Bio

"Every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things but the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant."


I am Skye, I speak fairly good tamil, and if you like, you can call me Bhagya so Hey you!



I am also super duper very much on break right now (A levels, wish me luck!). Hope you find another lovely listener, friend! And I am proud of you for being here~ Asking for help takes just as much courage as offering help. 


On a side-mushy-note, know that I miss this place every single day with every inch of my tiny fist-sized heart. (no one can say I'm not the most accuratest of the accurate #Skyentist) ♥


psst. I promise I'll be back ♥

And what is this week, you ask? (yes you asked, now shush about it :P) Weeellll... 🌟 ITS ACCEPTANCE WEEK! 🌟 Every single person is different, and every single circumstance is different.

This week, in honour of the International Day for Acceptance, we hope that all the coolio cupsians can come together to discuss and share our thoughts on acceptance, and how we can create the most accepting environment we can. ♥ Soooo lets get right down to business, people!

💜 Coming Out: Discussion Notes! 💜
Community Projects & Events / by 221Skye
Last post
 January 16th, 2016
...See more This BAE discussion, on Coming Out, happened on the 11th of Octopus during LGBTQ+ Ally Week, in the Guided Discussions Room (teen). It was led by myself and the lovely ENO! Look below to find the insights shared over the course of this discussion laid out in pretty colours :P ♥ Icebreaker: What is one fear you have faced in your life and what is the result? This was a wildly brave bunch, there were people jumping from trees (and getting hurt xD) and finding friendship despite crippling Social Anxiety. ♥ Also, ya know, Arachnophobia and spider murders, obviously xD I'm afraid of spiders, today there was a small one in my room and my mum was like "help yourself" so I just killed it lol 1) What does the term Coming Out mean? Basically, it means publicly sharing your sexual/gender/romantic identity, but even more importantly, many agreed it means Being yourself and sharing that with someone you trust. ♥ 2) Is it important to come out? Why or why not? There was quite a range of answers for this one, all of which were rather thoughtful. ♥ ☆ Yes, its important to acknowledge who we are, and come out to ourselves! It gives you a sense of self-acceptance. ☆ It can be important, but its even more important to make sure you are safe when coming out to others. ☆ You shouldnt have to, because people shouldnt be assuming you are straight. You are you, and your sexuality/gender shouldnt change anything. 3) Who should someone come out to? Are there certain more important people to come out to, such as parents, family or close friends? The most important person to come out to is yourself but after, if you feel like it, you can come out to the people you trust and matter to you- those whom you know will have your back! 4) What are some different ways people can come out? What are the benefits and negatives of these methods? ☆ Write a note to them- gives them time to figure things out and not act rashly or hurtfully. ☆ You could arrange an event (like a meal) with the people youd like to come out to, and tell them all at once. ☆ Shout it out over the PA system - this human knows the deal :P ☆ Some cons: People might not accept it, and sometimes it might lead to you being abused. People may treat you differently. ☆ Some Pros: You have support through your journey. 5) When should someone come out? ☆ When they feel comfortable and ready- this is different for different people, we shouldnt pressure anyone! ☆ It is crucial that the person is safe, only come out if you know you will be safe. 6) Is there ever a time when someone should NOT come out? Give an example! ☆ When you are surrounded by homophobes- even if they are family or friends. ☆ When it is unsafe to do so, like if its illegal in your country, to avoid criminal prosecution A lovely point put forth by someone amazeballs- Id like to say if someone, it doesnt mean theyre homophobic. I am religious, and I accept all LGBTQ+ people! They are human too, and I love them all ♥ 7) What are the challenges associated with coming out? How can we face these challenges? ☆ Homophobia, a distinct lack of acceptance ☆ Ingrained societal norms make it hard to even accept ourselves, much less imagine someone else might accept you. ☆ Fear that people might think youre not normal psshh what is normal anyway? XD <3 Facing The Challenges ☆ You just take the risk- not everyone might like you but that is expected no matter what. ☆ Acknowledging who we are, and finding support in an accepting space can help too! Be strong and sure about your decisions ☆ I like to tell myself people somewhere will accept me, I just have to find them 8) What are some possible benefits of coming out? ✿ Its like a weight being lifted off your shoulders! ✿ You dont have to feel like youre hiding or faking anything anymore ✿ You can be who you are ✿ Be proud of yourself and think about the huge step youve taken! ✿ 9) How do we deal with unaccepting people? ☆ We ignore them and block them out ☆ Those who mind dont matter and those who matter dont mind (Hey we all know Seuss is a wise chap. Always trust Seuss xD) ☆ They may not accept you but that doesn't mean you can't accept them. Say 'I'm sorry you feel that way but you can't change who I am.' and just be you. ☆ Killing it with kindness is the ultimate badassery. 10) What advice would you give to someone thinking of coming out? ☆ Tell those you trust first, and dont worry about unaccepting people- your sexuality isnt here to please others. ☆ Do it in a safe place. ☆ Keep being you. Some profound thoughts I cant help but include xD ♛ Amazeabaze - this word has been endorsed by this discussion and basically, oxford get on it already! ♛ Everyone is a unicorn ♛ Normal is overrated.

