🌟 Goodbye Newbie Badge 🌟
Hey everyone! 🎉
It's been an incredible 31 days on 7 Cups, and I’m officially saying goodbye to my newbie badge today. 🎓 It feels like just yesterday I was taking my first steps here, and now, here I am, a little wiser, a little stronger, and definitely a lot more inspired!
I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to some amazing souls who’ve supported me along the way. And of course, it would be unwise if a place which supports gratitude and positive to not have such post so here, I go.
A special thank you to @SparkyGizmo for always being there and guiding me when I felt lost. You’ve been an incredible friend and my twinning pro, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to show me the ropes. 🙌
A heartfelt thanks to @Mya000, who showed me around when I first got here. From my first chat support to my mentor, you made those early days feel so much less overwhelming and truly helped me find my way. Your patience and friendliness meant the world to me! 🌿
A very special thank you to @FeatherWave, the person who introduced me to 7 Cups in the first place. Without you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be part of this amazing journey. Your belief in me made all of this possible. 🌈
To @Selaviexx for just being amazing friend and giving me new nickname lol and @hopefulDew435 and @hopefulmoon5845 for my banter partners in LSR.
To @DanCat1128, who took the time to share knowledge and tips, helping me become a better listener every day. Your kindness has truly made an impact. 💫
I’m incredibly grateful to @Rebekah for warmly welcoming me into the Safety Team. Your guidance and encouragement made me feel right at home. 🛡️
A huge shoutout to the Community Mods (Lucy, Christine, Aaron, Eden, Iris) for all their support and dedication. Your efforts in keeping this space safe, welcoming, and vibrant have inspired me to be a better contributor. I truly appreciate everything you do! 🌟
And to everyone else who’s crossed my path (I’m suppressing the urge to mass tag people I met but I’m sure it might cause more trouble), thank you for the friendship, the laughter, and the lessons learned. Each of you has made this experience unforgettable, and I’m so grateful to be part of this amazing community.
But this is just the beginning! 🚀 I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next, and I’m excited to continue growing, learning, and making more connections along the way.
Here’s to many more adventures together! 🌱💙
@kabir22
Its been great to have met you. I may not have been a newbie when we met but you have helped me beyond words.
@DragonspanAnge
Like I said, I'm supressing the urge to tag everyone I've met (in my heart, you are tagged). I'm so glad I got to meet you! Let's keep on growing and I've got your back! Cheers! 🥂
It's lovely to have you on the team, @kabir22! 💙
@Rebekah
Yay! Happy to help!

Hi Sensei Gobby! 😊 ❤️
Just wow! 😳 Thank you for your beautiful forum post Gobby! Thank you for including me in it!
Might I say, your words here are deeply meaningful to me as a human being, as your teammate as well as your friend! It has been an honor and a privilege to walk shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm and hand in hand with you on your journey. Thank you for letting me know that I have been a positive influence. That really is the goal, after all, to be of a good influence to others. 😊
"Not all those who wander are lost". - J.R.R. Tolkein
I say so many times that all you need is just one person to believe in you around here, just one! Someone believing in another certainly does work wonders towards positive outcomes and even better if there are more that believe. The more the merrier! I believe in listener retention, investing in one another and that we all rise together! None of have to do this alone. ❤️
There is much to be said for noticing the "signs" in others. Signs of personal readiness, reaching, wanting to learn and to grow. In all actuality Gobby, the credit really does go to you my friend. I simply noticed the "signs". 😊
You come to 7 cups with a positive attitude, a wealth of knowledge that easily translates here on the site as well as a myriad of highly portable skills. You my dear are a quick study as is quite evident here in your forum post!
Gratitude moments, sharing the space with others, highlighting the efforts of others and not simply your own, seeing the value in teamwork, etc. My dear Sensei Gobby, these things will serve you well here on your journey and provide a solid foundation moving forward in your leadership roles, which ever ones you choose. These things contribute to "trust in leadership". (Call back to a great forum post from H).
