Username Stories!🌞
by Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Last post
1 day ago
...See more Hiya everyone, I hope this new month brings each one of us lots of peace and joy!💖 Okie I'll try not to blabber too much and come straight to the point! xD  Soooo, we know that when we sign up on 7 cups, we are assigned an auto-generated username because anonymity first hehe.  And of course, we can change our username from our settings page, for upto first 2 weeks and then after filling a form and providing a valid reason. Which is how there's so many people here who have come up with almost random looking words from the English language, that when put together bring us a spectacular "username", which is often synonymous to their personality, and of course, a major part of our identity here at 7 cups.  Purely an observation, and of course, it could've been deeply impacted by the "roles" each account plays here, "listeners" on here to listen to people, support and be an encouraging presence reigniting hope for those that need it, have a more "upbeat" sorta username, usually. (Usually being the keyword) On the other hand, I notice some "member" account usernames that aren't as "upbeat" sounding, which also makes complete sense because on our member account, we are likely more vulnerable and embracing of the not-so-happy-and-okay-us too. (Again, usually being the keyword, and a personal observation entirely) Indeed, there's extremes but then there's also a broad spectrum, and we are all spread out on it embracing our unique-ness and authenticity, describing it as how we see it and are comfortable with. 🌞 I love coming across different usernames that attempt to personate the person behind the screen in one or more ways, whatever way it speaks to *them*. To each their own, always! However, yes it makes me wonder how our usernames shape up our identity here, how we see ourselves and also for others and how we'd like them to see us too. A username speaks a lot about the person, I feel, the more-thought-out ones, specially. Ones with some context and with a backstory! (I tried xD but fortunately, I am me and I'll complete the entire story even after saying "long story short"~ ooh and sometimes even with sub-plots and individual character-development arcs 🤣) Alrighty, now some questions to get your brain-juices flowing-  🌞 What does your username mean? Is there a backstory, you'd like to share? 🌞 If you had an alternate username or could change your username to something else more inclined towards the *current you*, what would you keep it as? Why? 🌞 What's the most captivating username you've come across here? (Yes please, you can tag them by putting an "@" sign before their name) What do you like about it? 🌞 A Gift for youuu: Tag 3 of your peers here and share an alternate username for them, that you feel fits them most. (Needless to say, but we practice extra caution lol, sooo, ~ Appropriate Language Only, *please*) Brownie points if you can be a little descriptive and share "why" do you feel it fits them. I'd love to hear from everyone coming across this.💖

♡ !Bucket List! ♡
by Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Last post
October 6th
...See more Hello amazing people of 7 cupsland ( not gonna lie, I actually wonder, how beautiful would such a place be ) , I hope y'all are doing well and staying safe! ❤ Did someone else have a similar reaction to 2022? "What? New Year Already!? Was still processing 2019 smh.😮" As much welcoming, I am with the new year, I sure did have this reaction lol! Time is flying ✈ Oooh but Happy New Year, everyone! 🌻 I feel, during such randomly hitting thoughts, I really do try and think, about future, what I'd like to do, what I'd like more of, what is something I need to let go of, so on and so forth. Then comes this fun thought of having a "bucket list" - a list of things that someone would like to do or achieve, in their lifetime. I understand the idea of creating a bucket list might not appeal to everyone, and that's okay! From how I see it, these are somethings that help one look forward to not just exist, but to *live*! How beautiful it is to want and *look forward* to catch another Sunrise, just something worth keeping a hope alive for! Having said that, bucket lists are different for different people, because of the simple fact, that we are are all different and unique and have different choices and desires! For someone, the top most could be to travel around the globe, and for another it could be to spend time with a loved one, under the night sky or to have their own pet someday! It really is super simple, just a list of things, you'd like to do, have, achieve or experience in life! So are we ready to make one here? I am really looking forward to see y'alls bucket lists! Share away, if you have one already, or take this cue, and make one right here! ❤ I'll share mine xD not exhaustive xD hehe, just things I can think of at the moment! ♡ Experience the Northern Lights ♡ I have something in my mind already, using that, I want to make my loved ones, feel *on top of the world*. ♡ Feel at utmost peace and content in life ♡ Attend a live music concert ♡ Bake pizza :p Now now, whatcha waiting for? Can't Wait To See Yours! ❤ Tagging some lovelies, @sia1325, @GoldenRuleJG @Angelx28, @LoveToGod, @Varyingcloud, @Chevy81, @Verseart , @Feelicity08, @CallMeNaman2002, @TinyDream Don't hesitate to share yours, and then feel free to tag more people to join our bucket full of lists. ( y'all see what I did there, right! 😈 ) 🤗 ------------------------- Sharing a very cool list of ideas, for anyone needing some inspiration, Click Me, I am a safe link to a list full of amazing ideas 🥰 [https://trulyexperiences.com/blog/bucket-list-ideas/]

...See more "The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts." - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book 5:16 ------------------------- Welcome back, and today we got a very cool line which can be considered as me going "whoa! That's cool". Just like a painter chooses colors for a masterpiece, we can choose our thoughts to create a vibrant, fulfilling life. When we focus on positivity and growth, we nurture our minds and souls, paving the way for a brighter outlook. So, let’s paint our thoughts with hues of hope and empowerment! ------------------------- First sorry for the delay and second here's new snippet! Those who are new, welcome and if you think why this random quote fiesta well, here's an explanation [https://www.7cups.com/forum/motivation/InspirationandMotivation_2229/DailyMeditationsbyMarcusAurelius1_336307/].  ------------------------- tagging some who might enjoy this quote and share their thoughts: @MelodyoftheOcean @Hope @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @SparkyGizmo @DanCat1128

