she celebrates her cupversary (:
hello, amazing human! guess what? it's been 2 years since i joined 7 cups! for me, that's huge. think about it... 2 years! that's a lot.
where do i even begin? november of 2020 was the start of something wonderful; a new adventure. a 7 cups adventure. i was going through a rough time, so i literally googled "talk to a psychologist online for free", and next thing i know, i am using 7 cups and chatting with my first listener ever. i wish i could remember their username because the first chat i had here, literally changed my life. i felt heard. i felt so much better than before. i felt alive. and i am very thankful for that.
when i started feeling like myself again, i decided to join as a listener (i won't reveal my username though😜), and omg, i loved it! reading "thank you so much for your help! i am feeling so much better now" is one of the best feelings 7 cups could give me❤️ listening to members, joining the group chats, and chatting to other listeners allowed me to meet wonderful people. 7 cups is full of kind souls, both members and listeners. and the fact of feeling part of a community is even better than i could have imagined.
today, i am happy to be here (: i know i come here as a member when i am feeling down, i need support or a distractor (and i am probably not the only one who does that), but i don't see that as a negative thing. quite the opposite! i am so glad i found 7 cups two years ago, so that whenever i am feeling lonely and i don't have anyone near me to talk to, i know there will always be someone willing to support me. or the other way round: i can help someone who simply needs someone to listen. after all, helping others is a gift that can't be compared to anything.
thank you everyone on 7 cups for these past two years! 💜 it has been like a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs, i have learned lots of things, and i have made tons of memories. i hope everyone is enjoying their 7 cups journey (:
with love,
she.
(if i had to throw a cupversary party, i would have carrot cake as dessert, so everyone reading this, here you go🎂)

💙I basically started here the same way, needed to talk through issues and feeling really defeated and beat up. Had quite a few really great listeners, and the current one is just amazing. He introduced me to a poem that I read to this day when I'm feeling depressed or frustrated with life in general...In the poem is a line that says, "You have a right to be here." During the lowest moment at the time, when I read that line I cried my eyeballs out. Today, even with my current situations, my perspective is a little bit better, and really the help here has been wonderful, just like the people I have met here, just like you are. It has been a great pleasure to chat with you.💙
@Justkimtalking kim, thank you for sharing💚 i am so glad to hear you’ve had great listeners and that you currently have one.
isn’t it beautiful how even poem lines can make us change our perspective and emotions? 💞 i will remember the line “you have a right to be here” thanks to you.
it’s always a pleasure to chat with you, kim! (:
@Justkimtalking I am so glad you are doing better ! And you just dont deserve to be here , you also deserve all th love in the world !!! Would you mind sharing the poem ?? I would lovee to seee it !!
@Sociablestrawberry2202 The poem, it's called Desiderata by Max Ehrmann. (Hope I spelled his last name right.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
