šŸŒø HeatherM:


What is your self-care routine?



Bunnylovesyou:


My self-care routine is a tad abnormal Iā€™d say. I used to enjoy going on a run, but because of medical reasons, Iā€™m unable to do so for the time being. Right now, my self-care routine consists of alot of hair-care. Iā€™m 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, Iā€™ve been watching the 2009 drama Glee. I could fill countless pages about the books Iā€™ve read, or just about Glee but honestly, self-care doesnā€™t need to be typical. It doesnā€™t 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 




šŸŒø HeatherM:


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. ā€˜You canā€™t take my past, you canā€™t 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 Iā€™m a listener but I do feel bad feelings xD) I look at this quote and remind myself, what was stolen? I didnā€™t want it anyway. The other one would have to be ā€˜Iā€™m not telling you itā€™s going to be easy, Iā€™m telling you itā€™s 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.




šŸŒø 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, itā€™s 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 didnā€™t 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 peopleā€™s 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 donā€™t know me, weā€™ve 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 donā€™t see me as the broken person I often feel like, but instead I am able to do for them what people didnā€™t do for me. It is the most rewarding thing I have ever done, and I dont ever plan on stopping.Ā 





šŸŒø 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 isnā€™t 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.





šŸŒø HeatherM:


What is one piece of advice you have for a new listener?



Bunnylovesyou:


Simple : Donā€™t over-think it. Whatever you are doing, it is perfect and just enough. As long as you are following the guidelines, donā€™t worry. Members know we are people, itā€™s okay to make a spelling mistake, itā€™s okay to not take 72 chats right away. And you are allowed to not help everyone. I canā€™t say the amount of times Iā€™ve seen new listeners upset that they had to refer a member or the member didnā€™t feel helped. I was one of them too. But itā€™s okay. You arenā€™t perfect, there are people that you arenā€™t able to help. It doesnā€™t mean you are a failure. It means you are human.Ā

@BunnyLovesYou

Ooof you do so much for the community, Bunny, you've given back quite a lot already it seems ahah, and I'm so glad it makes you feel purposeful and content, in being a listener and leader at 7 cups. Thank youu for taking the time to allow us to get to know you more via this awesome interview, full of valuable insight, lovely quotes and a ton of caring reminders. You are an amazing Smile Spreader and I hope you have people on and off cups too, to remind you of the massive difference you make by simply being your beautiful-self.šŸ’—

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou i do so much because without 7cups, i don't have much of a purpose. It's taught me how to grow and build support for myself.Ā 

Also yes I do have loads of roles hehe, I should be getting a new one soon !

@Bunnylovesyou

Aw kind hearted, determined and passionate people can do lots of things they want to do, the "purpose" often lies in one's intent and living. You're here and you've got beautiful intentions for the world, you're already serving a purpose greater than any role(s) ever can, I feel.

Good wishes for the new one as well.Ā
