(Updated, current month 2024)
❤️ *on a break❤️ 







Response Time/ PM-land access: 

🌻 Members: 

New Member Chats: I'm completely unavailable for new members. (Members I've never talked to before whether new or old on cups) 

Regular/ Recurring/ Old Member Chats: People I've talked to/ supported over a committed time frame, I love to hear updates from you, and am happy to see your messages. But please know that I'm unavailable for LIVE chats and can only reply offline, when I'm able to. (Responses may be several days delayed)


So whether you're a new member or someone I've talked to before, if you need Live/ Immediate/ Urgent/ Regular/ Long-term support chat, please reach out to another available listener in cups. 


You deserve prompt support, which I cannot offer, for an unforeseeable time! ❤






🌻 Listeners: 

I'm available for Peer Support and Chat Support only when I've accepted your request either through Chat Support/ Peer Supporter request forms or in the LSR, so please before messaging me for any of it, ask me in the room, as otherwise I may not be available to respond timely!

Mentees/ Coachees:

I'm so proud of you for trying your best to improve as a listener, and happy to hear any updates from you! 

I'm typically unavailable for Live chats, and offline responses may vary, feel free to drop your questions though, if not too urgent, and I'll respond as soon as possible!






If you need a live chat, let me know a little in advance, mentioning the topic for the chat/ kind of support needed, your time/ availability in ET pr cups-time and hopefully, we can schedule for a live chat sometime! 

Not available for any personal chats/ PMs unless stated/ agreed to otherwise.

(Due to a high influx of messages, I'm unable to prioritize replying to messages with just a "hey/hi/ greeting", thank you for greeting me, but please do share a bit about "what" you're reaching out for, whether as a listener or a member, as it helps me understand how to respond better and faster. Messages with only "hey/ hi/ greetings" are missed often.) 






I'll be around, in the forums and chatrooms when I can though, feel welcome to tag me in your posts or replies, happy to see you! 🥰

I've sadly not been getting notifications for all the tags lately, apologies if missed your tag. Feel free to send another tag or a personal message, if needed. 






(I know) Extremely slow response rate: I'm on a break from several activities/roles here, but have been catching up with PMs and tags as much as possible. Responses will be slow and delayed, your patience is appreciated. Send a follow-up, if I missed your important message or if you need an urgent reply. <3






Support shouldn't be delayed, so I highly recommend browsing for other listeners when you need some emotional support. Please remember you are awesome and not alone here. ❤

Stay great and take good care, everyone. 










 Response time for all my current (regular) members/ listeners (and mentees) would vary as I am not logging in here regularly as earlier, I apologize if messages are delayed.  Send a follow-up, if needed.
































Thank you for understanding, YOU do come first and there's plenty of support available at all times, please do find an amazing currently active listener  HERE, and I hope you receive the best support available! 💖












Hello, Amazing Human,




















Welcoming hugs and high fives and cookies for you! (Take what you need hehe)

I am Sun, Thank you for finding me here, I understand life isn't always smooth sailing, we all have our ups and downs.








































I know I won't be able to solve all your problems, but problems shared are problems halved, right? Or even if not halved, I do feel sharing can help reduce the burden of overwhelming thoughts and feelings in your mind ~ your mind is not a notepad, it shouldn't be a place to "store" thoughts and feelings ~ share away, your mind deserves to feel lighter and better and so do *you* ... Besides being a trained verified listener here, I can offer you a kind, empathetic and non-judgmental ear and help you guide through these dark times.












Feel free to Talk/ Share/ Vent and I'll be more than happy to listen to you, provide you with a safe and comfortable space and help you feel better in any way I can.

Please do keep in mind that I can't and won't advise you, I can help you guide through the roads, but the steering wheel will always be in your hand and the direction to choose will always be your decision solely since you know your journey and your destination, the best.

Rest assured, you've got your passenger seat covered for any support and encouragement always! 

