A little bit about me!

Hi there!

If you didn't know already, I am the new community mentor of the Relationship and Friendship Support sub-community. I thought it would be nice to share a little bit about my story, regarding the subject of this community and why it means so much to me.

7cups has honestly changed my life for the better. I've dealt with many broken friendships and bad breakups. I've been lied to, blindsided, cheated on, etc. So, being apart of this amazing sub-community is very important to me. Just recently, my two closest friends that I had all through elementary and high school, ended the friendship because they didn't support my relationship and didn't believe high school sweethearts could work. I was devastated and I felt like I had lost everything, but thank goodness for my now fiance for being there for me. I've had so many people tell me that I'm not "worth it" and "life would be better without me in it". I've been told I'm "too mature for my age" and "everyone will finally praise the lord once my fiance realizes he's better without me". I've gone down some pretty bad spirals and been at my lowest point but, after all of that, I found myself and came back stronger than ever. I developed thick skin and I found the love of my life. The reason I am even saying any of this is because I want you to know that it gets better and somethings do happen for the best.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to all the amazing listeners on 7cups. They are amazing and I am so blessed to be part of this warm-hearted community. You are not alone.

I hope you enjoyed hearing a bit about my experiences and sharing why 7cups is the place to come to chat. If you feel comfortable with sharing, please do share if you've had one of the same situations happen to you or anyone doubting you.
