The Grove of a Spruce Tree 🌲
Hello! You can call me Spruce. I just discovered this interesting diary entry section of 7 Cups, and this is something I’ve been looking for. I need a place where I can spill out all of my thoughts without criticism, and that’s not something I can really rely on through 1:1 chats (even though I haven’t been here for that long, it’s my upfront impression).
I would prefer to keep this as a space for myself, but if anyone would like to send supportive comments for my post, just dive right in! I don’t mind at all 😊
So for anyone who may be reading this, there may be some rough topics such as family stress, severe self-hate, and some pretty graphic flashbacks (but not too graphic). I will try my best not to make this an inappropriate space, but I just wanted to give a heads up just it case it starts getting to that point.
Donuts are in full supply at all times, so feel free to grab a snack when you travel by 😊 And feel free to greet me when you’re here - I absolutely love meeting new people, and I want to build my support group here on 7 Cups ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515
Spucie where have you poofed to
I miss you my friend a great deal 🥺
@tidyHickory3283
Koryyyyyyyyy 🥺 *hugs super tight* Spruca missed you too, omg :') It's so good to see youuuu ❤️❤️
Spruca needed to focus on their offline life for a while, and won't really be too active on here until the end of August. However, they will be here occasionally, and whenever time allows. Spruca doesn't have a lot of words right now, but they missed Kory so much, and seeing that she passed through Spruca's grove- that warms their heart beyond words 🥺 ❤️❤️❤️ *more hugs for you* 💖
How has Kory been? 🤗 ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515
Spucieeee *hugs super super tight* ❤️
aww ok Spucie I understand, I am so glad I passed through your grove ❤️❤️ *huggggggggsssssss* ❤️
Kory has been okish Spucie. She has exams approaching so she is a little scared but if exams are removed then she is doing good 😃
How has Spucie been? ❤️
aaaaaannnnnnddddd Take Care Stay Safe Spucie 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
@tidyHickory3283
Yussssssssss *infinite hugs for ya* 😛
Aww, exams are coming up for me too, so I totally get the feeling :') *sends positive vibes* But I believe in ya! Take some deep breaths, and do the best you can- I know you'll work your absolute hardest, and it will pay off 💖💖 I'm so glad to hear that you're doing good otherwise though, and that warms my heart 🤗 ❤️
😀 Sprucie has been on such an emotional roller coaster this past month, but right now, I'm actually feeling great! 🤗
I send you the very best, Koryyyyyyyyy 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖💖
@selflessSpruce1515
yayyyyy *infinite hugs for you too* 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
*recieves positive vibes* *sends positive vibes too*
Good Luck Spucie and thanks 💓💓💓💓💓💓
awwww Spucie Kory can understand she also went through a emotional roller coaster and it's great that Spucie is doing great now 😃😃😃😃😃
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
@tidyHickory3283
Tankuuuuuu so much 🤗 💖
And gotta take each day as it goes, right? We got thissssssss 💗💗💗💗 Soon enough, our exams will be over, and we'll be able to take that breath of relief, knowing we did the best we could 💖 Then we can have a dance party, and not have to worry about stressful exams for a while 😌✨
Unfortunately, by the time I finish with exams, the next school year will start up again :') Buuuuut, it'll still be an accomplishment 🥳 I mean, I love school and usually have a positive view on exams- but I'm taking them in the summer, when it should be my break 😀 Doesn't really make me happy, but gotta do what I gotta do :') It'll be okay though, because I'll have like a week or two to relax before school starts up again- that'll be enough for me 🤗
Hopefully when exams end for you, you can get a bit of a break as well ❤️❤️❤️ You deserve it, my dear friendsieeeeee 💖💖💖
*dances randomly in spruce’s *cough* apricot *cough* corner. Love ya apricot! 😀
@emotionalTalker2260
*dances with the amazing Emosaurus (dancing randomly is the best and only kind of dancing I can muster up, lmaooooo 😭)*
Love ya toooooooo, Emosaurus Rex 😀 ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515
🤡 you tagged me lol. I wanna tag a few friends of mine too!
