Hello Everyone!!! My name is Treasure, and you can also call me Bluey; my pronouns are she/her. I am from Nigeria, and I've lived there all my life; I just moved in September 2022. I like doing many things and nothing (if that makes sense). I love reading (Dan Brown and so many others), writing (just not school writing, like essays), cooking, playing a few sports, drawing, watching movies and series, sleeping, and other things. But sometimes, I just like not doing anything at all. I plan to be a neurosurgeon (not negotiable). I like a little bit of everything, but I'd like to be an EMT for some time, too (they look so cool). I also went to a driving school. I'd love to be a polyglot because I think it's cool. I love 7 Cups because it's an inclusive space, and everybody cares about each other. Aside from English, I speak Igbo fluently, and I know a little bit of French and Spanish, but I'm focusing on Korean right now because I'm planning this colossal trip to South Korea for later on in life. I think South Korea is a fantastic place (JSYK, I'm not a K-pop/K-drama die-hard fan; I love it the healthy way) 😊
Feel free to send me a message anytime, and I'll do my best to reply as soon as possible.
Hiya @calmingBubbles7910 lovely to meet you. This is such a great welcome and check-in prompt, thank you for taking out the time to offer space to our new community users to introduce themselves as well as sharing your sweet introduction too!💛
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Hello!!! Thank you so much for the encouragement; I love your username, by the way :)
@calmingBubbles7910
Aw thank youu, keep shining hehe!🌞💗

1. My name is Thomas and on here I usually go by TooMuchOrNotAtAll, which is a mouthful, but the best way to describe why I started on this site at all.
2. My interests include boxing, jiu-jitsu and really any fighting sport. I like climbing and going for runs. Whenever I over do it and have to reframe from physical exercise, I read or watch movies.
3. Goals: Professionally, I need to make six-figures. I don't really care what. I studies so many things in school (engineering, law, math, literature, etc.). I support my mother and two siblings, as been the case since I was fourteen, and money goes like water. Right now, I have a couple jobs, one is crap, one is great but both are necessary. Personal goals is a tougher one. My daily goal is just to protect and support my family.
4. Favorite aspect of this community: I like that people feel comfortable enough to share things that's bothering them or even just what's on their mind. I like that a huge chuck of the community is very welcoming and even helpful in that they mention resources and share tips or outlets that help them get through similar problems.
5. Anything else you'd like to share: My only addiction is fighting and it's costly. I'm not doing to pretend that it's more costly than drug addiction or alcoholism, but physical injuries, medical bills and just the overall moody attitude that pushes people away is ***. I usually burn at both ends of the meter. Too much or not at all. Very mature and yet so immature. Intense but also laid back.
Thank you for this. It's a pleasure to meet you Treasure/Bluey. I hear that Nigeria is beautiful, but unfortunately, I've never been. A friend of mine stood there for a month, never stops talking about the sky and the food and the beautiful people. I've read a couple Dan Brown books. They aren't bad. Writing is a great outlet. It's the one I started with when I still couldn't get the fighting under control/ before I started doing it in a ring instead of school or in the street. I think it's great that you want to be a Neurosurgeon. Not an easy career path, obviously, but the world definitely needs more. EMT's are life savers. There is always a demand for that. Languages. You are amazing for that. I can only speak English, German and Danish. I think I am incapable of learning the romance languages.
Anyway, ditto on that part.
@TooMuchOrNotAtAll
Hii there, Thomas! Thank you so much for sharing this. I also love martial arts! A lot!!
You sound like a Renaissance guy and that's cool. I dig the money and family aspect, and I love your optimism. I'm glad that you're enjoying the community, too.
I can imagine what you're going through; I want you to know that trying your best to be better is the best thing you could ever do for yourself. (The keyword there is trying :) ) I have someone that I look up to a lot (Ben Carson), who went through something similar, and just as he overcame, you too can overcome it!
The languages you speak are so cool! You can do anything you set your heart out to do, all you have to do is strive and never give up. I believe in you, and I know you can do it!!
@calmingBubbles7910
Thank you, Treasure/Bluey. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement and the many compliments. You really are a treasure.
Ben Carson is definitely one of those people everyone should try to emulate. He manages to balance resilience and kindness. Most people think they have to sacrifice one for the other.

Hi I'm Jason I'm bisexual
I'm 14
I am a gamer and tech student at my high school
@limegreenWest2530
Hey there, Jason! You seem like a pretty chill person :) Being a gamer and a tech student at such a young age is INCREDIBLE!!!
@limegreenWest2530
Hey. Nice to meet you, Jason. Fourteen always sounds young on someone else, but I remember when I was fourteen. It's cool that you are studying tech. You have to start early with that. As far as gaming, I don't know much. My little brothers are always playing video games and trying to get me to join in. It's great for hand-eye coordination and reflexes.
As Bluey said, you seem like a chill person to be around.
Thank you for sharing and letting us know a little about you.
@limegreenWest2530
Hey Jason! It's wonderful to meet you. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our community thus far. I cant wait to see you flourish <3