Eating Disorders - Discussion Notes!
Community Projects & Events / by 221Skye
Last post
 January 10th, 2016
...See more On the 8th of October, a few dozen eons ago (in 2015) a Teen Member Discussion on Eating Disorders (focused on Anorexia and Bulimia) was hosted by myself and @Amelia, for Mental Illness Awareness Week! Here lies the notes from this amazingly fruitful discussion. Icebreaker: To start off the discussion, whats your favourite superpower and why? Everything from telekinesis and invincibility to mind-reading (the coolio NON-EdwardCullen kind of course xD) and slowing down time to get more work done ;) ➊ What are some types of eating disorders? Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, Orthorexia, Pica, Rumination Disorder. Some other disorders are typically known as OSFED (other specified feeding or eating disorder) or UFED (unspecified feeding or eating disorder) ➋ Describe anorexia and bulimia. What are some signs that someone might be suffering from one or both of them? ✮ Anorexia nervosa, often referred to simply as anorexia, is an eating disorder characterized by low weight, fear of gaining weight, a strong desire to be thin, and food intake restriction. ✮ Bulimia nervosa, also known as simply bulimia, is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging, and a lack of control over eating practices. ✮ Some common signs of an eating disorder would be a preoccupation with calories, distorted body image, being secretive about their eating and not partaking in social dining events etc. ➌ Why do you think people might develop Eating Disorders? Feelings of imperfection, reduced self esteem, societal views and perceptions and stress are some common reasons. It could also develop as an outlet to satisfy their need for control when life feels out of control. Other influences: culturally, media is saturated with a beauty standard that is impossible to realistically reach, while genetically and biochemically, we might be affected by our brain chemistry etc. ➍ What are some misconceptions you think society has about Eating Disorders? ☆ Its for attention seekers ☆ You have to be underweight to have an ED ☆ Its to please someone else ☆ Fixing the food intake fixes the ED (Nope it doesnt, an ED is still highly a mental issue and we need to get at the body image issues and thoughts under the surface!) ☆ ➎ How can we support people dealing with Eating Disorders? Be willing to talk about the ED, but also to talk about other things. Not everything is about the ED, theres more to their life. ✮ Understand its a sensitive topic to talk about, and dont push them to do things. ✮ Do NOT take control over their life, it just makes things worse. ✮ Offer to help find treatment options. Be there for them and validate their feelings. ✮ Recognise the small steps of improvement. ✮ Relapse is a part of it, doesnt mean theyre not trying. ➏ What steps are usually involved in recovering from an Eating Disorder? Biggest step- Deciding you want to recover Acknowledging the pattern and reasons, Reaching out for support, Encountering slip ups and relapses, Maintaining recovery. ➐ Do you know any helpful resources for Eating Disorders? ANAD [http://www.anad.org/eating-disorders-get-help/] and NEDA [http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org] were suggested for the US/Canada regions. 7 Cupsy clearly ;) ED quotes, on tumblr- eatingdisorderrecovery.tumblr.com/quotes [http://eatingdisorderrecovery.tumblr.com/quotes] ➑ What kind of thoughts might people with Eating Disorders have? ☆ Im not good enough ☆ Feeling stuck, like nothing will ever change ☆ Im worthless ☆ Comparing yourself to someone else ☆ Im a failure ☆ I just want to be skinny and loved ☆ I dont deserve to eat ☆ ➒ Why might someone with an Eating Disorder not want to reach out for help? It inspires Fear- fear of people knowing the secret, of what treatment will mean, of losing control. It could also be because, theres a fear that it might not even be anything major enough to make a fuss about. It is tough, because it entails gaining weight which holds such a negative connotation to anyone with an ED. ➓ To end off, lets think of one positive thing/something we like about ourselves! I like my legs- squats totally paid off ☆ I put others before myself ☆ Im never using makeup because I wanted to be confident enough to be me and that is quite awesome ☆ Im very passionate ☆ Im GIFted at GIFs. ☆ I like that I can express myself in writing ☆ Participant List @Kipper17 @Wanderlustig @IHateYouDontLeaveMe @Anomalia @CactussFlower @ImLizi @emilyrush15 @Rattlehead Do go ahead and add on, if you have any thoughts, suggestions, or ponderings or questions in your head about this topic! :D <3

I HAVE IMMENSE RESPECT FOR YOU!! X100
The most wonderfulest listener I've ever had
Skye was absolutely amazing. She related to me and replied back instantly. And when she wouldn't respond right away, it was because she would send back a very long response which showed me how caring she is. She's a great listener and I am so blessed that I was able to talk to her. Thanks to her, I feel great about myself and I didn't relapse. Skye is the best.
Amazing listener, such a caring personality and silly, of course only at the right time. She has such empathy for everyone and is always there for you. She makes a great listener if you don't need a live chat :-)