@VaryingCloud @Minervaaa @GoldenNest2727 @GloriaD @HopieRemi @Robnni @DonaldDraper @Fristo @WarmLightXO *eats glitter* 👀 @Harsvin @Chevy81 @Iamsidhere
@emotionalTalker2260
My dear, I already tagged Donny Don 🤡
*Ha*, so we're even 😀 ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515
🤫🤫🤫 I’m secretly blind. I didn’t see don. Looks like we really need don to come now xD
@selflessSpruce1515 Someone mentioned cookies? Such a magical word - cookies. Of course we'll need milk and straws to blow bubbles 😉
@mytwistedsoul
Yessssss, Soul 😛 *passes cookies, milk, and oh so many straws* xD xD Let's get blowing, lmaoooo 😌✨
♥️ @selflessSpruce1515 @emotionaltalker2260 ♥️
Yayy dance party and cookieeeees! *joinssss* 🥳
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
whooohooooo *dances* 😛
😮 Woahhhhh! We made it to 1,000 (now 1,002 😛) posts in this thread 😌 Impressiveeeeee 🤗
Tanku all for making this grove such a comfy and wonderful place 💖💖💖 It's time to celebrate this amazing achievement 😛
I decided to go with a different-flavored cake- Strawberry Sponge cakeeeeee 😋 (my third favorite cake, right after blueberry cheesecake and icecream cake respectively 💖)
*passes cake* Enjoyyyyyy 🤗 💖
I already tagged y'all enough for one day, so whoever comes around, feel free to get some cake 😛 ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515
That's a very yummy cake. *eats a slice* 😋
@selflessSpruce1515 Hey congratulations! It's pretty cool to see the pages grow 😃
Oh! Strawberries! 🤤 I love strawberries! You're awesome Spruce! ❤️ Gracias! 😊
@mytwistedsoul
Omg, Soul 😭 *hugs* Finallyyyyy, I've found another strawberry lover 🤗 There are a lot of people who dislike strawberries, and that confuses me so much :') But yayyyyyy 😌 💖 And es un placer (it's my pleasure ❤️) Disfruta del pastel, todossssss 😌 (Enjoy the cake, everyone 💖)
You have unlocked the Spanish hooman bean within me, look at that xD
@selflessSpruce1515 *big hug* ❤️ what's wrong with people that they don't like strawberries? My Spanish is hit or miss. I can swear *of course* lol and tell the story of the little red hen 😁
@mytwistedsoul
I know right, smh :') They just have strange taste buds, I guess, lmaoooo xD
And omg, that's literally the first thing that a lot of people do when they first learn a language- they search up all the swear words 😭😭😭
And I've actually never heard of that story 😮 But I am very impressed that you can recite it in Spanish 💖
I've been learning Spanish for around 5 years now, so I can converse fairly well in the language (enough to survive in Mexico or Spain for a while, hehe 😛) ❤️ I've never really read any stories in the language though, and I was thinking of doing that so I can expand my vocabulary 😮 Thank you for the inspiration 😌✨
@selflessSpruce1515 I can also ask for beer, lemonade and the restroom 😁 but for some reason La pequeña gallina roja stuck with me. I couldn't write any of it out but I can tell it lol
Aww that's great! That's a good idea to read stories to help with your vocabulary. Just like Hermione! ❤️
@mytwistedsoul
Ah, cerveza, limonada, y el baño 😌 I think you'll be able to survive in a Spanish-speaking country too then 😀😭
Do you want to know such a fun word in Spanish? Relámpago, which means lightening 😛 I don't like relámpago en el mundo natural - tengo mieda de ese (rough translation: lightening in the natural world - I am scared of it), but it's just too fun to sayyyyy xD
And yes, that's what Hermione and I have in common- we're obsesseddddd with books 😌 💖
@mytwistedsoul
For a moment there, you actually turned on my Spanish brain, and I proceeded on saying the rest of the sentence in Spanish, oh goshness xD Then I realized, and decided to just translate it for fun 😛
@selflessSpruce1515 Well I wouldn't die of thirst or embarrassment from wet pants anyway lmao 😂
I think it's awesome tbh - that quest for knowledge and there's worse things you could be obsessed with. Books are a good thing ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515
*noms cake and Spruceyyy* couldn't decide what's sweeeeeeter! 😜
Thankieees, Spruceyyy! We've come so far! Yayyy! 🤗❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Oh goshness, I have been nommed 😔✨ *is nommed along with the cake* 😀
Yussssss we have 😌 It's a call for celebration 🤗 ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515 💖🤗💖🤗💖

@emotionalTalker2260
Aww *more hugs for youuu* I know your trying to be okie, and I'm proud of you 🤗 ❤️ Of course, as always, I've been peeking into your corners (it's what I do 😛), and even though most of the time, I wasn't in the greatest headspace to respond to them, I heard you and I was telepathically sending you so much strength, love, and hope (if only I actually had telepathic abilities xD) 💖 I know it hasn't been easy these past few weeks, but you were doing what you can to hold on and stay strong (even if you didn't see it ❤️), and I admire your spirit beyond words, my dear 🤗 💖
Spruca is doing okie for right now ❤️ They literally had a dance party in front of the mirror 5 minutes ago, so they're feeling pretty good after that 😌✨ Otherwise, it's been an emotional rollercoaster- but they're getting through it 🤗 ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515
we both emotional 😮 yesterday I should’ve had a disco, because i was panicking xD
@emotionalTalker2260 I allmost choked on my drink when I read this 😂
Smh @mytwistedsoul no chocking on drinks 😮 we want you around smh
@emotionalTalker2260
Yes, we are such emotional hooman beans 😀 Makes sense why you were my first cups friendsie, lmaooooo xD
And it's never too late to have a disco, my dear 😌 *dances* 😛
Hello, everyone! I am making this post in anticipation of @TheRandomEMT aging up on July 1st. Random is such a close friendsie of mine, and I thought of saying a few words, those of which I hope will resonate with them as they transition to the oldie side of cups. 💖
Randommmmm 🤗 Omg, has it only been a little over a month since we met each other for the first time?! It felt like we were friendsies foreverrrrrr. 😮 ❤️❤️ I remember that from the first day we met, you have demonstrated a level of resiliency and empathy that is sooooooooo rare, yet precious. At the time, you were going through a very challenging time, and your spirits were not very high then.
