 Hello! My name is Heather and helping others has always been a passion of mine. When I accept 1-on-1 chats, I mainly accept loneliness & anxiety chats as those two topics I have much life experience in.  Unfortunately, mental health care is expensive and I understand the struggle. Even though I volunteer and can't provide any advice or solutions, I want members to feel at ease knowing they have someone who cares and will listen and not have to stress about paying a professional.   I do not accept sexual health or inappropriate chats.   I do accept casual chats  Availability Mentees: I check in on messages multiple times a day.  1 on 1 chat: occasionally accept chats as I work 5/6 days a week.

And he always answered: I believe in the God of Spinoza. Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the great rationalists of 17th century philosophy, along with Descartes. According to Spinoza, God would say: “Stop praying. I want you to go out into the world and enjoy your life. I want you to sing, have fun and enjoy everything I've made for you. “Stop going into those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and saying they are my house. My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. That's where I live and there I express my love for you. “Stop blaming me for your miserable life; I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing. Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. So don't blame me for everything that others made you believe. “Stop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son's eyes—you will find me in no book! “Stop asking me, ‘Will you tell me how to do my job?’ Stop being so scared of me. I do not judge you or criticize you, nor get angry or bothered. I am pure love. “Stop asking for forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive. If I made you, I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies, and best of all, free will. Why would I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How could I punish you for being the way you are, if I'm the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity? What kind of god would do that? “Respect your peers, and don't give what you don't want for yourself. All I ask is that you pay attention in your life—alertness is your guide. “My beloved, this life is not a test, not a step on the way, not a rehearsal, not a prelude to paradise. This life is the only thing here and now—and it is all you need. “I have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues, no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record. You are absolutely free to create in your life. It’s you who creates heaven or hell. “Live as if there is nothing beyond this life, as if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist. Then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. And if there is an afterlife, rest assured that I won't ask if you behaved right or wrong, I'll ask, ‘Did you like it? Did you have fun? What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn?’ “Stop believing in me; believing is assuming, guessing, imagining. I don't want you to believe in me, I want you to believe in you. I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck in your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea. “Stop praising me. What kind of egomaniac God do you think I am? I'm bored with being praised. I'm tired of being thanked. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of yourself, your health, your relationships, the world. Express your joy! That's the way to praise me. “Stop complicating things and repeating as a parrot what you've been taught about me. Why do you need more miracles? So many explanations? “The only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, that this world is full of wonders.” ✿ڿڰۣ— John Roedel (author): “Me: Hey God. God: Hello. Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together? God: I would rather not. Me: Why? God: Because you aren't a puzzle. Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground? God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back. Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down! God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go. Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me? God: Only the very best pieces of you. Me: I'm scared of changing. God: I keep telling you - You Aren't Changing!! You Are Becoming! Me: Becoming who? God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it. Me: There goes another piece. God: Yep. Let it be. Me: So ... I'm not broken? God: Of course not! - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day.

The purpose there was for each individual voice to contribute to collective decisions for the benefit of the group. 𓇢𓆸I believe that in sharing our personal wisdom, support and validation, the group as a whole is enriched greatly and balance and equality are created and respected. 𓇢𓆸Each voice gets the chance to be heard, and in turn, each person develops their own voice. 𓇢𓆸By listening to each voice and incorporating each of our personal wisdom, we can integrate the insights and lived experience of others into our own mentality and coping mechanisms, and become better able to manage the stresses of modern society. 𓇢𓆸Trying a new approach, or seeing something from another perspective, sometimes gives the fresh air necessary to breathe on old thinking and rustle it up to give energy for movement and growth. 𓇢𓆸We also can learn new vocabulary to describe our emotions and become more emotionally literate. For some of us, learning the vocabulary of the heart is a big journey. 𓇢𓆸Much personal growth can be attained when up to 7 minutes of focused sharing time is applied consistently and regularly towards internal sorting, and when the same person who is sharing is also learning to support others. 𓇢𓆸The cohesion of the Sharing Circle group can lend a feeling of community strength that may not be possible individually. 𓇢𓆸This link is about the origin of Sharing Circles within the groups of Indigenous Peoples: https://ravenspeaks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Sharing_Circle_Instructions_SECONDARY.pdf 𓇢𓆸Here's an article about Sharing Circles and the possibility for restorative justice through them: https://passthefeather.ca/sharing-circles/?v=e4b09f3f8402 𓇢𓆸Finally, there are some strong theoretical principles from group therapy that are taught through groups like the Sharing Circle.