I'm also very grateful for and to everyone and anyone that has also contributed positively to your growth so far, supporting you as well as your efforts. They saw the signs too! 😊 *high fives* 😊 and well done team! Take a bow! Weeeeeeeeeeee-weeeeeeeeee! 😊
Gobby, it's a bitter sweet moment to see you shed that newbie badge. Yes, it's a big deal! It's a milestone, a right of passage and I'm so grateful to be a part of this moment with you. ❤️ You have been an incredible friend and twinning pro and indeed, it's going to be so very exciting to see where it is that your journey takes you! (and one day, the teacher becomes the student 😊)
I have learned so much from you already and can't wait to learn more. Dr. Suess...."oh the places we'll go".
*high fives* 😊 big *hugs* ❤️ and, you got this!
@SparkyGizmo
Oh wow, you’ve got me tearing up here like someone's cutting onions. This is truly one of those moments where words feel almost inadequate. Thank you for such a heartfelt, soul-warming message! It means the world to have someone as kind, wise, and generous as you walking this path with me. You’ve been that lighthouse in the fog, always guiding and cheering me on, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teammate, friend, and inspiration!
You know, J.R.R. Tolkien said it best with that quote, and you’ve been that one constant believer in me, reminding me that even when I wander, I’m never lost because I’ve got a solid support system. Seriously, how lucky am I to have you in my corner? And yes, you were spot on—sometimes all we need is that one person to say, "Hey, I see you. I believe in you," and you’ve been that person, time and time again. We really do rise together, and you’re the one always lifting others with your magic.
The credit you speak of? Well, it belongs to both of us, doesn’t it? You were that first beacon, noticing my little signs of growth, nudging me along, and giving me the space to spread my wings. So, thank you for being that kind soul who not only saw but nurtured.
Shedding that newbie badge is bittersweet indeed—oh, the feels! But having you by my side makes it all the more special. And hey, let’s face it, even if one day the student becomes the teacher, I’ll still be here, twinning and cheering you on with the same love and enthusiasm you’ve shown me. 🥹
Here’s to many more shared adventures, high fives, and those "weeeeee" moments that make this journey so magical! Big hugs and know that your kindness, wisdom, and spark will forever light up my path. And yes, my friend, oh, the places we’ll go—together! 🚀😊
high fives back 😊 big hugs ❤️ You got this too, always!
@kabir22
❤️❤️❤️
A lot of congratulations on this achievement Kabir. I'm really happy for you and also very grateful to have found an amazing brother I never had (pardon me I have this habit of making siblings out of friends 😅).
Anyway this journey has been great. Hoping to see more of it!
Keep growing and keep smiling! ☺️
@hopefulmoon5845
Thank you so much, my dear sibling (yep, I’m embracing this sibling status with pride)! 😊
Your words genuinely warmed my heart. Having you by my side on this journey has been one of the best parts. I’m beyond grateful for this bond we’ve built—sometimes, life brings the right people into your world, and I’m just lucky it brought you into mine.
Here’s to many more shared moments, endless laughs, and a journey that keeps surprising us in the best ways. And hey, now that we’re family, you’re stuck with me! 😅
Keep shining, keep spreading that joy, and always know that I’ve got your back, sister! 😊❤️
You have a unique talent to win anyone's heart here brother. I hope someday I can be as good as you in choice of words. 😊

Congratulations on saying goodbye to your Newbie badge, and cheers to your adventure ahead!🎉
I can't believe how fast you've grown/levelled up. It's making me feel emotional, I guess (kidding).
On a serious note, as much as we do banter, you genuinely bring a smile to my face, and it's been lovely to meet and interact with you. I hope that your journey here on cups continues to be positive and filled with growth. Lots of love and good wishes to you🫂💙
@hopefulDew435
Thank you! 🎉 I guess I leveled up faster than I expected—who knew I had it in me? Your support is like the secret power-up I didn’t know I needed!
Seriously though, it’s been a blast getting to know you. Here’s to more laughter, banters, growth, and hopefully not too many cringe-worthy moments. Lots of love and good vibes back at you! 🫂💙
(P.S I definitely made you emotional)
@kabir22
I'm so glad you acknowledged my influence in your progress. It's an honour! 🧙🏼♀️
I guess I look forward to those moments, too (P.S. You definitely did not) 😊💙
@kabir22
Cheers to your progress, keep leveling up Kabir.
