Need to talk to someone?

I'll follow you into the dark!

⌚ Availability  August 19th, 2026 & Onward: I'm prioritizing my own mental health and family obligations, so my availability will be inconsistent these days; however, I'm happy to say that I'm accepting new member chats for the time being and will also continue supporting current long term members. 🔓 Should I be available, expect us to talk for around an hour via live chats. Otherwise, expect a response from me within the same week and willingness to schedule a time that works for the both of us. We can also message intermittently through offline messaging. Your best bet to get a hold of me is reaching out on Sunday Afternoons (EST) or rather what I hope to make them - Service Sundays ✨ * Green circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I am available to welcome new member chats and to follow up anyone who I have already spoken with.  * Orange circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I'm occupied giving my undivided attention to someone in a member chat or am focusing on other tasks. I may not be able to have 1-on-1 chats at that time but am open to coordinating dates and times for future chats. * Red circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I am unavailable to take on new member chats but am open to coordinating dates and times for future chats.  Please refer to my "Categories" section for a list of topics I'm available to discuss with members as well as ones that I'm personally familiar with, marked with stars. If you decide to reach out, please detail in your initial messages the topic you'd like support with and how you'd like to be supported. ✅ ------------------------- 🔊 Listening Style Brad here! (he/him) 👋 If you're reading this, it's nice to e-meet you! My goal is to be a supportive pillar for you through formal conversations or through casual conversations. Formal conversations prioritize emotional support and active listening while casual conversations are more open ended. Regardless of what you need, you can count on me to keep our conversations confidential, judgment-free and positive.  Friendly Reminders  * Times might be tough, but together, we can prove that we're tougher 💪 * I hear you and I'm here for you 🫂 * This is a safe space and a familiar place 😌 * I'm not a mental health expert, but that doesn't stop me from being professional ⭐ ------------------------- 📘 Day in the Life  On 7 Cups, you can find me most active on Sundays supporting members in 1-on-1 chats as a listener and occasionally actively commenting in the group chats and on forum posts.    Outside of 7 Cups, you can find me failing to understand why I keep losing the majority of chess matches to my little brother, practicing self-care by working on jigsaw puzzles, and winding down for the day with a good book. 🙏 My biggest challenge with hobbies and interests is finding the time to engage with them all because they are JUST. SO. MANY! Wanting to get back into running, wanting to play the piano, listening to a wide variety of music and watching a suspenseful show are just a few of those many.   ------------------------- 📄 Personal Statement  My goal is to pay it forward: There's a positive cycle and relationship between listeners and members where both benefit from supportive conversations. Members rely on support from listeners to overcome challenges and listeners rely on members to develop a greater sense of self worth and make a difference. We all have a part to play in making the world a better place for ourselves as both individuals and as a community. By pledging to pay it forward and remembering how much I appreciate what I've gotten from 7 Cups, I hope to inspire others to pay it forward as well and to continue the positive cycle. To develop as a listener, I've undergone verification, graduated from the Quality Listening Program, completed the internship program on 7 Cups and will consult more training to continue learning and growing.  Listening to you,  This is Brad 😇 ------------------------- 📨 Resources for Members 7 Cups Welcome Pack: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CL9Yu_6zixlapOjdrhCgKLy9JN5wY3HWdrGH7PIO2WI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.p2ah3g8frtbm  7 Cups Basics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M53Nm5-pbtxx2_jKfXYgYzo3NgXxjNfMwfzVSRC1rZg/edit?tab=t.0  Crisis Resources:  https://www.7cups.com/crisis/      https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026242213-Non-Crisis-Suicidal-Thoughts      Depression:  https://www.7cups.com/forum/depression/ResourcesforDepression_214/DepressionSupportResourcesMasterpost_251542/   On Narcissism & Manipulation:  https://abusewarrior.com/mental-health/manipulation-tactics/  -------------------------

It means the damage no longer controls our lives  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Let’s Walk Together: Sometimes, being human can feel heavy.

