šø HeatherM:
What is your self-care routine?
Bunnylovesyou:
My self-care routine is a tad abnormal Iād say. I used to enjoy going on a run, but because of medical reasons, Iām unable to do so for the time being. Right now, my self-care routine consists of alot of hair-care. Iām borderline obsessed with my hair. Whether that means washing and styling, just brushing it, or sometimes I get a little manic and boom we have a hair cut. I also love to lay in bed or in the sun, and read. Reading has always been my safe space and it helps charge my mental and physical battery. Recently, instead of reading, Iāve been watching the 2009 drama Glee. I could fill countless pages about the books Iāve read, or just about Glee but honestly, self-care doesnāt need to be typical. It doesnāt need to be a hot shower and a face mask. It can be whatever is best for YOU. If playing basketball makes you feel better, do it. If laying in bed watching soapy dramas about kids or reading terrifying horror novels make you feel better, do it.Ā

What is one quote you live by?
Bunnylovesyou:
This one is actually quite funny. I have an entire wall of quotes in my room. I have atleast 40 quotes and I have about 30-40 still to add. A lot of them describe my journey as a human being, but only a few are ones I live by, if that makes any sense. Some are there to remind me of times, or just certain moments, although these few sum up my entire life. āYou canāt take my past, you canāt take my history. Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keepingā - The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes, Susanne Collins. When ever I get real sad or upset (I know Iām a listener but I do feel bad feelings xD) I look at this quote and remind myself, what was stolen? I didnāt want it anyway. The other one would have to be āIām not telling you itās going to be easy, Iām telling you itās going to be worth it.ā - Rick Riordan, it comes from a Percy Jackson novel, although I am unsure which one. This one speaks for itself. The question was one quote and here I am rambling about 2 quotes, oops.
šø HeatherM:
What is your favorite role that you hold on 7Cups?
Bunnylovesyou:
This one was very hard, seeing as I have a lot of roles, but then I realized, itās simple. I might love modding, or being a Smile Spreader or taking Peer Support chats, but what role made all that possible. My favorite role is being a Listener. It might not count as a role, but I didnāt join 7cups as a Listener, and I have taken alot of training for it. For me, hosting chats or having fun in rooms, posting peer appreciation forms and getting to see peopleās smile, or helping a listener after a hard chat, will never be as rewarding as when a member tells me that I gave them hope. They donāt know me, weāve never talked before, and yet I was able to help them see some joy in their life. THAT is the most rewarding thing about being on 7cups, about being a listener. They donāt see me as the broken person I often feel like, but instead I am able to do for them what people didnāt do for me. It is the most rewarding thing I have ever done, and I dont ever plan on stopping.Ā
šø HeatherM:
Why did you decide to join 7Cups as a listener?
Bunnylovesyou:
I joined 7cups in June 2022, on the member side, since I was 14. I ended up having a life-changing chat with a listener, and all she did was listen to me. When I turned 15, I decided I wanted to do that. I wanted to give back as much as possible to 7cups, because 7cups gave me my life back. It was not an easy road, and it still isnāt but I am not alone. And the fact that I, just this simple person who has absolutely no clue what is going on in life, can help people so simply, is amazing. I created my Listener account on March 21, 2023. I turned 15 on March 20, 2023, and the only reason it took an entire day was because I had an issue with the social media request. I became a mod as soon as possible and I am just trying to do as much as humanly possible to do better for the world. I have to give back some how.
šø HeatherM:
What is one piece of advice you have for a new listener?
Bunnylovesyou:
Simple : Donāt over-think it. Whatever you are doing, it is perfect and just enough. As long as you are following the guidelines, donāt worry. Members know we are people, itās okay to make a spelling mistake, itās okay to not take 72 chats right away. And you are allowed to not help everyone. I canāt say the amount of times Iāve seen new listeners upset that they had to refer a member or the member didnāt feel helped. I was one of them too. But itās okay. You arenāt perfect, there are people that you arenāt able to help. It doesnāt mean you are a failure. It means you are human.Ā