But then we met, and everything started going uphill from there. You were initially such an overly modest hooman bean, let me tell you– I could sense that you did not believe a single compliment I told you, lmaoooo xD But now, wowww, how much self-confidence you gained during your time here ❤️❤️❤️ And I have seen how you supported others in the group chats, and I am beyond proud of you. You have come so far in such a short time, and I couldn't be more impressed!
You are such a precious soul with such a huge heart, and you have touched the hearts of many here on the teenie side of cups. 💖 I will never forget how you were there for me during the very few low points I experienced– even if you don't quite remember it, I do 💖 I never ever everrrrrrrr let any of those kinds of memories slip from my grasp, because it was so special 🤗 ❤️❤️❤️
And oh, your knowledge doesn't have it's bounds, hehe xD You shared a ton about your life as an EMT, and how much passion you have for your line of work– goshness, it's amazingggggg ❤️❤️❤️ And my dear friendsie, you better have won the fight with that manual stretcher 😀 ❤️ It sounds like it was quite the beast to tame, lmaoooooooo 😭 I'm sure you were able to, with all of that strength within you ❤️❤️
Speaking of this, hearing that you were cleared to go back to work after such a challenging time in the hospital– that warmed my heart beyond wordssssssss 🤗 💖💖💖 I know that you weren't feeling the best when you were getting back into the swing of things, but I believe in you, my dear– do the best you can, and I know that you can overcome these challenges toooooooo 💖💖💖💖
Here are some words of wisdom I would like to share with you: In life, you will encounter many obstacles, those of which seem insurmountable in every degree. But I see how much courage you have in your heart, and you will never be alone in these challenges– we will be here for you, not only in presence but in thought too ❤️❤️❤️ Take some deep breaths, and some small steps, because no matter what challenges you will face from this point on, you have the power to control your destiny and to live the life that *you* want to lead. 🤗 💖
I wish you the very best in your life beyond the realm of the teenie land ❤️❤️❤️ The oldies will be so lucky to have you, because of your character and spirit 🤗 💖💖💖
And if you ever need anything, we teenies will be here for you in the forums 😌 Feel free to drop a post in my grove anytime, because my grove is your grove 😛
With tons of hugsssssssss,
~ Spruca 🌲
@selflessSpruce1515
😮 i will greet! *waves to @TheRandomEMT* hiiiiiiiiii, i am one of the wonderful residents of the oldies side, i aged up this year as well! You will most likely see me around 😮 I am also Sprucie’s first cups friend! That sneaky friend of mine kindly snuck into both of my corners in their first day on cups! Anyways, any friend of my friend is also my friend! 😀
@emotionalTalker2260
(Of course, you had to expose meeeeee 🙈 💖 *hugsssss* Love ya, and thank you for sending such a sweet message to Random 💖💖)
@TheRandomEMT
This reminded me to mention– There are so many wonderful and super sweet hooman beans on the oldie side, including the one and only Emosaurussssss 🤗 ❤️ Having so many compassionate hooman beans on the oldie side will hopefully help to make the transition so much smoother ❤️❤️❤️
@selflessSpruce1515 This was really thoughtful of you to introduce your friend ❤️
*waves* Hey @TheRandomEMT Happy early birthday and welcome 🙂 we have all the cookies on this side since @emotionalTalker2260 joined us lol
@mytwistedsoul