Our Father is using in your life the same power that He used to raise Me from the dead. This Resurrection Power is what will allow the old you to die off and the new you to be reborn into my likeness. Trust Him to complete what He has begun." (Eph 1:19) ♡ (^=˃ᆺ˂) 𓇢𓆸 ♡🌹Advice for Strangers on: Life: The only thing predictable about Life, is that Life is Unpredictable. Grasp Life firmly, Ride the Waves, Hang on Tight for the Ride. Peace is worth working for with your Whole Life. We can all co-exist and share. Let’s do this. Prayer is under-rated in its Power to soothe, heal and calm the stresses of Everyday.  Love: Love Big. Love Always. The more Love you Deliver, you will receive Three-fold and more. The Universe is basically composed of Love actualized into a material form. Love Little. Love with small gestures of kindness. Wipe the dishes. Take care of the trash. Wash someone’s feet, with their permission of course. Give your loved one a back rub. Do something nice without expecting them to notice. God notices. Finance: Be frugal. Live simply within your means. Laugh often. Share. Don’t let money or the lack thereof stand in between you and your Splendid Dreams. Money is simply a construct and a tool. Money will come your way once you open the flow within yourself to receive the abundance that is waiting for you. Help People.  Education: Attain the very highest degree you can. Strive! A degree is something no one can ever take away from you. Your knowledge and skills are woven into your very essence. You will learn how to think without being attached to your thoughts. Rich discussions ensue. Life is more fun. The whole of the World awaits you. From Calm Rosebud for Benitta’s book. 𓇢𓆸 “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”  William Hutchinson Murray ♡ (^=˃ᆺ˂) 𓇢𓆸  “Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. "But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. "A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said. "We are at our best when we serve others.”  ✿ڿڰۣ—🌹 Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway. [Reportedly inscribed on the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta, and attributed to her. However, an article in the New York Times [http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/08/arts/08MAXI.html] has since reported (March 8, 2002) that the original version of this poem was written by Kent M.

My current responsibilities/roles on cups: - Anonymous Evaluator - Peer supporter - Academy's Internship Program mentor - Listener verifier - Listener discussions host - Peer appreciation team's smile spreader 7 cups Academy progress: - Quality Listening Program Graduate (honors) I am an INTP (logician).

Some years ago, I was in a very dark place. I wish I had someone to talk to, at least so that I could feel less lonely in this world. I've overcome a lot of struggles completely alone, but now I'm here to be the help I've never had. Everyone should use some help fighting their struggles, and that's why I'm here: I want to help you by listening to you and giving you all the support I can give. If I'm online, then please feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to contact. Glad you are here! Please don't ask me for sex chats, my personal phone number or social media profiles. I've been asked too many times and I always refused because of some past experience, so I'd rather you didn't ask. Thank you.

