Fristo✨ : Star, how’s been your cups journey from the start up till today?✨

Star🌻: To be honest with you, 7 cups has been a part of my life on and off since 2016. That was when I first joined here as a member and to seek help! Back then we had guest accounts and such, and the browse listeners page on the app would look like a directory! There were many instances where 7 cups and its listeners have helped me get through things. Life went by, but in the year 2020, I strongly considered becoming a listener during another somewhat hard phase in my life where I felt really lost and everything seemed so vague. I feel like showing light to other people helped me find the same clarity in myself. Being strong for others helped me be strong for myself :) That is how I made a humble beginning. Got verified soon after, but I had no idea I would be a leader on here one day. My journey on 7 cups has been surprising, eventful, and full of learning and growth in the best of ways. I have been able to create positive relationships to peers, members and fellow leaders which I cherish truly. I think I could stand here today and be so grateful for how far I could come by with the help of our entire community.

Fristo🌻: What are some of the takeaways for you from your time at cups so far?💙

Star✨: Great question! From the starting of my journey as a listener, I feel like I could see the happiness and relief that members had from just having someone be there for them. I learned the importance of emotional support, and how important mental health is for everybody. Only if we all had someone to talk to, someone to be with and that is what 7 cups provides to all of us for free. I feel also like everybody has something to teach you. Through my journey on 7 cups, I have strongly looked up to other people and learned from them. Some of them perhaps do not even know that they taught me so much. That is how it is with our community… if you take a look around, you will find everybody is so unique and beautiful, and we all share one thing in common, which is care for each other :) Another major takeaway is that help is available and knowledge is available, so one should not feel inhibited or hesitant. Knowledge is power, and it would be a pity if one felt shy, or scared enough to not reach for what they deserve. These three takeaways are pillars in my listening journey.

Fristo🌻 : How does your presence at cups reflect in your off-cups presence, and vice-versa?

Star🌟: 7 cups gave me a sense of community. Whether be it you feel alone, or not or stuck in life and going through something - you are not really alone and you are not helpless. You will be okay and everyone is with you. 7 cups also helped me refine my leadership qualities in the sense that I grew more into myself, and it feels like I am not only able to give back to the community but also grow so much myself. I am grateful for the trust and belief that everyone has on me, it has had a positive impact on my resilience and my want to constantly keep going and reach my goals no matter what.

Fristo💙 : What activity/role interests you the most in the cups community?☀️

Star❤️: Oof tough question. I feel like I have chosen the set of roles that I have at present for a reason. It is because each of those roles fulfill me a lot when I am performing them. It feels natural, and it feels like I am doing what I am meant to do. I am really happy and satisfied where I am at this point and I would not feel like me if I am to choose one role over another.

I do have a favorite role though, it is because that role means something to me and it does stand out a bit more than others. It is Quality Mentor. That was my very first role on here, and the very beginning of my journey as a leader. I remember exploring the mentor page where there was an option to “become a leader”. I seemed to fulfill all the requirements for becoming a quality mentor, but I just completely lacked belief in myself. I was like…. this can’t be for me! Fun fact, I erased the entire application form after filling it out because I didn’t think I would get in. Thankfully, I filled it out again and submitted. I was reached like within a week and the role was mine. (Talk about believing in favorites 😛)

Fristo💙 : What’s the purpose of your life, and how far have you come in fulfilling that purpose?✨

Star🌻: My purpose in life is to guide others and show light to others who are in the dark. I have had to figure out a lot of things on my own and these knowledge and experiences that I have gained first hand can be extremely helpful to those that really need it. I am also very compassionate towards those unprivileged. If anything I hope I can show to others that it is possible to reach your goals and dreams, and tough times in life will never truly break you.

Fristo🤎 : What do you want to be remembered for?😄

Star☀️ : I do not have entitlement towards being remembered, but if my acts and actions allow for it then it will as a natural outcome. If I can be strong, educated and empowered then it is possible for everyone else as well. That is what I stand for. If I could create a positive impact by any means, then that is what I would like to be remembered by. Thanks Fristo for interviewing me, as you made me reflect on a lot about myself as I answered you!
