Thank You - DonaldDraper was here - FollowUp Part 1

August 1st, 2023

As you all know I will be leaving cups on 15th Aug and I had made a post about it which you can read here

I mentioned in the replies that I will be coming up with a follow up post. But it was turning out to be too branched and long. So, I decided to break it down in 8 parts.

This is part 1 wherein I just wanna thank you all

First and foremost, I just have to say, WOW! You all have blown me away with your love and support after I shared my decision to step away from 7cups.


Seriously, your response has been nothing short of amazing. The comments, the private messages โ€“ I've been feeling like a celebrity! ๐Ÿ˜„ I never expected such an overwhelming outpouring of understanding and encouragement, and it truly touched my heart. You all are the reason this community is so special.


I want to give a special shout-out to GlenM, who responded with such a stoic and empathetic message.
Even though most people related to what I said, many peoples had questions about what the issues were that I was talking about, but Glen got it right away. Your understanding meant the world to me.
(Read the response here)

You all have made this decision so much easier with your response. โค๏ธ

You know, as I contemplate stepping away from 7cups, I can't help but think of my farewell as potentially my last community event hosting ! ๐Ÿ˜„ So, let's make it one to remember! ๐ŸŽ‰ The show must go on!

In my next post, I promise to dive into the nitty-gritty and clarify the issues I raised about the changing culture and hope to make it more transparent. (I just need some time to write it well)

So, thank you all once again for your unwavering support, and let's keep the positive vibes flowing. Stay tuned for the next installment, where we unravel the mysteries and come together to create an even better 7cups community.


With a grateful heart,

DonaldDraper

@DonaldDraper the things that are wrong with 7 cups. All of them. Nothing can be fixed if the problem is unknown. I know the answers aren't always clear but if we know the problem maybe we can find the solution together.

@DonaldDraper I was secretly hoping that Glen's supportive response would be enough to make you reconsider your intentions of leaving 7cups; but I know it is selfish of me to hope that. I really am so proud of you and I can't wait to see your grand exit when leaving. You are already off to such an impacting start. Thanks for the tag again, Donald. I sure am going to miss them and you*, of course. <3 Xoxo.

@YourCaringConfidant Not sure about grand. But my mind is made up. The supportive responses by most people in the threads is more grand than I could have hoped for. ๐Ÿค—

I respect your decision, obviously. Just not a pleasant surprise โœŒ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜ (to be brutally honest).

Oh well...

Thank you for being a great PS when I needed it, for the room hoppings sessions, or cohost sessions out of the blue, and for years of supports in many ways.

But most of all, thank you for being a great friend, Don! ๐Ÿค

Keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you success in all your endeavors! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜Š
