Please note that I am no longer an active ambassador nor do I have any leadership roles on 7 Cups anymore. Hello everyone, I'm Toast! Welcome to 7 Cups and my profile :) I try my best to contribute positively to the community. Unfortunately, at this time, I do not have the time to take up regular member chats. I do have some occasional times that I might be able to, but my status will be green at that time and I only take one-off chats so if you are looking for long-term support, please reach out to another listener. I also only do 45-minute-long chats. But otherwise, my other life commitments restrict me from responding in a timely manner. Please look at my profile for topics I am and I am not comfortable with. That being said, my PMs are always open! I will get back to you as soon as I can, please bear with me on my response time. Feel free to always resend a message if need be! ------------------------- {the undercurrent pulls my body it sweeps pulling my out its anger it keeps the undercurrent draws a turbulent tempt it tumbles my heart with vehement intent the undercurrent rages But I'm sturdy and strong adept in the water for that's where I belong the undercurrent subsides I'm floating serene my eyes see the sun I still live, I still dream -Eileen Manassian, "The deleted poems". } ------------------------- "Our wounds are often the openings into the best and the most beautiful part of us." -David Richo

I am sorry but can't take any new chats right now. If things change I will edit this again Welcome to 7 cups. I believe in treating everyone with respect. If you need to vent or want support, I am here for you. I have been depressed for decades, but have found 7 cups to be an awesome site full of kind people. Leave a message if I am offline and I will get back to you as soon as I can, or you can also go to www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners if you need support right now.

It’s okay to feel deeply, and remember that you won’t always feel the same way you do right now. 🌻 Mistakes are part of being human, and every choice you make, every feeling you have, makes sense in the bigger picture of your life. Someone else, in your shoes, would likely feel just the same. 🌻 And most importantly, love yourself, speak yourself, because: 🌻"Life gets hard, and it gets messed up, When you give so much, but it’s not enough, When the highs are too high, and the lows are too low, Don’t let it kill you—don’t let it break your heart." ❤️ 🌻 Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Let’s Walk Together: Sometimes, being human can feel heavy. Life can feel overwhelming, and the weight of our thoughts can be too much. Whether it's panic, sadness, anger, frustration, or numbness—you don’t have to face it alone. I will not have all the answers, but dark places are so much less scary when you’re not alone.  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───  With love, Ezra, (Ez, essie, estre, Z, zar, zaresoaus, fai, starsie, stars, cool grandma) #hopeforhappyfeet #meepmeep #ByeByeCliques #EdGang #UnicornsForSienna  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

