...See more Hello, 7 Cups Residents, 7 Cups is a community of compassion and support. We at 7Cups believe in acknowledging and celebrating milestones, accomplishments, special moments, and days. Days like Birthdays and Cupsversay (Anniversary at 7Cups) are some of the most important days of our lives. We want to join in your celebration and celebrate you in our own style - the 7Cups way. We share love bombs, birthday wishes, shout-outs, cookies, cakes, glitter, and hugs. We come together to celebrate each other because you matter to us. You are a part of our community and we are blessed to have you. Thank you for being a 7 Cups resident. * If it is your birthday, please let us know here. * If it is the birthday of someone you know here, please share with us here. Also, we would love to hear how would you like to celebrate your birthday here on 7 Cups or any experiences of your birthday that you are comfortable sharing with us. Also, Do you know? * You can host a small party for your friend! A 15-30 min banner can be set by a mod in the community room so you can celebrate the birthday party. The party should not clash with any prior scheduled event (check tockify [https://www.7cups.com/home/communityCalendar.php]). Please reach out to the community mod on duty to let them know of the party and ask them to set an alert so more people can join in the fun. Both members and listeners can host, there are no requirements to who can throw a party! * You can also make a post for them Click here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/PositivityGratitude_170/HonoringBirthdaysCupversaries_179/] to see the forum section where you can make posts to celebrate birthdays. * Some rules to follow: 🎈 While it is okay to celebrate someone's special day, it is not okay to make others feel excluded. If someone is unaware of who is being celebrated, provide them some context and make an effort to include them. 🎈 All celebratory parties are public, this means anyone can join and they should be welcomed wholeheartedly. 🎈 The host who requested/set up the banner is required to stay for the whole party and ensure that everyone present feels welcomed and included. While it can be a good idea to show your appreciation and acknowledgment through such events but please don't feel pressured to host or attend any party. This is just an option for those interested. If your birthday is coming up and you want to throw yourself a party, that is also perfectly okay! We encourage and celebrate self-care and self-love. Let's work together to make each other's special days more fun! Happy Birthday, fellow cupser. I wish you a lovely birthday and a thriving year filled with joy and accomplishments.

Words of Affirmation & Ways to Say "I Love You"
by Heather225
Last post
 August 30th
...See more I was just answering a prompt here about underrated ways to show someone you care and for me, it's the verbal sentiments. Words can be powerful! People whose primary love language is Words of Affirmation feel most loved and appreciated when they receive compliments, words of encouragement, expressions of affection, and verbal acknowledgment of their efforts and feelings. So I wanted to do something fun with this! What's something(s) someone can say to you that would make you feel loved or cared for? I'll start: "Text me when you get home." "This reminded me of you." "Let me do that for you." Your turn! 💗

Lessons from 7Cups

...See more Hey everyone, Some of you may know me, others may not, for those who don’t nice to meet you briefly.  Those who do know me though, may know that my time on this site is drawing to a close at least for the near future although I hope to visit at some point. Throughout my time on the site, one thing stands out and that is all the things I have learnt and gained during my time here.  Once deciding to leave this site as a listener, I wanted to create something that wrapped up the site for me. After doing so, I have decided to share it. Between joining and leaving there are so many aspects that are important to learn. While a lot of this applies to listeners, some parts also apply for members too.  I hope that at least some people here enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed creating it.  Here is a link to it, in case it is easier to see (clickable) [https://ibb.co/pyWS66C] 7Cups will always be a part of my memories and will never be forgotten. But for now this is a goodbye from me to everyone here.  Tagging @AnnaSilverberg thank you for giving me the idea of making this post.

