Hi. You can call me Lore. I am a 20 year old bisexual male, and in first year college. I'm a Listener because letting people tell me their stories and helping them deal with their issues has done a lot for me. I've been through a lot and I've helped people through even more. I've learned that I can be a good listener from real life experience so I try to help people here however I can.
As to who I am, I'm a bit of a gamer, with some favourite series such as Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and Elder Scrolls. I've been doing Tae Kwon Do for about nine years, but that's about the only sports I do. Music is my life. I have been learning and studying it since I was 5, and I don't plan on ever stopping. I can play a bit of piano, and I love percussion, but voice and guitar is my thing. If you ever want to talk about music, I'd love to chat.
I have experience with depression, anxiety, high amounts of stress, family issues, panic attacks, self harm and being socially isolated. I've questioned my faith (religion) and my sexuality before. I know what it feels like to wonder where you fit. I live with ADHD, but I don't use medication. I'm not afraid to give some tough love but I will never give it without permission. If I feel like that's what you need, I'll let you know and ask if you are willing to let me give it because my priority is to help you.
I'll listen to everything you have to say, and I won't judge you for anything you are afraid to say. If you need to rant, I'm happy to listen. If you need to talk about relationships, just message me and we can start talking. I know what it feels like to believe you don't have a voice, but remember that on 7 cups, there is always somebody who will listen to you. You people matter, and you are all important. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
If I'm online, I'd be happy to help. If I'm offline, message me and I'll be happy to try and set up a time for us.

Here are some great quotes about life from great movies, books, and amazing people:
“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.” - J. R. R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings
“We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.” - Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
