In a space as emotionally vital as 7 Cups, changing lives one conversation at a time, I believe it's important to occasionally pause and reflect on our collective journey, to look back at where we came from and where we are now. Members and listeners, f

I came to 7 Cups through loneliness but found so much more. I felt I'd found my tribe where I could be honest and open looking for help and to help others along the way.

Will  I stay ? I honestly don't know, I'm feeling hurt, misunderstood and ignored by some, opening up to much seems to be a thread killer to often.

Hello! 👋😊

Your honesty really touched me.

It takes courage to keep showing up and being open when past experiences have been painful.

Thank you for sharing this. 🤍

@Heather225 for better mental health and stayed for better mental health

@Heather225,

I first came to 7 Cups looking for… a space where I could understand people better and maybe offer a little support where it’s needed.

I stayed because… I realized how powerful even small conversations can be. Sometimes just listening, or being present for someone, can make a difference in ways we don’t always see immediately.

And somewhere along the way, this space also teaches you a lot about yourself… about patience, understanding, and being a little kinder, both to others and to your own self 🤍

I came to provide an ear to those without a voice, without support, who often feel misunderstood and alone.

I stayed because of the people who bring light to my troubled often dark world. They provide smiles.  fuzziness, intelligence. openness and are pure joy to mingle and celebrate chaotic merriment with 😏

I first came to 7 Cups hoping to support others. I stayed because listening to people ended up healing parts of me too.
