Need to talk to someone?

Hi! I have to take some time away right now, flying south for the summer. Stay strong. You can do this! 🦋❤️🦋 Right now I am busy with my long-term members and I am not taking on any new ones. So if you have messaged me I urge you to seek another listener using the https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/  link. There you can search using the filter option. I will update here when things change.  ~~~*~~~  "I am glad you have found me here at 7 Cups! I am happy to listen to you on many topics. I have experience in lots of different areas - anxiety, depression, and mental illness, families, and relationships, love, school, college, or work-related problems, financial stress, healthy living, food, and special diets, I can also offer support for chronic pain, illness, and disabilities. I am part of both the adult and the teen listening team, (and yes I can still remember being a teen lol) and I also offer long-term support to those that I can and who are in need. If I am not online then you are welcome to leave me a message -  but please tell me what you want to talk about so we can get off to a flying start. I will get back to you when I am next able, but please bear in mind that I get a lot of messages and I will reply to the most urgent first so if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? If you are a teen turning 18 in the near future, or if you have already turned 18 and feel like some more support then you can apply for one of the Teen Transition Mentor Team, including me, to reach out and support you through the transition from the teen side to the 18+ adult side.  The form is here ~~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM If you have any feedback or ideas for the Disability Support Community then please fill out this form ~~> https://forms.gle/EJN1SX74mo6swPwN6  At weekends my response will be slower as that is usually my time off from 7 Cups, and I may not respond to any PMs or new requests till Monday. I  hope you understand that. We all need time for ourselves to recharge our batteries and relax.  ONE STEP AT A TIME "We all have different-sized footsteps that we leave behind on our journey through life. Sometimes we can change the size of our footsteps, the imprint, the impact, the direction. Sometimes our footsteps land on rock and they do not show, or they land on sand and stay for a while, Other times they get washed away by massive oceans or powerful waves. But each and every footstep is important in so many ways. Ways that we may not even know about. Watch your step, think about your steps, plan your next step, and the rest will follow."  Listening ... one step at a time Quote of Acceptance When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes Anger, When we accept it, it becomes tolerance. When we don't accept uncertainty, it becomes fear, When we accept it, it becomes an adventure,  When we don't accept other's bad behaviour toward us, it becomes hatred, When we accept it, it becomes forgiveness. When we don't accept other's success, it becomes jealousy When we accept it, it becomes an inspiration. Acceptance is the key to handling life well !! Butterflies are a symbol of hope that we can all change from a small brown grub into a beautiful amazing butterfly! One step at a time! "Those who never change their minds, never change anything!" (Winston S. Churchill) "Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best!"  (B. Disraeli) Pearls are a great symbol of the grace we create, for the oyster creates its greatest work of art from an irritant!

I believe I'm a philosopher, a frozen heart, yet a lover of humanity, someone nonjudgmental, a protagonist-minded antagonist, something out of a classic novel, filled with endless humor, a little dark humor with a pinch of sarcasm, and rarely narcissistic.  "Love is the only reality, and it is not a mere sentiment." — Kahlil Gibran

I am a open hearted and empathetic listener ready to hold the space for everyone the best I can. I am a psychology student and look forward to helping as much as I can.

Life is about creating yourself. ― George Bernard Shaw

''Every saint has a PAST and every sinner has a FUTURE If you are feeling broken, know that I have been there before and it is harder being there alone. I am here for you. I have tried and failed more than once but I have also tried and succeeded more than once. There are those problems that we cannot share with our loved ones. This is because of the fear that they may judge you 😏 or worse laugh at you 😂. You can always be free with me. I am a  listener who does not judge.👂 I have faced a number of hardships and sharing them has given me the ENERGY to overcome them. You can tell me anything. I believe that a problem shared is a problem half solved. ------------------------- * I DON'T YET HAVE A RELIABLE SCHEDULE BUT I WILL POST ONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE  * I DO 1 HOUR ACTIVE-LISTENING CHATS UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE. * IF I'M NOT ONLINE, FEEL FREE TO: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ ------------------------- ''No matter the pain we endure, it must come a time when we must pick ourselves up and continue with our journey. SO YOU CAN GO ON BEING LONELY AND  MISSING WHAT YOU HAD, OR YOU CAN MOVE ON TO SOMETHING NEW  AND  WONDERFUL WHAT'S NEW AND EXCITING? 1. HAPPINESS  “You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore, before you decide to be happy.” -Nightbirde- 2. POSITIVITY "Pessimistic people live miserable lives." TROLLS (2016) Branch: You don't know anything, Poppy. And I can't wait to see the look on your face when you realize the world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows. 'Cause it isn't. Bad things happen, and there's nothing you can do about it. Poppy: Hey, I know it's NOT all cupcakes and rainbows but I'd rather go through life thinking that it MOSTLY is instead of being like YOU. You don't sing, you don't dance... So gray all the time. 3. LOVE “A life lived in love will never be dull." FROZEN (2013) "Only an act of Love can thaw a Frozen heart." 4. COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS  "When everything is going all wrong, it is probably wise to count your blessings. Make lists of all the things that you should be happy about. Think of all those good things. Focus on them." INSIDE OUT (2015) Joy: Look, I get it. You guys have concerns. But we've been through worse! Tell you what: let's make a list of all the things Riley should be HAPPY about! Anger: Fine. Let's see... this house stinks, our room stinks... Disgust: Pizza is weird here... Sadness: Our friends are back home... Fear: And all of our stuff is in the missing van! Joy: Oh c'mon, it could be worse... Disgust: Yeah, Joy. We could be lying on the dirty floor. In a bag. Joy: Okay, I admit it, we had a rough start. But think of all the good things... It's important that everyone knows, (you are) so much more than all the bad things that (have) happened to (you). -NIGHTBIRDE-