The "Pay it Forward" Chain
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 February 19th
...See more Hello everyone,  This week we are celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week. This post is part of the February Group Support Event: Kindness, Courage, Connection [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/GroupSupportCommunityEvents_2295/FebruaryGroupSupportEventKindnessCourageConnection_323080/]!  Life can be a whirlwind, and sometimes, a small gesture can leave a lasting impact. This happened to me a few months ago, and it serves as a constant reminder of the power of paying it forward. Today, I want to share one such story.  As a listener, I listened and supported a member who was going through depression. It was so challenging for them that they didn’t feel any hope of overcoming depression. After a month or two, they went inactive, and no updates. I was concerned. After 6 months they came back and they told me how their life changed positively. They have a caring partner and a new job and they feel hopeful again. And, they decided to become a listener to support others.  This experience taught me two valuable lessons: * Random acts of kindness, no matter how small, can have a profound impact. We never know what someone else is going through, and a simple gesture can brighten their day or even change their perspective. This gesture can be as simple as listening and supporting someone, sending a thank you or appreciation message through the PAT form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsCXyPYjQ4dsfLMh2ZzXC4of1lEutJsSasbkzc6JLDq7b8ow/viewform], or anything in between.  * The ripple effect of kindness is real. When we pay it forward, we inspire others to do the same, creating a chain of positivity that spreads far beyond our initial act. This isn't just about me, it is about you too. Think back. Has someone ever shown you unexpected kindness? Did it make a difference? Now imagine the impact of that kindness rippled outward, touching countless lives. Here's your challenge: Share your own story of receiving or giving kindness. Then, choose one small act of kindness to do and pay it forward. You never know how far that ripple of kindness might reach I encourage you to share your own story of receiving or giving kindness. Let's inspire each other to be the change we want to see in the world. Remember, it doesn't have to be grand gestures. A kind word, a helping hand, or even a simple smile can make a difference. @suryansh @Heather225 @fristo
My Band Weekend
by AvyIsKing
Last post
 February 15th
...See more So I had an amazing weekend at my band trip, and i just wanted to post about it ! So Thursday we got to the church and i got to see my friends, it was my one friend, lets call her V's birthday (:. we had a 2 hour drive and me and V and our other friend O all talked the way there. When we got to the hotel, it was HUGE !! We were located on the 15th floor, so we rode the elevator up. I was sharing my hotel room with 3 girls, E,V,O. We got unpacked and hung out. Then we had rehearsal from 6-9:30. Then after rehearsal there was a mandatory jazz performance I wasn't required to go to, so i went back to my room and rested. I ran down all 15 flights of stairs on the way to rehearsal in my boot. The girls i was sitting next to were so so so so nice ! 2 people didn't show up so instead of 23rd chair, i was 21st. We ran through 3 pieces, it was fun ! Then we went back to my directors room and hung out and talked til 11, which was hotel curfew, and we went back into our room, and talked some more, and went to bed at like 2. The next morning, we all had rehearsal at 8:30 am. i got up and showered and headed to rehearsal. E,V, and O were all in the 11-12 red band, i was in 9-10. The one girl i was sitting next to, A, i actually sat in front of her 2 years ago, and she was my friend and we instantly clicked and talked it was amazing. The other girl, K, was so nice, shes a red haired lefty too, we instantly got really really close and were doing silly goofy things and she was the most amazing friend I've made so fast ! We had a lunch break at 11:30, for 2 hours. I went up to  my room, and me and E,V, and O hung out, talked and ate. We went on the balcony and there were these boys down there heeheheheh. they wanted a cookie so we threw one at them. they ate it. we also threw a piece of cheese. we could've gotten kicked out for doing it, but oh well. the boys wanted our room number, and we told them the room that the only boy on our trip was staying in. then we walked around and asked anyone we saw if they wanted a mini oreo. then i had rehearsal from 1:30-4:30. it went awesome. then we went to dinner at a pizza place, it was so yummy, i shared a pizza with V. then we went to an orcestral performance by the local college, and it was awesome, they brought there dancers. Then 2 more hours of rehearsal ahahah. Then we had a another break, and we walked around asking more people about cookies. Then we went back to the room and I got to help my friends with their college