I am a persun who believes in the power of sharing smiles, happiness, kindness, encouragement, hope and positivity And I would love to share these with you too if you allow me to (always at your pace and comfort of course).🌻


I am pretty respectful and polite to everyone and personally do not use any offensive language including any kind of passive-aggressive/ provoking remarks, so would certainly expect and appreciate the same from you. Everyone deserves basic respect and decency! 💛

 People looking for inappropriate sexual chats and/ or interested in making any sexual advances towards me~ this is an emotional support platform ~ and we do *not* entertain such kinds of conversations here.

Please refrain from sending any messages, if you're here for any reason other than seeking emotional support, thankyou.



I don't take chats on topics such as chronic pain, panic attacks, sexual health and self-harm.

Feel free to browse other amazing listeners for these topics and those not listed under "categories" HERE❤ 

💛If you are currently having crisis thoughts (active or passive, or actively harming yourself) *offers hugs*, I know how terrible it can be to be in this hopeless situation, please however respect our boundaries as a listener, our limits and that 7 cups is not a crisis platform, we do care and therefore ask you to reach out to relevant channels of support. You can find resources here:-  7cups.com/crisis, please do connect with a hotline.
You may not believe it at the moment, but you are *not* unworthy of living, you are not taking space unnecessarily, you are not your current situation neither your current thoughts. Nobody exactly knows, but we gotta keep hanging on tightly, to see for ourselves when and how it gets better because it does, *someday* and you need to be here to experience it. 

Brave it in this very moment, reach out for help. You owe it to *yourself*. 💛


The topics I am comfortable providing support for include general mental health struggles, getting unstuck, managing emotions, student life-related topics, friendship/ relationship/ family stress, social anxiety, self-esteem issues etc. and more are listed below, under categories!


Feel free to send a message if you see me online (green status) and I will get back to you as soon as I can, we can then schedule a time and day for a chat or agree upon offline messaging, whichever is more comfortable and suitable for us. 🤗


At Last, remember that you are not alone, your mental health is important, you are a brave person to seek support,  you are here and I am proud of you for that. 


If you give me a chance I'll try my best to be there for you, to be there with you and remind you that even if the clouds appear to be very dark at any point in time,  the Sun Is Shining And So Are Youuuu. 🌻🌞🌻

You are one Amazing human, you are important, you matter and You are deserving of kindness, happiness, support, love and all things amazing in life!

...See more Hey hey everyone, is it too early to start binging on the cliche netflix christmasyyy rom coms already? I think not!😛 One of my favorite things to do during these last two months of the year is to watch the Christmasyy themed movies, and if it's a cliche rom-com, then it's even better!🥰 I did see a few recently added titles on Netflix (likely on other streaming platforms too) and I think "it's beginning to look like Christmas" lol, but haven't watched any yet, sooooo would love any recommendations, for such movies, themed around Christmas, holidays, festive cheer, rom-com etc all things wholesome and loving!🥰 Any all-time Christmas favorite movies?😮 Feel free to share any recommendations, old as well as new, and for any streaming platforms other than netflix also!💖

...See more Hey hey everyone, it's thaaaaatttt time of the year, and of course our lovely Peer Appreciation Program [https://www.7cups.com/forum/gratitude/AppreciationProgram_2310/PeerAppreciationProgram_262230/] had to step up!🥰 (For what?😮) For Thanksgiving. (duh!) While traditional festivities often center around enormous feasts with family and friends gathered around a table, we have the unique opportunity to adapt our celebrations for a virtual world, our beloved Cups-Space here. Thanksgiving, however one sees it, is mostly, I feel a joyful occasion that calls for gratitude, connection, and, most importantly, a genuine appreciation for the wonderful people in our lives. As we gather virtually on Cupsland, let’s celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving by shining a light on one another and making this a joyous celebration of our friendships, support systems, love, kindness and the compassion we share.💛 So this year, let’s celebrate "Cups-giving"~ a delightful riff on Thanksgiving where we celebrate and "refill" each other's cups with positivity and gratitude. And what better way to do that than through words of appreciation? Because hey, a few kind words, and some genuine encouragement really does go a long long way.🥰 Each of us carries a unique cup filled with our emotions, experiences, efforts, and moments shared. The beauty of our community lies in the support and joy we bring to one another, yes(?). I believe, every interaction, every smile, every encouraging word, every kind act, every thoughtful gesture adds a drop to our collective cup~ the giant 7CupsCommunityCup that has every possible flavor brewed with love, and garnished with kindness!💛 ------------------------- I can really go on about the Spirit of Thanksgiving, the Importance of Gratitude and my Excitement to see the Appreciations flowing in, but we got to do this early, so the notes can be delivered *this* year 😂 and therefore, without further yapping, to kick things off, here are some fun and heartfelt prompts for you to spread joy and appreciation around.💛 (I think I already did half the work here for you 😛) All there's left now is to truly embrace the spirit of gratitude within and make someone's day with a heartfelt message!🥰 ⭐ [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsCXyPYjQ4dsfLMh2ZzXC4of1lEutJsSasbkzc6JLDq7b8ow/formResponse] Send a thank you message to a listener here.