My name is Adryan Nevan Cathel Norvell. ( picked it out myself) I'm 16 years old, 17 in 4 weeks, and I am transgender (ftm) using only he/him pronouns and pansexual. I'm also in a relationship with my nonbinary partner, though currently I'm closeted.
I love reading all kinds of books though I tend to linger in the Fantasy genre. Specifically at the moment, the mortal instruments by Cassandra Claire. Specifically Chain of Golds, the last hours book one. But as said I enjoy all forms of literature. Dystopian, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Historical Fiction, poetry, short stories, horror, and romance.
My favorite genre of movies is Horror by far. I love the Black phone and Pennywise. Though I also love animated movies as well. How to Train your Dragon, the croods, and Rise of the guardians is my favorite. My favorite movie series is Planet of the apes and my favorite series thus far is Originals.
I love writing and have wrote several short stories, mostly from my creative writing last year. I want to be a author, specializing in Fantasy. I am in the process of Outlining a book right now which I am really Excited about. Writing is one of my positive outlets (that and Pinterest and Spotify lol) and it helps me cope with my anxiety, self esteem, dysphoria, and depression.
As far as my future goes I haven't the faintest idea what I want to pursue, besides being an author of course. I might pursue photography as that really interests me. Or perhaps I'd follow a older dream of Computer Animation. Maybe I'd become a hair stylist. Or jump out of planes for a living. I'm unsure honestly and have trouble making up my mind on what I want to do.
I'd say what I look forward most to currently is moving in with my sister and starting Testosterone and beginning my transition.
I love 7cups. Ive been a member for like a month now. It has really helped me. Personally I just like the sense of community it gives. And connecting with others who share similar problems/fears with you.
@SquidwardBobRoss
Hii Adryan!!! Very cool name :) Woo-hoo, your birthday is happening soon. I love that you know what you want so far, and you can take as much time as you need, you don't have to feel pressured to do anything :)👍
I also love reading books (I think I mentioned that before 😅). I recently got a bookshelf in my room and I was so happy about it. I've already filled 2/5 rows 😌 Mystery/Thriller is my main thing, but I read EVERY and ANY type of book.
Horror is among my favourite too!!! Mystery and Thriller also :) And just like books, I also watch every and any type of movie or show. Right now, I'm watching Stranger Things and Naruto Shippuden, and I LOVE them, a lot!!! I have originals on my list, I'm really looking forward to it, but I don't have a favourite movie. Or book. And I never read or watch anything twice, but the only movie I have watched twice is Now You See Me 1&2, and the only book I have read twice is The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown
It's so AWESOME that you write. I always appreciate people that do things that I would never do (like writing). I recently started enjoying composition because my Professor is AWESOME! But that's a wonderful thing fr.
That is TOTALLY fine too, you're sure of one, and you can also do the rest too! I have a lot of things I'd like to do in future and I plan on doing them. If you really want to do something, then I know you can! You just have to set your mind to it and also believe in yourself.
I hope that you move in with your sister and begin your journey as soon as possible :)
I really love 7Cups too! Even though I'm mostly occupied with school, I try my best to come on here as frequently as I can. And I we have so much in common!!! :):)
@SquidwardBobRoss you are super extra amazingly ! *wow super brave* for all the things you said about yourself. I'm (a lot of those things) or (i have friends with lots of those characteristics) who are out proud and wonderful. KEEP BEING EXPRESSIVE! YOUR VOICE DESERVES A MIC DROP PICK IT UP AND DON'T DROP IT BECAUSE MICS ARE EXPENSIVE.
YOU ROCK
xo friends
@lilsurvivor
got it I will dramatically not drop the mic and instead very fabulously do the chicken dance.

Hi, I'm Leo. I like to bicycle, and fix bicycles. I enjoy massage therapy, both giving and receiving. I love to cook 'simply'(nothing processed, nothing crazy! think rustic and home-style) and with fresh, high quality ingredients. My goals here are to become a better listener by completing the internship. My goals in life would include owning my own little kingdom where I can build gardens and produce fruits (and veggies) from my labor and build an intentional community to welcome others that are of like-mind. I like to read a lot of non-fiction, enjoy time in nature, gardening, writing fan-fiction, swim, hike, cook, clean, cycle and stay active. I also love making fermented foods and beverages.
@Leonydus
Hello Leo!!! Bicycles are nicee, it's been long since I rode one and I miss it a lot. I've never given or received massage therapy, so that is something I'd definitely check out! I really love and appreciate your dream because it's such a selfless one, and it's also a very healthy/good one, too. I believe you can be a better listener :) I really hope you own your own little Kingdom. Wow! I never knew people could make fermented foods and beverages by themselves; that sounds so interesting! You seem like a really in-the-present person, and I love that!!!
@calmingBubbles7910 Hi, I'm mouse, um I love animation and want to be an animator one day. I also participate in plays and love acting. I'm super new to this website.
@LittleMouse9
Nice to meet you, Mouse!!! I also love animation, and I will never be able to "get over it." A lot of people think it's "childish," but I don't. And I also think it's super cool that you want to be an animator one day; I hope that happens 👍 I've never been in a play before because I just won't be able to hold my laughter, but that's a terrific thing, too! I'm so glad that you came across 7Cups, and I hope that you get all the support you need and that you're always happy 😊
@calmingBubbles7910 thank you so much 🤗