NOTE: Members --- Feel free to leave messages even when my status bubble is orange (meaning busy) or red (meaning inactive)! I will respond when I can, as soon as possible! Please don't think I forgot about you or ignored you if I don't respond right away. I reply to every message that comes in my inbox whenever I have the chance to!!! :) But in case I am unable to get to you right away and you urgently need help, please Browse Listeners [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] or use a Self Help Guide [https://www.7cups.com/supportGuides/selfHelpGuides.php] with these blue links here! And as for my fellow listeners --- If you need resources or help with chatting, please see this link [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerSupportGuides_1850/ListenerSupportGuidesMasterList_228279/] for the master list of listener resources. *************************************************************************** I am a member of the VERIFIER'S TEAM [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/JointheListenerVerifiersTeam_46938/], so fellow listeners --- if you would like to request a mock chat to become Verified, please read this post [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] thoroughly, check if you meet all the requirements, and message me to schedule a mock chat to try to get recognized for your high-quality active listening and get yourselves that blue Verified check bubble and badge! *************************************************************************** Hello everyone! I am a Verified Listener [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] here at 7 Cups! My name is Blue, pronouns she/her! (I also like the name Sky; you guys can pick which one you call me.) :D I am a person with a deep compassion and understanding for people and I will not be judgmental towards you for any of your issues. I love listening to people and check in with this site every day, so I will do my best to respond to your messages as quickly as I can. During the weekdays I might be a bit slow to respond, though, because I'm still in school and get overloaded with work a lot. But really, don't feel guilty venting to me—I WANT to be here! :) I have a lot of experience with mental health and listening to people about their struggles, although if your problems are outside of my ability to help (suicide, self harm, sexual harassment/assault, substance abuse, drug addiction, domestic violence, trauma from war, injuries, diseases, etc.), please seek professional help [https://www.7cups.com/crisis/] or paid therapy [https://www.7cups.com/online-therapy/?ob=1] with the resources in these links, as I am not trained or equipped to handle these things as a 17-year-old kid. As much as I would really, truly love to be here for all you guys through anything, I really can't do anything about threats to your safety. Those things should be referred to the authorities or a specialist. But otherwise, I am here for everyone, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexuality, relationship status, familial situation, etc. and feel free to talk to me like you would close friend. You deserve help, love, appreciation, and validation; I will do everything in my power to provide you with support! :) *************************************************************************** A bit about me: My birthday is October 21st (yay Libras!), my personality type is INFJ, and I was born in the Year of the Dog (2006)! My favorite color is blue (you probably guessed, haha), my favorite seasons are fall and summer, and my favorite food is Hawaiian Poké bowl. I'm Chinese-American, proud to be so, and have a lot of experience with managing and appreciating cultural identity. I think I'm somewhere on the ace spectrum [https://asexuality.org/] (probably demisexual and demiromantic), but I don't really care about labels that much, so you can just call me "ace" or "queer" or whatever; I just want to be myself. :) Music is my favorite thing, like, ever; I play flute, viola, sing in a choir, am in a marching band, and love musical theater. I love reading books, particularly YA fantasy, sci-fi, realistic fiction, and LGBTQ+ stories. My top 4...well, technically 5...favorite books are "You've Reached Sam" [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53086843-you-ve-reached-sam] by Dustin Thao, "They Both Die At The End" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33385229-they-both-die-at-the-end?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=fst8Sn2mzF&rank=1] by Adam Silvera, "These Violent Delights" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50892212-these-violent-delights] (and its sequel, "Our Violent Ends" [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/44084762]) by my literal queen Chloe Gong, and "Loveless" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42115981-loveless?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=2kKj6M3VXm&rank=1] by Alice Oseman, which I HIGHLY recommend to everyone because they are just so meaningful and explore human connections so deeply. I write my own stories and draw sometimes, although they really aren't that great at all, haha. When I graduate high school, I want to go to medical school (hopefully, haha) to become a reproductive endocrinologist so I can help families! :) I'm also a huge fan of Marvel, My Hero Academia, Lord of the Rings, Top Gun, Taylor Swift, The Piano Guys, Alan Walker, and '80s / '90s Chinese songs (I get that from my amazing mom, haha)! :D *************************************************************************** APPRECIATE A PERSON ON 7 CUPS WHO HAS GIVEN YOU A GOOD EXPERIENCE HERE [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsCXyPYjQ4dsfLMh2ZzXC4of1lEutJsSasbkzc6JLDq7b8ow/viewform]! <3 *************************************************************************** MY BEST FRIENDS ON 7 CUPS OF TEA WHO I LOVE AND APPRECIATE WITH ALL MY HEART: @kosikima -- truly a legit angel sent from heaven, so understanding and warm-hearted @mushro0m -- a friend that's such a joy to talk to, always accepting and there for me @amiableBunny4016 -- hardworking and selfless, overcomes obstacles like a warrior @inventiveMango9097 -- so strong and resilient, finds happiness even when it's dark @FaithfulZareia [https://www.7cups.com/@FaithfulZareia] -- the best, sweetest listener I know, always cheers me up when I'm down