It’s a win-win, yeah?! (I'd like to believe the reward is an "extra" here, like a bonus for your time and love, but in all honesty, just realizing you've made someone's day and made someone smile is worth every second spent in typing out a heart-warming message) Said everything but the most important thing?

Yes, you can fill out as many appreciations you want to, for as many people you want to express your gratitude to or want to send a little "I'm thinking of you this thanksgiving" note. Utilising as many prompts you like to, or even without!🥰 (Wanna join hands on the other side of the table and help us deliver these notes too?

So now just would like to take this opportunity to thank *you* for being a part of the community.💛 Wishing everyone a joyful, loving and content Thanksgiving!🤗
Think Of A Yellow Car 💛
Positivity & Gratitude / by Sunisshiningandsoareyou

...See more Hey hey everyone, I hope this post finds you doing amazingly well.💛 I've been wanting to write this post for a while now, and finally can get it posted! 💛The Law of Attraction and the Power of Focus ft. Yellow Car Theory💛 The Law of Attraction says that our thoughts and feelings can shape our reality. This idea suggests that when we focus our energy and attention on something, whether it's a goal, desire, or even a material object, could be anything really, we are more likely to attract those very things into our lives. A simple yet powerful example of this phenomenon is the experience of noticing a yellow car. Once you start looking for a yellow car, you begin to see them everywhere. This isn’t merely coincidence, it’s a reflection of where you direct your attention and energy. (Ever tried this little activity of spotting a yellow car on the streets though? I have and it worked for me hehe, at times not a yellow car but a yellow something and I think it counts💛) The universe responds to our focus, amplifying the things we think about most. When we consciously decide to concentrate on positivity, gratitude, or our goals, we often find opportunities and experiences that align with those thoughts. This is not just limited to material desires, it extends to relationships, career aspirations, personal growth, sooo many different aspects in our life. For instance, if you focus on cultivating gratitude, you might begin to notice more things in your life to appreciate. (This one, I can personally vouch for, as even though I've been someone who notices and appreciates the little things and has gratitude for life and living beans since forever, with the kind of reserved, introverted, "takes time to let people in" personality I have it's the "expression" part that I've found to be lacking in but major improvements on this front and a hearty biiiiig thanks to 7 cups and specially the Peer Appreciation Program [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsCXyPYjQ4dsfLMh2ZzXC4of1lEutJsSasbkzc6JLDq7b8ow/viewform] that I've not just noticed the great around but also let people know as often I can)  Similarly, if you concentrate on finding new opportunities at work, you may become more aware of openings or collaborations that you previously overlooked or just missed for xyz reasons. The act of focusing can create a ripple effect, allowing us to manifest what we truly desire. (Lol and not in the "witchy-voodoo" way but speaking something into the universe for yourself sooooo sincerely and consistently that the universe has no option but to reward you with it)  However, it’s essential to recognize that this practice requires intention and consistency. It’s not enough to simply wish for something; we must actively engage with our thoughts and feelings, aligning our actions with our aspirations. Yesss, all-talk and no-game doesn't work anywhere. Harsh truth, but important to remember.  By harnessing the power of focus, we can transform our lives, attracting the energy we wish to experience. I feel, this powerful principle emphasizes that our mindset plays a crucial role in shaping our reality. If we really think it through~ Mind Over Matter, always.  I'd like to open the floor for some reflection and discussion now:  (Answer any and all that you like) 💛 How have you experienced the Law of Attraction in your own life, whether consciously or unconsciously (like you didn't know it was LOA till later when you thought about it more closely) 💛 In what ways can you apply the principle of focusing your energy to manifest specific goals or desires? 💛 What do you think are the challenges of maintaining a positive focus, and how can you overcome them? 💛 Do you believe in LOA? How can understanding the connection between focus and manifestation change the way you approach your daily life? Looking forward to hear from you. Please do feel free to share your thoughts and experiences!💛
Long Distance Friendships!💛

