Love is a fascinating thing.

Relationship Stress / by HelpfulPug

33 minutes ago

...See more Love, is such a fascinating thing, but most importantly, they were all right when they said it was a strong force, because it really is, a really strong thing. And that's good in many ways.. it's what allows a relationship to go on through so much hardship, it's what makes things okay, what makes your partner stay even when horrible things are happening in your life, what makes them stay when the situation is terrible, because love.. does not let itself be situational. And that.. that is a beautiful thing. But what happens when the situations that that loves sprouted from and flourished.. were temporary. That maybe it was only that situation, that time, in which that part of you was there to bring love and that of the same for your partner. What happens when things continue? Do you leave each other? Do things just adjust? I wish that to be true and maybe in some it is, but most of life isn't so kind. No. You stay, you keep going. Keep trying to love your partner and all that they are and they keep trying to love and it.. Love becomes suffocating. It is sad. Love has a fancy way of making itself a priority in your life. I would say for many of us, it is. But it's just that which is the problem. Love is not adverse to conflict, to burying, to molding, to denying, to.. suppressing. Infatuation isn't true love and true love isn't always long lasting love.. We want to be everything for our partner, to be perfect for our partners, and to make everything okay, to always make everything okay. That means shoving down anything that is wrong, any part of you which is not for the relationship, that isn't loved... But you cannot do this forever and be happy.. because that is not you. That is not the full story, that is not all of you. And what this does is, eventually it does come up, as issues, as conflict, as resentment. We are taught so commonly, some by others, but most importantly by ourselves that these things are bad. But it's ironically sad that all things in which are bad are not actually bad. They are sad. We don't want to face them, we want to satisfy them or fix them. We don't want to recognize them.. and because of this, all this sadness which is trying to tell you something, is trying to reveal something, is treated as if it is anything but the truth, because love overpowers all, because you must certainly know you love them, right? But you don't.. you love the comfort of the familiar, you love not being alone, you love what once was, you love what has happened, you love what you once were together, but you don't love them. Yet you deny that truth, you are in denial. I always hated the idea that people outgrow each other, the idea that people change and continue changing until the puzzle pieces that you are just don't click right anymore, don't fit anymore.. I don't see it this way. I don't believe it to be true. I view the self in relation to time as the whole picture. Yourself when you were younger and yourself when you are older, are both the same person. You did not change into someone new, I wouldn't even say you evolved. Because I believe the past and the future coexist. You now is not who you are. It is who you have been and who you will be and all that has happened in between which is who you are. And sometimes, we love someone, but we never loved all of them. We loved them today, but humans are very complex beings and that complexity expands across time, yet we are so often over confident in our belief that we will love our partners forever. But time is a canvas, our partner is the painting. We cannot love just one part of the painting showing now, for forever, because eventually that curtain will shift, eventually that curtain will fall greater, as time passes, and you will see the full painting. If you cannot appreciate it, let alone bare it. You must know that this is not torture directed at you for your sadness, it is the truth.. This is not to say love is not worth pursuing, not worth enjoying, it's not even to say it's not worth committing, but it is worth admitting that something isn't beautiful because it last.. and loving someone forever? That is a rare rare kind of love. It is possible.. but it often takes more searching and more heartbreak than one ever wishes to do. So what is the catharsis? What is final truth I have to give? Love truly is beautiful and it is dire that we, you, experience it, that you feel Eros's touch. But you should enjoy love for the times you experience it, the experiences you live in it, but do not cling to them.. as the past is the past. Love from one time cannot be reclaimed without the other. Understand that some things are not forever.