...See more ❤✨ "Don't let the darkness around make you dim your light to fit. You were born to stand out, you were born to shine. You never have to change yourself to fit yourself within the darkness of the world around. Let them do the adjusting this time, let them be accommodating, let them learn how to be accepting. Perhaps your light is what the world needs more of as well. Perhaps it'll allow the darkness to see that "light" isn't uncomfortable, light isn't scary; light can be warm and safe, one just has to try and embrace it. If the world can~ it lights up and shines with you. If it doesn't, that's on the world, and not you. Continue shining on, you bright being!" ✨❤

Your Virtual Comfort Corner❤

...See more .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° Hey hey lovely people coming across, I hope y'all are doing well. 💛 I will try not to do a whole lot of talking today lol xD let's see how nicely I fail! :') [#self-awareness😆] Alrighty, as the name suggests, I wanted to create a comfort corner (it's a "corner" with enough room) for everyone here. 🥰 Something like a virtual grocery store, except that you're looking around for comforting things. 7 cups is already one big comfy space for all of us here and there is so much for everyone to do and seek comfort in. There is Personal Chats [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] to seek support 1-1, there are Group Chatrooms [https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php] to connect with and share and seek support from multiple people in real time, the many Sub-Communities [https://www.7cups.com/home/] (forums) that have something for everyone~ check ins, ice breakers, welcoming space, fun corner to meet/ greet/ get to know peers, topic focused forums to share, talk, connect with other people, resources and what not. Speaking of resources, we have the Mindfulness Exercises [https://www.7cups.com/exercises/mindfulness/?showlist=1], so many topic focused Growth Paths [https://www.7cups.com/path/modifier/] as well as Self-help guides [https://www.7cups.com/supportGuides/selfHelpGuides.php] at our disposal. Did I miss anything? Let me know! 😮💛 However, I'm listing a couple of things/ ideas available for us, that go beyond any trainings and paths. Feel free to share more ways you can think of, to comfort one other "virtually". 💛 .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 Virtual Hugs You need a hug? You get a hug. Just let us know! We've separate forum threads for it, Here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/ThoughtsIdeasIcebreakersandFun_744/NeedaHugFREEHUGS_17773/] and Here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/CommunityActivitiesEvents_1908/HugsCalling_251933/] also. .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 Virtual High-Fives/ Head Pats/ Back-Pats Maybe hugs aren't your thing and that's okay, would you like any of the above? We gotchu with any and all of them. .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 A Quote Quotes are powerful, I feel, they are a proof that someone has been in our shoes, has experienced what we did, felt how we do and expressed how they wanted to. Quotes can be validating, uplifting, encouraging, motivating, "I see you"~ anything you want them to be. Need some quote to cheer you up? Ask here! Or Read them here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/PositivityGratitude_170/InspirationMotivation_2229/UpliftingquotesInspiringThoughts_402/]. .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 A Movie/ Series/ Music recommendation Music is a universal language, they say. Movies and Series are a great way to spend our leisure time, something to keep us company~ some of these become our go-to comforting escapes. Perhaps someone has a good recommendation for you. Or you have for us? Share them. Tip: it's okay for everyone to have a different taste. For those seeking recommendations, you can share your preferred genres, any triggers to steer away from etc, for a more personalised recommendation from your peers. .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 A Reminder/ Encouragement We can all use some encouragement and reminders in life. Want some? Get many! Tip: do you have an upcoming exam, interview or any important event in life and need some wishes? Share with us and we'll cheer you. Would you like to be reminded that you're amazing the way you are? Tell us and we'll remind you as often you need. .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 A Cool Fact Did you know that Sea otters hold hands when they sleep to keep from drifting apart? 😮 I think it's super wholesome. Know some more amazing facts? Share with us. Want an amazing fact? Ask here! .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 A Joke/ Meme/ Funny video recommendation Laughter is therapeutic they say and humor is a known coping mechanism to many of us. Sure there's some low feeling, but that doesn't mean we cannot laugh/ smile at something~ trying counts, aye? Would you like to hear a joke/ see a meme/ get a funny video recommendation? Poke here! Tip: I understand everyone may find different things humorous, and that's okay, but we'd still be mindful in our sharing that this is an emotional support platform, and be sure to follow the guidelines [https://www.7cups.com/community-guidelines/] while posting anything. (Or a forum moderator will nom the joke and enjoy a funny tummy 😛 ~ but we don't want that sort of trouble, right?!) .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 A Space to *be* Sometimes when nothing else works to comfort us the way we need it, it is okay to not fuss about it and simply *be*. Feeling alone and need some virtual company? Take your bean bag and be here. That's all. We can be here together. <3 .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° 💛 Something else you might find comforting currently, that the community (you, me, everyone here) can offer. Do let us know please, and we'd like to try our best for each other. .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○° Alrighty get set go. Two easy ways to make use of this thread. ❤ If you are seeking some virtual comfort, you can share what might help you feel better. ❤ I'd like to think of this as a "passive" way of seeking comfort. When we hug someone, they hug us back~ we recieve a hug too, which is nice and comforting. Sooo, if you're here, please join us in the comfort corner, and feel free to share anything comforting for your peers. You can reply to posts with what they need (a quote/ hug etc.) Or share something for someone you'd like to comfort and tag them here (example @XyzLovelyBeing a high five) Or something for everyone (example: *hugs for everyone*) 💛 In case, anyone is interested and able to. You can share any of your digital art work, some poem/ write-up, handwritten notes, any pictures/ gifs from the internet ~ any art you like that conveys compassion creatively. We are here for it! .・○°。.・゜✭・..・。.・゜✭・.・。.☆(❁‿❁)☆・..・。.・゜✭・.•○°