November 2nd
...See more Helloo everyone coming across, I hope this post finds you doing well.💛 I feel there's a lot of compassion and tips to around managing "long distance relationships" which are difficult, of course, but something I find less-talked-about and something that is deserving of more importance are our long-distance-friendships.  Such is adult-hood at times and life getting all lifey, leading us to move farther from our friend(s), people leave and shift to different places for xyz different reasons, for studies, work, better opportunities, circumstances in life etc and it can be an incredibly daunting experience "leaving people behind" or "being the one who's left behind", a lot of these friendships sort of dwindle away with time and gaps in communication or emotional distance along with the physical distance, but there's just some of these friendships and some of these super special people that we want to hold dearly still and try our best to have them in our life, despite the distance, and soooo say hello to the concept of long distance friendship hehe.  Ooh and even the online friendships can be included here, people we haven't met in-person, but still vibe with and find some solace in their presence over the online-medium.💛 Opening space for some reflection and sharing support with one another.💛 Feel free to answer any and all that you feel comfortable with- 💛 Do you have any long distance friends? How do you feel about staying friends despite the distance between y'all?  💛 If at all any, what are your usual struggles in your long-distance friendship? How do you navigate those? 💛 What keeps you and your long distant friend connected still? What are the little ways in which you manage to keep the bond alive? 💛 Any tips to nurture healthy, loving, long-term friendships even through the distance? Would love to hear from you and here's hoping we can all foster a mutually supportive and empathetic space here!💛
One thing that helps!❤

...See more Hiya everyone, hope everyone's doing well.💖 I'm sure a lot of us come across situations here or even elsewhere, where many are dealing with similar issues in their dating/relationship experiences, and so much lies around how helpful it is to communicate with your partner, establishing a healthy space for expression and understanding. While communication is typically amongst the first tips to bank on, I was wondering what else may be helpful in managing healthy bonds with those that we love. Sooo, everyone coming across ~ What is that one thing that you feel has been helpful in keeping your relationships healthy and intact?💖 Or a tip/ insight that you'd like to share with others here that may be of some help in building stronger relationships.💖
Username Stories!🌞

November 7th
...See more Hiya everyone, I hope this new month brings each one of us lots of peace and joy!💖 Okie I'll try not to blabber too much and come straight to the point! xD  Soooo, we know that when we sign up on 7 cups, we are assigned an auto-generated username because anonymity first hehe.  And of course, we can change our username from our settings page, for upto first 2 weeks and then after filling a form and providing a valid reason. Which is how there's so many people here who have come up with almost random looking words from the English language, that when put together bring us a spectacular "username", which is often synonymous to their personality, and of course, a major part of our identity here at 7 cups.  Purely an observation, and of course, it could've been deeply impacted by the "roles" each account plays here, "listeners" on here to listen to people, support and be an encouraging presence reigniting hope for those that need it, have a more "upbeat" sorta username, usually. (Usually being the keyword) On the other hand, I notice some "member" account usernames that aren't as "upbeat" sounding, which also makes complete sense because on our member account, we are likely more vulnerable and embracing of the not-so-happy-and-okay-us too. (Again, usually being the keyword, and a personal observation entirely) Indeed, there's extremes but then there's also a broad spectrum, and we are all spread out on it embracing our unique-ness and authenticity, describing it as how we see it and are comfortable with. 🌞 I love coming across different usernames that attempt to personate the person behind the screen in one or more ways, whatever way it speaks to *them*. To each their own, always! However, yes it makes me wonder how our usernames shape up our identity here, how we see ourselves and also for others and how we'd like them to see us too. A username speaks a lot about the person, I feel, the more-thought-out ones, specially. Ones with some context and with a backstory! (I tried xD but fortunately, I am me and I'll complete the entire story even after saying "long story short"~ ooh and sometimes even with sub-plots and individual character-development arcs 🤣) Alrighty, now some questions to get your brain-juices flowing-  🌞 What does your username mean? Is there a backstory, you'd like to share? 🌞 If you had an alternate username or could change your username to something else more inclined towards the *current you*, what would you keep it as? Why? 🌞 What's the most captivating username you've come across here? (Yes please, you can tag them by putting an "@" sign before their name) What do you like about it? 🌞 A Gift for youuu: Tag 3 of your peers here and share an alternate username for them, that you feel fits them most. (Needless to say, but we practice extra caution lol, sooo, ~ Appropriate Language Only, *please*) Brownie points if you can be a little descriptive and share "why" do you feel it fits them. I'd love to hear from everyone coming across this.💖