Hello, It’s Lex! 🌸🦋

Newbie Hub / by LexListens2025

...See more 🌷 Hi there, I’m Lex! Welcome in. ♡ ╭─────────────── ⋆｡°✩°｡⋆ ───────────────╮ A little corner to meet the listener behind the profile. A place where you don’t have to have the perfect words, explain everything perfectly, or pretend that you’re okay. 💙 ╰─────────────── ⋆｡°✩°｡⋆ ───────────────╯ Hi everyone! ♡ I thought I would take a little moment to properly introduce myself and share a bit about who I am as a listener here on 7 Cups. I’ve been a part of this community for quite some time now, and being a listener has become something incredibly meaningful to me. There is something so special about being able to sit with someone during a difficult moment and remind them that they don’t have to carry everything completely alone. I’m someone who genuinely loves listening. Not because I think I have all the answers I definitely don’t! but because I believe sometimes what we need most is simply a person who will stay, listen, and try to understand. 🌸 🦋 My listening style My approach to listening is very much centered around validation, empathy, patience, and understanding. I’m not here to tell you what you should do or immediately try to fix everything. Instead, I like to give you space to talk about what is actually going on inside your head and heart. Sometimes that means asking gentle, open-ended questions. Sometimes it means reflecting something back to you. Sometimes it means sitting with you in the messy feelings without trying to make them disappear. And sometimes… you just need to say, “Today was awful,” and have someone respond with, “Yeah, that sounds really hard.” And that's okay too. 🤍 You don't have to make your feelings sound reasonable before you share them with me. You don't have to apologize for taking up space. You don't have to worry about being “too much.” You are allowed to show up exactly as you are. 🌼 A little about my journey here Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to take on quite a few different roles within the 7 Cups community. I’ve been a Verified Listener, Peer Supporter, Adult Teen Listener (ATL), Chat Supporter, Listener Chatroom Supporter, Chatroom Mentor, Community Leader, Listener Verifier, Teen Chatroom Mentor, Community Moderator, Smile Spreader, and part of the Listener Coaching Team. I’ve also had the opportunity to mentor and support other listeners, including helping newer listeners find their footing and feel more confident in their own listening journeys. Every role has taught me something different, but one thing has stayed the same through all of them: I really, really love being here. 🫶🏻 I love watching someone come into a chat feeling completely overwhelmed and slowly feel a little lighter after being heard. I love seeing new listeners discover that they can make a difference. I love the little moments of connection that happen here — the ones that might seem small from the outside but can mean so much to the person experiencing them. 💌 A little milestone I’m proud of Over my time here, I’ve been incredibly lucky to receive 180+ reviews and a 5-star rating. ⭐️ Those numbers honestly mean a lot to me, but not because they feel like an achievement to collect. Each review represents a person who trusted me enough to share a small piece of their world with me. And that is something I never want to take for granted. Behind every number is a real person. A real conversation. A real moment where someone decided to reach out instead of keeping everything bottled up. That means so much more to me than any number ever could. 🌷 🕯️ So, what can you expect from me? You can expect me to meet you where you are. You can ramble. You can cry. You can be angry. You can be confused. You can say the same thing ten different ways because you don't know how else to explain it. You can tell me about the good things too! ♡ You don't have to come into a chat with a huge crisis. Maybe you're having a bad day. Maybe you need to vent about something tiny that has been bothering you all day. Maybe you just feel lonely and want some company. You are still welcome here. I want my chats to feel like a little safe corner where you can take a breath and let your guard down for a while. 🌙 I can't promise that I'll always know exactly what to say, but I can promise that I'll listen with care, treat your feelings seriously, and do my best to make sure you feel heard and respected. 🌸 If you need someone… If you're reading this because you're having a difficult day, feeling alone, or simply wishing you had someone to talk to, you are welcome here. You can comment below with anything you'd like to share, even if it's just a simple “I could use someone to talk to.” I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can. 💌 And if you'd rather keep things private, you're always welcome to message me directly when I'm available. You don't need to know exactly what you want to say. You don't need to have everything figured out. You don't need to make your feelings smaller. Just come as you are. 🤍 ╭─────────────── ⋆｡°✩°｡⋆ ───────────────╮ 🌷 A little reminder before you go: You are not a burden for needing someone. You are not “too much” for having feelings. And you don't have to go through every difficult moment completely by yourself. If you need a safe space to talk, there's always a place for you here. 🫶🏻 ╰─────────────── ⋆｡°✩°｡⋆ ───────────────╯ 💙 Come say hello below! Tell me something about yourself, share how your day is going, or simply leave a little hello. I'd love to meet you. 🌸 — Lex ♡
