So Long 7 Cups....A Message from Laura

@Laura

This is really bittersweet We will miss you lots, Laura!

Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to this community for the last 5 years! You have been an amazing role model and mentor to us all.

My favorite memory is definitely getting you to dance in The Dance Project and the Conga Lines we used to do in the rooms!

Sending you big hugs! Keep in touch!

@Laura

Thank you for all your outstanding contributions sitewide. You have truly made a long lasting impact in our community. I will miss you! ❤️

I enjoyed the interactions I had with you about our Welcoming Team. It has been an honor to have you with us. I am glad you will still have your listener account.

Best wishes for your future. Sincere thanks for everything.

@Laura this truly is bittersweet and shocking news for me.

A memory I will never forget is how you appreciated my efforts as a listener and leader. When the Veterans community was just beginning its birth, you were confident in my abilities and your motivational and supportive messages enabled me to trust the seeds of the new project.

Your continuous support regardless of a specific project is and was always appreciated.

Whether it was the threads or group support, your energy and dedication truly inspired me and will continue to do so - I will surely make sure to try stay in touch with you, one of my role models in the community.

Well, I cannot believe I am reading this...it takes some time to sink in since Laura for me was synonimous with 7cups. When I was dissappointed at me or the site in childish outbursts trying to close my account you were always there for me just to offer me a helping hand and pull me back in and tell me good things even if I did not listen in my closed mind...

I feel grief and loss and void, emptiness and abandonment. It is not up to me to praise the entirety of your dedicated work with what 7cups is, but I just tell you a sincere grateful modest "Thank you!", a warm sad hug🤗😔 and wishes that your saga will take you on new wonderful paths in life where you can work your magic and help people again!

Good bye Laura...I shall miss your pressence...

@Laura

Hello Laura, sorry to hear you are leaving. I wish you all the best with your life projects, thanks for all you have done since we met!

A memory for me is when you introduced me to the communities being available to explain me how all about it works.

It has been nice to work together for the translation project, you were following it!!

The nicest funny memory is when you asked me to make some threads for the animals icons that are shown in every listeners profile

I liked to share with you the pics I took at mountains where I go on vacation, you liked the scenery and it has been a way to be closer for a moment!

Wish you all the best Laura, keep on with your positive attitude for life!

@Laura

It has been an absolute pleasure working with throughout these last few years. Thank you for your continued work and support throughout these years. You have always looked out for this community and worked tirelessly to support our wonderful members and listeners. It saddens me to see you go but at the same time, I think it is selfish to keep you all to ourselves! I am excited to see you explore more opportunities and can't wait to see the journeys you embark on next!

I absolutely loved the touch of a personal video and the cameo by coco of course! There have been so many memories formed over time but one thing in particular that comes to mind is an interaction I had with you back when I was a peer supporter with no idea who an admin actually is and I poked your PMs and asked you many questions about how to progress as a listener in 7 Cups and you told me to give it my best and be open to feedback, to this day I follow that advice!

Hello friends! I am not much experienced but I have seen many people misuse this platform considering it a dating site and having inappropriate chats privately. I request everyone to pay some respect to the actual meaning of this app that it is for mental health and consultation not something to jerk around. One bad or more can pollute the whole app.Go find pleasure somewhere else. Don't ruin people emotionally here. Thanks!

I have been writing this because i personally get such requests and messages so this awareness should be spread for appropriate use of app and protecting it from people who harm the people here.

Regards!

@Laura Wow, I never saw this coming, Laura. I'm lost for words. I just can't believe that this happens so soon. However, I still want to wish you a good luck on your future endeavors. It's so sad to see you go, you're one of the pillars of 7cups. 7cups wouldn't be where it is right now if it weren't for you.

We didn't interact that much and only if it's necessary, but I just really want you to know that I appreciate you so much. Thank you for always giving me a chance to prove myself and continue to serve here in our community. You've also taught me a lot of things that really contributed to my growth as a person and as a community leader.

These moments that I'd like to remind you about are when you randomly left a post on one of my check-in threads when I was still doing check-ins for the Depression Support Community:

and when you messaged me out of nowhere just to compliment me about my positive feedposts and to wish me a good day.

These are the things that I truly cherish as I continue to thrive here in our community. Thank you for all the hard work you've done over the past 5 years. You never fail to amaze me how you're able to manage this amazing and supportive community of ours. And now that the time has come that you'll no longer be continuing what you've been doing, I'm sure that the legacy you're leaving will continue to last and touch the lives of many 7cups users. I wish you all the best in life! *shares pizza*