...See more Hiya delightful tv and movies community, how are we doing today?💛 I recently finished watching this show called Bridgerton on Netflix, after finally giving into all the hype about it hehe.  Still trying to fully formulate an opinion if I actually like-like it or not, so would like to hear from others as well.  For the most part, I think the show is great, and the hype is somewhere deserved hehe, but it was a slow-to grow on me kinda show for me, the first few episodes of every season, at least.😅 👑 If you've watched it already, how did you like it, overall? 👑 Out of the three seasons/ stories, which one stood out more for you? Because? 👑 Favorite character(s)? Because?  👑 Do you have any alternate endings or storylines in mind about it? (For instance, I would've really liked seeing Eloise's character being given more arc and space through the show)

...See more Hiya everyone.💚 There's so many great qualities to look for in a person and eventually, in a friend. So many basics like a good sense of humor, someone kind, someone empathetic, someone fun to be around, someone caring, someone supportive, someone trustworthy and honest, someone helpful and nice, someone loyal and authentic and so many more. Which makes me wonder, what do most people consider to be the absolute bestest thing/ quality in a friend. What's the greenest flag according to you in a friend?💚

Thanks again for the many hugs of encouragement.
One of the best. So kind. So giving of there time.
goodness you really ARE good aren't you. You are incredibly validating. Thank you! I felt I was listened and finally heard by someone.
Sun. In the short times I’ve seen suns “rays” I’ve been inspired and affected greatly. A simple kindness can go so far , like a seed in a field of good soil but no flowers. I appreciate the kindness and positive you spread. Like the sun lights up the world, so does this member. If the sun was a human, it would be sun here heh. Happiest convo I’ve ever had on 7 cups was with sun. 7/5 stars 😌
Kind Listener. Very helpful
Friendly, understanding, helpful, kind
Sun is an absolute sweetie; I feel totally relaxed during our chats!
So caring and supportive! Thanks
Thank you so much for all your support. You're an amazing host, mod, and of course friend. I know I can count on you to be there when things get tough. Grateful I've met you, and thanks for chatting with me. 🦊
I’m surprised they come to check on me even though I forgot to reply. Very careful and patient. Highly recommend
Really helpful and does a good job of listening
My mind and my thoughts became more organized after chatting with her, i felt understood and validated.
Sun is amazing! A true reflection of his/her profile picture. Thank you for your support and listening to me. One of the very very best on 7Cups!
Sun, I am at a loss for words for this review. You've really helped me a lot recently. You shine so brightly, my friend, you helped me out of a mental tunnel. I was really feeling very alone and lost. You check-in with me always and usually I am able to pass a smile and just say I am alright, this time I couldn't but, you turned that whole thing around. You made my day 100x times better just by exchanging a few messages and that Sun, no listener has been able to do that for me. Your empathy, your thoughtfulness, your warmth, supportiveness and your love - all of these are so important to me, they're so valuable. I have never felt so surreal after talking to a listener but this one chat will go down history as one of the best things someone else has done for me. Having expressed my gratitude to you for helping me, please know that your value in my life will always be as a friend, you are special to me because you are a friend to me. Your listening skills are on the sharpest point but above anything else, I will always see you as my friend. So, thank you Sun for giving me time and space, you have made me feel much better. Please know that you're shining really brightly as always and recently you've also made a lil girl find her light back. Extremely lucky to know you, you are special to me because you exist and because you are, you completely. Thank you so much, Sunnie