Letter to Every Shattered Soul: There's a strong bounding between Body and soul... If Body effects by something, it causes us to do abnormal behaving by a physical appearance... We take medicine treatment and therapies for recovering... But if a soul get effects by any incident or reasons... It may effect also our mental health... It needs a soulful treatment to managing it, and religious supplications really helps to empower soul and body both... Inner and outer peace of our lives.. We are human we are connected with nature.. And the biggest connection of ourselves..is with our Own Creator... Allah subhanahu wa tala Created His creation in a really beautiful mannar... Allah (God) knows best , what are His Servants needs ... Remembering Him in a time... When no one hears, help, and support... But Allah does... It make us feels that we aren't alone in this whole world... The connection between Creator and His creation really means alot. It really helps to recover our sorrows, saddnes and un balanceness in our life .. There's no beautiful feeling more thn this that a broken person speak to Almighty... With love and emotions, and a person must know ..that His Lord , listening... Understanding..and answering ..by changing the worse things of my life into good... ♥ 1 of My Favorite Verses of the Quran: Change Bad with Good, Surah fusselat 30. Surely, those who say: “Our Lord is Allah,” and then go straight, the angels will descend upon them: “Do not fear, and do not grieve, but rejoice in the news of the Garden which you were promised. 31. We are your allies in this life and in the Hereafter, wherein you will have whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you call for. 32. As Hospitality from an All-Forgiving, Merciful One.” 33. And who is better in speech than someone who calls to Allah, and acts with integrity, and says, “I am of those who submit”? 34. Good and evil are not equal. Repel evil with good, and the person who was your enemy becomes like an intimate friend. 35. But none will attain it except those who persevere, and none will attain it except the very fortunate. 36. When a temptation from the Devil provokes you, seek refuge in Allah; He is the Hearer, the Knower. This is my Favorite poetry fromm Allama Muhammad Iqbal, What effects my Life: لکھنا نہیں آتا، تو میری جان، پڑھا کر، If you don't know how write, Thn O' soul do Read, ہوجائے گی تیری مشکل آسان، پڑھا کر، Your all Difficulties will be solved, Do Read, لاریب، تیری روح کو تسکین ملے گی، O Sparkling Star, Your soul will be satisfied, تو کرب کے لمحات میں ،قرآن پڑھا کر ، When you feel distress, there is Qur'an, do Read, پڑھنے کہ لیے گر تجھے کچھ نہ ملے تو، Nd yet, You don't find else to read, چہرے پہ لکھے درد کے عنوان پڑھا کر، Then see the painful faces of poor , do read. اے انساں، آجائے گا تجھے جینے کا قرینہ، O Human' you will get learn the best way of living, تو سرورِ کونین ﷺ کے فرمان پڑھا کر. Just the Sayings of RasulAllahﷺ, do read.

“Don’t fall in love with a curious one. They will want to know who you are, where you come from, what your family was like. They will look through your photographs. They will ask what that raised eyebrow meant. They will want to know your favorite food, your favorite color, your favorite person. They’ll learn to cook your favorite meals. The curious people don’t settle for your shell, they want the insides. They want what makes you heavy, what makes you uneasy, what makes you scream. for joy, and anger, and heartbreak. They won’t let a sigh go unexplained. They will want to know what they did. Exactly what they did to make you love them. “What time was it? What did I say? What did I do? How did you feel?” They will unbutton your shirtand read every scar every mark every curve. They will dissect your every limb, every organ, every thought, every being then walk back home. The heart is a mystery only for so long. There is no ache like loving a curious one who chases every falling star and never catching one. Who comes and sees and conquers and leaves. I’ve fallen in love with a curious one. Maybe one day he will take the train back home and be curious enough to read one last message from me carved on a seat. “There’s a curiosity in you that will move mountains some day as effortlessly as you’ve moved me for years.””