🇬🇧 "If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life" 🇪🇸 "Si nada nos salva de la muerte, al menos el amor debería salvarnos de la vida" 🇬🇧Below is my profile, first in English, then in Spanish.  🇪🇸Abajo está mi perfil, primero en inglés, luego en español(no es fluido).    🇬🇧 Hello 💛 My name is Lusio/Bhavya/Riva. I speak English and Spanish. Apart from being a listener, I also am a ⭐Quality mentor and ⭐Chat supporter What I will try and offer in our chats - 💛Empathy I practice and have unconditional empathy for all, because I believe we all deserve love and kindness irrespective of anything and in any condition. This belief strengthens my ability to be empathetic in more situations than not. Hence, please feel safe to bring any topics to me without any worries of being empathized with.  💛 Respect for boundaries Safe place where boundaries are respected  💛No harmful judgements Feelings and emotions can be freely expressed without unnecessary judgements regarding them.Judging is human nature but I believe in judging to understand than hurting.I believe it's important to offer a space where you would be understood over anything that's been said or done, than guilting and punishing. I believe we are more than what we do, and irrespective of what we do, we all deserve love. Core of that belief is essentially that we all are more than what we do, and irrespective of it all we deserve to be understood and loved in all conditions.I think the world lacks it unfortunately, making it more so valuable to offer it and believe in it being the right way of life . 💛 Active listening skills Complete use of active listening skills allowing me to help you feel safe, understood and attended to. 💛 Communication skills Focus on high standard of communication skills allowing me to make chats feel safe with increased clarity and kindness  💛 Graduate degree in psychology Having a graduate degree in applied psychology  allows me to introduce more knowledge and honed skills when coming to discussing most issues and offer high level of professionalism. 🇪🇸 Hola 💛  Mi nombre es Lusio/Bhavya/Riva.  Hablo Inglés Y Español(no es fluido). Además de ser un oyente, también soy ⭐un Mentor de calidad y  ⭐ Seguidor de chat.  Lo que intentaré ofrecer en nuestros chats:  💛Empatía Practico y tengo empatía incondicional por todos, porque creo que todos merecemos amor y bondad independientemente de cualquier cosa y en cualquier condición.  Esta creencia fortalece mi capacidad de ser empático en la mayoría de las situaciones.  Por lo tanto, siéntete seguro de traerme cualquier tema sin preocuparte de sentir empatía.   💛 Respeto a los límites  Lugar seguro donde se respetan los límites  💛Sin juicios perjudiciales  Los sentimientos y las emociones pueden expresarse libremente sin juicios innecesarios al respecto.Juzgar es la naturaleza humana pero yo creo en juzgar para entender que para lastimar.Creo que es importante ofrecer un espacio donde te entiendan por encima de todo lo que se ha dicho o hecho, en lugar de culpar y castigar.  Creo que somos más de lo que hacemos, e independientemente de lo que hagamos, todos merecemos amor.El núcleo de esa creencia es esencialmente que todos somos más de lo que hacemos y, independientemente de ello, todos merecemos ser comprendidos y amados en todas las condiciones.Creo que lamentablemente el mundo carece de él, por lo que es más valioso ofrecerlo y creer que es la forma correcta de vida.  💛 Habilidades de escucha activa Uso completo de las habilidades de escucha activa que me permiten ayudarte a sentirte seguro, comprendido y atendido.  💛 Habilidades de comunicación   Centrarse en un alto nivel de habilidades de comunicación que me permita hacer que los chats se sientan seguros con mayor claridad y amabilidad.  💛 Licenciatura en psicología  Tener un título de posgrado en psicología aplicada me permite introducir más conocimientos y habilidades perfeccionadas cuando se trata de discutir la mayoría de los temas y ofrecer un alto nivel de profesionalismo. 🇬🇧 I may tend to take time sometimes when responding, or might abandon the chat due to reasons of my own, hope that can be taken into account when messaging me. I try to stay but have some health needs 💛. I will drop 🦴 when I feel in need of taking time.  🇪🇸 Es posible que a veces tiendo a tomarme un tiempo al responder, o puedo abandonar el chat debido a mis propias razones, espero que eso se pueda tener en cuenta al enviarme un mensaje. Hago todo lo posible para quedar, pero tengo que irme debido a mis necesidades de salud.💛💛Dejaré caer 🦴 cuando necesite tomarme un tiempo

"These pains, you feel, are messengers. Listen to them." (Rumi) Hello, fellow human being. How are you? Not good? Worry not, you are not alone in this. You are a survivor and so brave to ask for help when you need it. As Rumi said, pain is a messenger. You must listen to that messenger. The message, it carries, has the key to the progress, you seek. So, lets talk about it? Shall we? Lets make you feel better now. Have a glass of water and talk. Bit about myself I have been active listener on 7cups for quite a while. I like being able to make a positive difference in people's life. When I am not on 7cups, I am probably busy in real life. I am 27 years old  I like to watch movies (huge fan of Marvel and DC), listen to songs (especially Coke Studio) and sleep (Yup, I can sleep anytime even typing it) P.S. I am not online always because of busy routine. If you are in need of immediate help, look out for other listeners by "Browse Listeners" You are welcome to drop a message, I'll try to reply in few days.