homework, it was so much fun i loved it. Then we all went to bed, then yesterday morning i had rehearsal at 8am, til 9. getting ready for my concert. I had some time and bought a t shirt and hung out and got ready, then had dress rehearsal at 12:45, for my concert at 1:30. i got my period like 2 minutes before i went on -w- but it was awesome, I played so well. I will never see K again, shes moving to colorado and doesn't have a phone. that makes our friendship even more special. I rode home with my director and i slept in the car lollll. it was an exhausting weekend and im still recovering but i loved the weekend and i didn't want it to end. there i was happy and i was having fun and i felt special. it was the closest i ever felt to being normal, save fo when im with my boyfriend.  @tinywhisper11 @lovemymoonflowers @fluffysheep8 @darkerplaces
The Broccoli Noodle Soup 🥣 | Stories for Good Life Series
by
Last post
 February 14th
...See more Hiya, Community! How many of you like Broccoli Noodle Soup? Well, this son and father loved it! 😊🍜 At a certain point in time, Broccoli was quite expensive and hard to come by. So whenever they got broccoli the next two or three meals would be broccoli noodle soup. So one time the father and son were having dinner and there were two bowls of soup; one with two pieces of broccoli on top and the other one didn't have any broccoli. And so the father said, “Son, choose which bowl would you like?” And so of course the son said, “Hmmm I want the one with broccoli on top!” And so the son was eating his broccoli noodle soup joyously. Then he looked at his father's bowl and when his father was eating soup, in the bottom of the bowl there were like four or five pieces of broccoli. He said, “Whoa wow!” And then the father looked at the son and he said “Son, don't always rely on what you see, there's always something deeper than what the eyes can see”, and so the son said “Okay..” The next day there was broccoli noodle soup again! The father put both bowls; one bowl had two pieces of broccoli on top, and the other one didn't. So the father said, “Son, choose which bowl of broccoli you want.” So the son said “Mmm I know this trick” and he picked the one without the broccoli on top. And so he was eating and his father ate the bowl with the broccoli on top. So the son was eating, eating, eating, and he waited, waited to get to the bottom because he was like “Oh there must be lots of broccoli there” but there was nothing, there was nothing 😮 And the father looked at the son and said “Son, don't rely on just one experience. Different things can happen at different times; you just never know!” The son said, “Okay, okay..” And then the next evening broccoli noodle soup again! So the father put two bowls of broccoli noodle soup; one with two broccolis on top, the other one without. And he said, “Son, choose your bowl!” And the son said, “No. Father, you choose. You choose whichever one you want and I'm fine with whatever is left.” And so his father chose one bowl and started eating and gave the other bowl to the son. To the son's surprise, when he was eating, he found not one, not two, but five pieces of broccoli in his soup 😍 And he was enjoying it thoroughly. He looked at his father and his father said, “Son, you cannot rely on what you see you must look deeper. You cannot rely on just one experience because different things can happen at different times but you can rely on goodness. Whenever you have a good intention in your heart goodness will always come back to you in some way, in some shape, in some form. Today just happens to be broccoli.” ------------------------- Discussion questions: 1) If you were the son, how would you respond if your father asked you to choose a bowl of soup?  2) Why can’t we rely on what we see? Why can’t we rely on what we experience? 3) Share a moment where goodness actually came back to you. ------------------------- Did you find this story helpful?

Poems

Last post
 November 7th, 2023
...See more I recently learnt how to write poems and have been writing a lot to help put my thoughts into words. I hope you'll enjoy :) ------------------------- Never forget artists choose what they mean, they are the ones who decide how it should be seen, others my try to ensure it deceives, removing the context as freely as they please, but intent is a root that grows from your tree, which creates the paper a canvas for expressing your free ------------------------- In the end I'm sure we'll be fine, its just a matter of finding the rhyme, to allocate enough room for our placement in time, never-forgetting it will never truly bend, what we need is to make it a friend ------------------------- We better ourselves to try and defeat, the fact that we're constantly slipping on feet, sometimes our own but we're fully grown, what does it mean for an adult to be so prone, stuck in neglect to the very test, is the only thing that matters being better then the rest? They all reflect my personal life, journey, and feelings, if you like them I'll definitely post more :)
