me to get out of bed.
A memory that I always carried with me, is when I lived with my mom: She got up every day before me, and made coffee...
That smell plus the alarm clock was what woke me up from Monday to Friday. And it was, even on her days off, my mom did the same thing. She made me coffee in the mornings, now I understand that this act is part of her way of communicating and showing love.
But, this is my story, my experience and my relationship with coffee.
