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

Welcome to my page :) I am Kate, a young woman from Greece. I am currently working in customer service, and i plan on studying psychology or English philology in university. I initially joined this site to get support in regards to my at the time relationship, and decided to also join as a Listener, doing exactly what I plan on having as my profession in a few years from now: be there for people. My main role here is to be there for you no matter what you go through, no matter how big or small it is. And no matter how many roles I take on on this site, I will still be here for you. For that is my main goal, my biggest contribution to this community. 🥰 Some of my hobbies include: dancing, writing, reading books playing (romance, fantasy, mythology and non-fiction), filming videos, playing final fantasy 14 as well as taking pictures. 🌺 I am only available for supportive conversations on the topics listed on my profile. For any other topic, please contact another listener. Thank you! 🌺 My contribution to this community goes beyond being a Listener. Here are some other roles I have taken up: Verified Listener. I have been verified by the community for my commitment to active listening skills and quality chatting. That means the community expects of me to maintain professional, kind, open-minded and understanding towards you at all times. Chat Supporter. I am considered a listener who has expertise in the role of a listener and is eligible to provide specialized support to listeners on 7cups in regards to their role/supportive chat.

I flag profiles that go against the website guidelines. 🌺 My status usually indicates: Green: I am online and ready to take a chat. Orange: I am online but busy, which means my responses will be slower - not taking any chats. Red: I am offline - not taking new chats.

This is a test, a test to see if you are a human. Please note if something applies to you: Have you ever eaten a booger long past your childhood? Have you ever made a small, weird sound when you remembered something embarrassing? Have you ever purposely lower-cased the first letter of a text to come across as sad or disappointed? Have you ever ended a text with a period as a sign of aggression? Have you ever laughed or smiled when someone said something unpleasant to you, and you wondered the rest of the day why you reacted that way? Have you ever put on a pair of pants, and then realized much later that there was a loose sock smushed up against your thigh? Have you ever tried to guess someone else's password so many times that it locked their account? Have you ever had a nagging feeling that one day you will be discovered as a fraud? Have you ever hoped that there was some ability you hadn't discovered yet that you were just naturally talented at? Have you ever broken something in real life, and then found yourself looking for an "undo" button in real life? Have you ever marveled at how someone you thought was so ordinary could suddenly become so beautiful? Have you ever stared at your phone, smiling like an idiot while texting someone? Have you ever subsequently texted that person the phrase, "I'm staring at the phone, smiling like an idiot"? Have you ever been tempted to, and gave into that temptation, of looking through someone else's phone? Have you ever had a conversation with yourself, and then suddenly realized you're a terrible person to yourself? Has your phone ever run out of battery in the middle of an argument, and it sort of felt like the phone was breaking up with both of you? Have you ever thought that working on an issue between you and yourself was futile, because it should just be more natural than this, or this is supposed to happen just naturally? Have you ever realized that very little, in the long run, just happens naturally? Have you ever woken up blissfully, and suddenly been flooded by the awful remembrance that someone had left you? Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that no longer was in your life? Have you ever looked back on that event with the sad smile of autumn and the realization that futures will happen, regardless? Congratulations, you have now completed and passed the test. You are human. Want to know who has the best 7 Cups profile? Click here!
