Hi, I write poetry about my mental health. Here is one
😊 Blessings Day
-PERCIEVING-
Percieving what we believe in is decieving and has no meaning as life's mistreating dishes out this beating leaving us bleeding
but we cant see it if we close our minds and we cant think about this when we're blind, so walk away and you will find, a freind here waiting for a sign!
So take your time and organise whats on your mind and you'll find you're not really behind, so relax your eyes and realize you're fine just the way you are. And you can reach for the stars, put cream on the scars and healing transpires.
The delusional parts only confuse our goals and corrupt our souls leaving us with a heart full of holes. Set goals now and your mind will see what closed eyes have failed to believe, don't let sight deceive keeping us on our knees; throwing logic into the breeze.
Winds at your back excited, Winds of hope reignited me. Step by step confide so we can share secrets of life thinking "what could be" If we let it, if you hold back you'll regret it.
There, Now I've gone and said it!
We hold ourselves down; Dirty on the ground I've found myself tourmented and bound by invisibility. I've ignorged all possibility, so I must set myself free of a self-inflicted confined mystery that causes so much mind-bending mysery

Hi Mary! This is such a good concept and I love the idea of our lil shr talent show here on 7 cups!
1. How long have you been doing/practicing it?
My talent? :o I don't think I'm really talented but I guess a "hobby" might be debate? I've been doing it for a year so I'm technically still very new to it all, but I really love it a lot! 🥺
2. What's your favorite part of your hobby?
I'm a person who loves politics and it obviously factors into debating a lot. I'm also a person who is terrible at taking sides and holding firm opinions while being able to defend them and I often really struggle with the idea of debating others (outside of the high school setting). Every time I enter a debate round, I'm always really nervous but then I'll just start my timer and it'll all flow through. And *sometimes* I'll make a really good speech, and the feeling afterwards is just immaculate. <3 So yeah, that's definitely a thing that I love about debate, it continually challenges my worst fear and I prove myself wrong everytime (which is good!). I think another love that I've discovered recently is the research part. I love reading through data and studies done and getting excited about how to format them into my speech. And I always feel so powerful when I find a huge amount of evidence for my side hehe.. also I think @hopedreamlove might want to read this so I'll tag her here haha :D
3. Do you think it benefits you at all?
Yes!! Challenging my biggest fear of confrontation/holding and defending beliefs during debate has definitely led me to look and feel confident in my skills and confident in life in general. It's also been great with my personal political beliefs along with also just my public speaking skills + developing good rhetoric!
@TheAtticusFinch
I love debating too! Twins :P Being able to challenge fears is such a good benefit!
@TheAtticusFinch
Hi TheAtticusFinch! I was really interested by your post, because I love politics as well. I'm so interested by government workings and the dynamics of politics; studying current events and getting to learn about political climate is one of my favorite hobbies! I am also a rather indecisive person who has trouble being adamant. I love public speaking, but I'm frequently afraid of disagreement. I find from your post that we share a lot in common: I found that taking part in respectful discussions about current events helped me get over being afraid of people's criticism of me, and it was great to hear different perspectives. It's helped me become a better writer (I love writing and I'm kind of proud that my skill has improved), think more objectively, and understand where I stand on issues. I love activities like the Speech and Debate club I joined last year, the current events discussion group I took part in over this summer, and a class I got accepted into last year to study history/political science. Anyways, I just thought I'd share that I think we like similar things for similar reasons, and I think you have an amazing talent! :)
@InkyOak12
Wow! I can't believe we're so similar with that and you are always welcome to PM me if you ever want to talk more about this but reading that was really liberating for some reason.. it's like someone really gets me 🥺

Hi my hobby of writting has helped me understand and make progress, and it also led to my getting the help i needed. Here is one i wrote called breakdown.
Blessings, Day
Im having a breakdown - too much self reflection led me to detections of rejections and upon a closer inspection I found many other defects, I recolect my introspection is causing to much internal conflicting. It might be my depiction of my situation is an overloading electrocution internalized distribution prolonging my confusion. My fear-based delusion is causing me to contimplate a red profusion from a percise insicion. But it remains my decision and i still maintain my vision of a life im somehow missing, so im just sitting; on my bench is a fitting place for my thoughts to race today. What else is there to say? Should I pray, should i get up, or stay here thinking of all the terrors and trembling caused by fear, for which im well aware will soon disapear.
@24Help1
I know all the words to "Let it Go" from Frozen.

Hi, i think my talent is poetry. I have been writing for nearly a year. My favorite part of it is that i can easily share pieces of myself with others. And yes, i think i have benefited from it. I use poetry to cope with things from anxiety to losing a friend. I also think it explains exactly how i feel when it is being written. So when i am older, i will see not only how much my poetry improved, but my mental health also.