"Sunisshiningandsoareyou" aka Sunny♥️, I remember when I first talked to you in group chat, you were one of those people who were kindest to me❤ Then you took time to check on me...I appreciate that a lot....You are someone who has supported me a lot in my journey, in my ups and downs, you have been an amazing friend, listener and a great motivator 😃 to me...I admire you a lot, your understanding, empathy, your kind and sweet words, your optimistic yet practical perspective, everything about you, is soo amazingggg...You're one of the intelligent and compassionate listeners I have met here who genuinely cares, and is always ready to support their members💙 you always make me smile, I find myself lucky and very much grateful to talk to you everytime, You're someone who made me realize the real value of "Self love"....for person like me who is always anxious and hesitant to speak about their problems, you have always provided me a safe space to talk to without actually forcing me and yet supporting me a lot ❤ Your each and every word (those text walls xD, I love them) mean a lot more to me than you know❤ Thank you for all the work you do here, thank you for being as amazing as always..wish you all the happiness you deserve you more🤗❤ "And we gonna be alright Dry your tears and hold tight Can't you tell? I got news for you Sun is shining and so are you" 😉❤
An absolute sweetheart; brings a smile to my face. Sun is kind, caring, and brings a certain energy to the room like no other. Much love and appreciation
Wonderful, empathetic and positive!
Kind, lovely, thoughtful, caring, concerned, and bubbly. Really makes you feel welcome and like you're in a safe, familiar, cozy place.
Always fun to have a chat with . Makes me smile on bad days and is just lovely to have around. Very supportive and thoughtful. ❤
Amazing listener! 😄💕✨
*ahem* I can't believe I didn't leave a review for you already. this is crazy. anyway, never too late. you are seriously the best listener friend (well more of a friend hehe) I have found here. you're the kindest, most supportive, most optimistic, patient, observant, sweet and literally a million more adjectives. every time I see you in any of the rooms, my heart just smiles because you just have this aura about you, wherever you are, the sun is literally shining. I am not exaggerating a bit here. you make sure to reply to every text a person sends you and you don't miss out anything! like you genuinely want to talk to the person and trust me, a lot of people are not like that. you make me feel heard and understood every damn time. you check in with me too, you make sure I am doing okay and if you haven't seen me in a while, you ask if there's something I want to talk about. how can a person be this caring? only I know because I have had the pleasure to connect with you! you have an amazing taste in music, you are kind to every single person, you can understand what the other person is going through and you are you, Sun. I like every single thing that makes you, you and I know I have to get to know you first but I am looking forward to it! I find you relatable (let's be assertive XD 'maybe?' haha) there is no one else like you. you have secured a very special place in my heart. I know you're always there for me and I am always here for you too. you're one of the most special friends I have made here. you're a great person and I hope you know you make a huge difference in the lives of others. I know friends don't say thank you so much but a BIG THANK YOU for being you and talking to me. you make my heart happy by being around and I love talking to you
She's the best ! I haven't felt that secure for so many years in my life ...talking with her was a blast …..she's not only treating you as a patient , but she´s treating you as a good friend , someone you can trust . Grateful to have you here !!!
Honestly, I am grateful for your existence! Thankyou for being there with me when I absolutely needed someone, it's not easy to be selfless , you're really a kind soul. I look forward to talking again. Always remain the same , lovely human that you are . Big Thankyou . I loved the whole experience.
Very kind and supportive
one of the best listeners out there
Thankyou for being a active listener. Your level of interest made me easily open up with you. You were bery good in relating to the situations. Will be awaiting to talk again soon.
She's very helpful and i really appreciate her for being there for me, talking, listening, i recommend her to people who needs a great listener. It would be helpful to be considerate when talking to listeners here too. Always observe kindness and respect. Hope to talk to you again. I am thankful. Thank you so much.
