Icebreaker Chain ๐
Hey hey, everyone! I hope you all are doing well ๐
I've found 7Cups to be an amazing community of members, listeners and leaders too ๐ All of us have an important role in helping our community grow stronger. And it has always been a pleasure for me to meet all these amazing people who make the community as beautiful as it is today!
So today, let's greet and know each other through a chain of icebreakers ๐
For everyone,
1. Introduce yourself and ask one icebreaker question for the next person to answer (Let's keep the questions appropriate and supportive at all times ๐)
2. Tag your fellow Cupsers so that they can answer the questions too and also continue this chain by repeating steps one and two!
The most important rule, don't forget to enjoy getting to know each other ๐
I'm opening this chain so that all you amazing people can carry this forward ๐
1. One Icebreaker question from me: If you could learn one new skill, what would it be? ๐
2. Tag your fellow 7Cupsers so they can join us too!

Heheh keep fighting for the right and for yourself always, lovely Arpi. ๐๐ช thankyou for tagging me @FighterArpi
Honestly, besides having a mix of different kinds of member chats (good and bad), I don't remember much from my first day! It was around 10 pm my time when I created though, that I remember xD
How about your first day? ๐ฎ
@FighterArpi

@emotionalTalker2260

@FighterArpi
lol Arpii xD, making mistakes is the way to learn, look at you now doing super amazing in cups! Happy to have you here. โค *cookies for Arpii*
@FighterArpi oh wow I almost forgot about it because it's been 5 years HAHAHA
I joined as a member and I thought 7cups was an app for diet streak and stuff because of the growth path. I mostly lurked in the rooms and barely connected with listeners nor explored the forums. I also didn't know that there was a website for it!
I signed up as a listener a few weeks after and was able to learn more stuff and how things work.
@Erato
Great to know pizza ๐
@Erato Aww, diet streak haha. Who would've known then, this community would mean so muchโกโกโกโกโกโกโก
@FighterArpi I don't remember xD I didn't know about group chats and forums until I was offered to get verified hehe
@Erato @DonaldDraper Also please break in here, new folks!
Hey guys, this chain is a little hard to break into, but I'm doing it!
I made up this username to use as an email address when I was in the hospital. I was admitted after not sleeping for several days. I was not allowed to use my email for some reason - my doctors and husband decided that it was detrimental to me, not sure why. So I had to create a new account. Then I decided to embrace my diagnosis and email my friends from this account. Everyone found it amusing. When I got out of the hospital, I forgot it... until I had to choose a name for 7 Cups!
@Erato Thank you Era for the tag, and Starry Night would look really really pretty๐ฎ
*noms and shares pizza*
@amazingNutella24 ๐๐๐Amazing posts as always! Thank you for tagging me๐ค
I would love to learn how to sketch! ๐
What's a short message you'd like to give your younger self?
Tagging: @Bubblegumwings1234 @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @DonaldDraper @emotionaltalker2260 @erato
@Moonlemon48
dont care about what others think of you, just be you. โ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ฅ
@emotionalTalker2260 That's a good one emo๐ค
@Moonlemon48
thank you ๐๐ฅ๐
@Moonlemon48
Such a thoughtful one, Moon! Not surprised coming from you though. โค thankyou for tagging me.
Message for my younger self, "Things change sooner than you'd imagine or want them to, cling tightly to all things that remind you of love, kindness and everything worth living for, in life, you'll need those someday." ๐ปโค
Would you like to write one to young Moon too? ๐ค
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Aww, thank you๐ค
Firstly, I would give younger moon a tight big hug and say that it's okay to not be perfect all the time. Secondly, Please dont be so hard on yourself. People leave- yes but if you have the courage to say goodbye then you also have the potential to say hello to someone else. Lastly, drink enough water xD
@Moonlemon48
*Sending some tasty water to younger Moon* ๐ฏ๐ And also hugs, if okay ๐ You iz amazing!
@amazingNutella24 *hugs Nutella tight* thank you๐ค
@Moonlemon48 awww sending tight hugs for young and present Moonโค
That's a lovely message and so on point! And yes, always stay hydrated xD
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou "cling tightly to all things that remind you of love, kindness and everything worth living for, in life, you'll need those someday." OMG can I use this quoteโ๏ธ๐ธ
Aww, you ofcourse can hehe! ๐ธโค @Moonlemon48
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Check bioโฟโฟ
@Moonlemon48 ahhhhh me heart's smiling! *hugs tightly* ๐ขโค
(Also that was faster than lightening lol)
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Moons light values time hahah! *big hug*
@Moonlemon48 I can surely see that xD
Sun values Moon and Moon's light vv much! ๐ค
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou โ"Talk to the sun or even the moon, both will tell you it's okay to disappear when things don't go right. But it's important to come back and spread your light"โ
(I don't remember where I found this but it's beautiful)
@Moonlemon48 aw thankyou for sharing, Moon! I've come across this one too, and I find it beautiful also. Beautiful, comforting and reassuring. โค (Sun and Moon seem wise enough to know when to disappear and when to shine๐ค)
Tagging more people. @cherryyblossoms@kyleborg@nerdtastic01

@KyleBorg yayy! Achive bigโก
โyou did great, please don't be so dependent on someone ever againโ
I've nothing else honestly (เน'แด')ใ
thanks for the tag ๐
@cherryyblossoms You really did great and I am very proud of you for coming this farโ
@Moonlemon48
Stay away from men all men ... know that what is going to happen was out of your control not your fault you shouldn't have been left with him you were 5 so not much of a choice to be in that situation. Remember to not try to grow up so fast just because what happened to you ๐๐ค try enjoying being a kid ... Tell Mrs k what happened Instead of keeping quiet and trying to deal with it by yourself to make him stop he was 24 you were 11 he knew better. Find someone who you feel safe with and never let them go . Learn to be on your own no guy no parents just by yourself and not be scared of being alone.
@Fallen1sadness *wraps you in tight comfy hugs* โค you are in a safe place now, you've come far, I am so proud of you. โค
@Fallen1sadness *sits with you and offers comfy cookies* I am here for you and I hear where you're coming from, I know it is *never* easy to trust and share these experiences. I am so so proud of you for speaking about it here. Look how far you've come? Isn't it amazing? You've come this far and still are as awesome as always:) You're safe here, I assure you๐ค Take good care of yourself okay? โค

๐ big question for everyone
regarding 7 cups which is better: website or app?
my talent would be to read people, like to be able to tell what they are thinking just by looking at them.
