 🌞 Introduction 🌞  Life is hard; we all know it. It's full of positive and negative moments, very few of which we have complete control over. You don't predict the future, the future predicts you.

How you feel is perfectly okay. 🌞 Please be aware that I will not be offering advice, as it could be very harmful to both you and your situation, and could cause offence. 🌞 You will suffer no judgement from me. 🌞 Our chat will be as supportive and comforting as possible. 🌞 Finally, I will make sure that you are heard. Your voice deserves to be listened to. -------------------------  🌻 My Involvements 🌻   🌻 Quality 🌻  o Verified Adult-Teen Listener: I completed an interview and a mock chat with a highly experienced listener to show that I'm suitable to chat with teens, and a listener of high quality.  🌻 o Listener Verifier Team: I verify listeners through the Verified Listener project!  🌻 o [Teen] Quality Mentoring: I mentor adult and teen listener quality!  🌻 o Quality Mentor Leading: I lead the Safety Team.

Hello! I am Lucy, a Community Moderator. Unfortunately, I'm not available for 1-1 support chats 🪐🥦 I'm also known as: - DJ Broc🥦 - CommunityModCool - BroccoMod - Astrolucy - Loosey Goosey

💙 Please read the “To Members” and "Expectations" section before messaging. 💙 To Members Hey there — I’m really glad you found your way here. This is a judgment-free space where you’re welcome to share, vent, process, or just breathe for a bit. I’ve been an experienced listener on 7 Cups since June 2016, and when we chat, the focus stays on you. 🗨️ How chats work * Live chats are available when I’m online and typically last 30–60 minutes * I’ll always let you know upfront how much time we have * Because of work constraints, I also offer an “offline” option: Think of it like a calm, back-and-forth message exchange You can send me messages anytime, and I’ll respond when I’m around Cups Both options are equally valid — choose what feels safest and most comfortable for you 💙 🌱 What to expect from me I’m here to listen with empathy, respect boundaries, and create a space where you don’t have to filter yourself. I won’t share much about my own life because this space is yours. I offer emotional support and reflection, and while we can gently explore ideas together, I don’t give advice. I specialize in the topics listed on my profile, but I’m open to most conversations except: Sexting, Active/Passive suicidal ideation, Active Self-harming during chat, or Homicidal thoughts If you’re feeling in crisis or unsafe, please check out the crisis resources at 7cups.com/crisis — you deserve immediate support. You may also see me around the site moderating rooms or posting in forums. If I’m online, feel free to reach out — and if I’m not, you’re always welcome to leave a message. Oh! One last thing — my favorite color is blue 💙 What’s yours? 🫖 To Listeners Hi fellow listener! I don’t do random casual chats, but I am here for all things 7 Cups–related. You’re welcome to message me for: * Mentoring or guidance * Peer support (especially after tough member chats) * Chat support questions * Help editing or polishing forum posts Just let me know what you’re reaching out for, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. 🎧 My roles on 7 Cups I currently serve in the following roles: * Chat Support * Quality Mentor * Peer Support * Chatroom Mentor * Community Mentor (Forum Moderator) * Community Reflections Moderator * Community Mentor Leader for the Listener Learning Journey Subcommunity * Global Group Moderator * Anonymous Evaluator If you’re unsure where to go, need clarification on listener roles, or just want a steady human to point you in the right direction — I’ve got you.

I like talking to members who choose me 😇 I see you. I believe you. You are not alone. The bad things that happened to you do not make you a bad person. You are inherently worthy of love and belonging. I'm here to help you recognize your agency and power. ❤️

I care about people and am always trying to do my best to understand the world around me. I try to take a non-judgmental and balanced view of life and I have optimistic tendencies. *** Please note: I am NOT currently available to start any new chats - sorry 😳 ***

Hello there! My name is Eden, and I am a Community Moderator. Unfortunately, I'm not available for 1-1 support chats.

                                                                                           Hello! :) My pronouns are they / them. Usually my listening time will be around an hour. If you are contacting me, please let me know in a few words what our conversation will be about. I will let you know if I can support you with this topic.

Please do not message me from a listener account to chat about personal issues. Use a member account for that.

Not taking new chats. ------------------------- Coming, going, the waterbirds don't leave a trace, don't follow a path. I'm Charlie and I'm trained, verified and experienced as an active listener for both adults and teens. I like to support people who are struggling with something. Also people who aren't struggling with anything. And people who aren't sure whether they're struggling with anything or not. Please do not message me hoping to start a chat. I am not taking new chats. The poem is said to be by Eihei Dōgen, a Japanese poet who wrote it around eight hundred years ago. I don't know why I like it. I just do. My photo is the moon shining on the sea. There's some darkness and some clouds there but the light of the moon shines on everything. I like this too. Thank you for reading my profile. I'm glad you are here! ------------------------- In an emergency or a crisis: If you are in an emergency or a crisis—for example, if you are at immediate risk of suicide or other serious harm—7 Cups is not the right place, because we cannot deal with emergencies or provide crisis counselling. Click here for information about getting help: Get emergency or crisis support [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/howto/crisis] Listener support: I'm happy to support other listeners with issues related to listening, although I don't have any official role. Please do not message me from a listener account to chat about personal issues. Use a member account for that. To understand why, see: Listener and Member Roles [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/GlensThoughts_143/ListenerandMemberRoles_210/1/] Schedule: I don't have a fixed schedule. I'm online some weekdays between about 4:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. US Eastern Time. In the UK this is 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. On other days and at weekends I'm often online too, but at times that are not predictable. If you message me or tag me in a forum I'm usually able to respond within a day or two.

Hello! I am a Community Mod named Willow. I’m not available for 1-1 chats. The Italian mod 🍝🤌according to Anna 

Hi there! Welcome to 7 Cups :) I’m part of the Admin team as a Safety Specialist. I'm also a trained active teen and adult listener and I like to support people struggling with about anything. I came here to find help myself and I did and it made me feel a lot better and I want to do the same for others by listening to them. I love to read and listen to music. You can vent out, think out loud, talk about anything you like and I will be here to listen to you without judging you at all as I know how hard it is to open up. I want you to feel safe with me while you talk and know that I am here for you. I am: * A Safety Admin on 7 Cups * A Teen Ambassador * An Adult - Teen Listener Just know that I’m here for you :)

***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
