🌸🫧 Hi there, I’m Lex 🫧🌸 Welcome — I’m so glad you found your way here 💖. Reaching out takes courage, and I want you to know you don’t have to go through things alone anymore. When you chat with me, you’ll step into a safe space that’s filled with gentleness, patience, and care. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌼 Availability 🌼 ☀️ I’m usually around 9am–9pm (weekends included). ☁️ Sometimes notifications don’t come through, so if I don’t reply right away, don’t worry — I’ll get back to you as soon as I see your message. 🌙 I take personal requests/PMs only — so even if I look offline, you can still send me a note. 🌸 Chats are usually 30–45 minutes, but if you’d like to connect long-term, I’m more than happy to be a steady listener over time. 💌 Feedback means so much to me — if you feel supported, leaving a review helps me grow and connect with others. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🎧 My Listening Style 🎧 🌿 My style is soft, validating, and steady. I don’t rush you or push you to share more than you want. Instead, I’ll hold space for your feelings, sit with you through the heavy stuff, and remind you that you matter. 🌿 I believe in walking beside you — I won’t “fix” things for you, but I’ll help you notice your own strength and resilience. I’ll ask gentle, thoughtful questions to help you reflect, and I’ll always lead with empathy. 🌿 You’ll never be “too much” here. No matter how messy, foggy, or heavy things feel, I’ll be there to listen without judgment. 🌿 I also know that sometimes the best support is guiding you to someone else — if I think another listener could help more, I’ll be honest and kind about that. 🌿 At the heart of it all, I want you to leave each chat feeling a little lighter, a little safer, and a little more seen than before. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌷 About Me 🌷 🌸 I’m 21 and currently in college, studying psychology, education, and human development. Helping others is something I feel deeply called to do, and 7 Cups is one of my favorite ways to offer support. 🌸 I’ve been listening on Cups since March, though I’ve been offering support for around 4 years now. 🌸 I’m bubbly and lighthearted (hence my name 🫧), but I also bring calmness and grounding energy to my chats. I can be a little shy at first, but I warm up quickly and love meaningful connections. 🌸 Outside of Cups, you’ll usually find me watching Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident, The Rookie, or Station 19,playing sports, or catching up on some much-needed rest 🌙. 🌸 The areas I take include: anxiety, depression, breakups, PTSD, eating disorders, self-esteem struggles, bullying, self-harm, and weight management. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ ✨ My Roles at 7 Cups ✨ Along with listening, I’m also active in the community in many ways: 🌼 Verified Listener & Peer Support 🌼 ATL & Chat Support 🌼 Listener Chatroom Supporter & Chatroom Mentor 🌼 Teen Chatroom Mentor & Community Mod  🌼 Community Leader & Listener Verifier These roles simply reflect how much I care about supporting both members and listeners here at 7 Cups. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🚫 Topics I Don’t Take 🚫 Just so you know upfront, here are the areas I’m not the best fit for: ❌ Sex, sexual health, or relationship-related topics ❌ Financial struggles ❌ Disabilities ❌ Chronic pain If you’d like to talk about these, I’ll gently point you toward another listener who may be more equipped to support you. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌸 A Gentle Reminder 🌸 This is your space. You don’t have to have the “right words,” and you don’t need to apologize for your feelings. I’ll meet you right where you are — with empathy, patience, and care. Healing takes time, and you don’t have to walk through it alone. ₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊ 💬 Quotes I hold close to my heart: 🌱 “Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means it no longer controls you.” 🌙 “Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just show up.” 🫧 “Even the tiniest bubbles can lift the heaviest waves.” Twin Listener: @compationaterainbow64  Some listeners that have truly impacted my 7cups journey, @ChillingRain @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @Jenna @AnnaSilverberg @SelfCareMatters @daydreammemories  With warmth and kindness always, — Bubbles 🫧🌼✨

Hi my name on cups is paws.  I really like helping people out so I thought being a listener on cups would be a good fit for me. What I like to do in free times is eating , films , sports , hiking, being out in nature and a lot more. i am a big fan of psychology and I a big life long learner, i am huge cat person.

***** Not taking any 1-1 chats right now please use https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ to find a Listener. ***** Will not take any chats with sex of any nature  I am sorry ***** ***** Current Roles *****  Adult and Teen Listener Forum and Room Supporter - for Mindfulness and 50+ Community Mentor - 50+ Needs reply Charoom Supporter - Listener support room 24/7 Mentor for new Listeners Peer supporter  I joined in December of 2017, to help those who have nowhere  to turn. I am here for new listeners also to mentor because beginning a role like a Listener can be scary and want to give back to them. to help guide them and supply the appropriate tolls ( forms, links ) to help them succeed in their role. I help also with any concerns a new listener may have. I have real fun making forum posts for topics that help in my groups Mindfulness and 50+. I think of topics and write a forum post either to educare us more or just to update on a topic of choice. I enjoy writing the post and hearing feedback from others on how a person feels about the topics . My experience on 7 cups makes me love the roles I have and new roles I may apply for. I have grown so much with 7 cups and use certain chat strategies in my friendships offline.                  

Unable to take member chats at this time.  "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think". - Winnie The Pooh I believe that all people need something to do, something to aspire to and someone to love. I believe that angels walk among us, because God is a really busy person-solving lack of world peace, world hunger, etc.  He sends angels to us even in human form to help the cause.  Look for them...now, look harder. I believe what you seek, you shall find. I believe that we all have something to learn from anyone and everyone that we meet. I believe that happiness is a journey and not a destination. I believe that kindness matters, always. Oh well, that's just me.  I BELIEVE ❤️  Enough about me, how about if we talk about you?  Roles on 7 cups Trained Active Listener Verified Active Listener Safety Patrol Team  Peer Pro Peer Support Global Forum Supporter 7 Cups Welcome Committee Pop Up Room Co-host when needed Eyes to the ground.

***Please note: I am not currently available for 1-on-1 support chats. With my roles as a community mentor leader, group support mentor, and chatroom moderator I will be focusing my efforts primarily on community teams, forums and group support activities.*** It's not a community without 'u'! About me: Others have described me as an empathetic individual who strives to be objective, motivational, and empowering. I do firmly believe that if you challenge yourself to look at a situation from a different angle you will see options you have overlooked, and that sometimes even unpalatable solutions need to be seen for what they are, possible solutions. I aim to offer a respectful and non-judgmental ear, keeping in mind that my personal values and beliefs are just that: Mine and need only apply to me/my life.  I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community, some of the labels I use, or have used, to describe(not define) myself include but are not limited to, lesbian, homoromantic asexual and demiromantic. While I am open to and accepting of all members of the LGBTQ+ community, I feel my personal experience makes me most suited to supporting those who relate to or don similar labels. Now entering my 40's I have had experiences with a variety of issues from early childhood to present. I have found this can enhance my natural ability to empathize while still offering alternate perspectives. I primarily provide support for and am most comfortable with topics I have indicated in my profile. There are certain topics that I do not take chats involving, namely drugs, alcohol, detailed discussion of sexual topics, or any which contravene the rules of 7 Cups. "No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how imperfect and jagged our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly disarray, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, a poetic glamour." – Randolph Silliman Bourne
