Reflection on 1 Year

Hi Community,

Today marks my first Cuppaversry on 7cups! (sorry if i spelt that wrong) I have been a member for a year now 💜 Today, the 16th of September marks a remarkable journey of opening up, courage, hope and so much more 💜 Throughout my journey I have been through ups and downs, i have lived through so much violence and hardships but I have made it through with strength 💜 But I couldn't have done it without this community 💜 Thank you all for all the support and help throughout my journey on here 💜.

And some days went wrong 💜 Some days were happy 💜 Some days were beautiful than ever 💜 Some days were the days where I didn't want to wake up or even be human because it hurt so much 💜 But I found this place 💜 And even though, yes there were some obstacles I came across here, people have always been here to support me and encourage me through this beautiful road 💜 I dedicate my journey here to so many people who have been there and have made me smile all the way through 💜 Everyday, was a new day and I woke up to some really beautiful people on here, people who had their innocence stolen, people who had suffered so much 💜 but they made it through. 💜 we got through it together. And even though this journey has not ended yet , I am so thankful for so many of you here. The fact that you exist is just a blessing 💜

From the forums to chatrooms to just being a little teenie, to the little smiles and the laugh, and the jokes, the fun, the love, the anger, the passion, the cries, it was all worth it 💜 because it has taught me to be me. To be I . 💜 I have loved every single moment 💜 Some days were tough, and for someone to listen was the world to me 💜 To the leaders and the mentors, to the members, to listeners, to everyone , I have loved every bit of getting to know you all 💜 I have loved meeting new people and discovering new ideas 💜

And to all my teenie friends, I'm sorry 💜 I am sorry for whenever I said something that hurt you. I am sorry for every single moment that you felt burdened by me 💜 i am sorry for anything your mad at me about or anything. But our friendship is beautiful 💜 You have all been so supportive and caring towards me, how could i have made it without you all? 💜 I have made friends. 💜 I have almost made a family. And i fell in love with it 💜 You have all been by my side through so much and i love you all. You all have so much energy and love and I couldn't have asked for more. Through the cookies and the hugs and the jokes 💜 The Spaceship missions and going to space 💜 I love you all from the bottom of my heart. 💜 I am sending you all the love and hugs if its okay💜

Now my oldie friends, through forums i have built so many friendships with you all 💜 you all have been part of me family on here 💜 and even though, I struggled you have supported me and cared for me 💜 You have replied to my forums 💜 You have encouraged me 💜 If you were an ATL you pmed me 💜 we had chats on forums 💜 we laughed 💜 we talked 💜 you were there for me during the darkest times 💜 we were there for each other and it was beautiful . I have loved getting to know you all 💜 You all mean the world to me and have brought so much light to my life 💜 You have taught me so much and I couldn't have asked for anymore than that. Thank you for everything you do in this community 💜 You are an inspirational and a spark of beauty💜 *sending hugs and love if its okay*

To everyone 💜 you make this place beautiful 💜 and i love it. I have seen people move through the teenie side to the oldie side 💜 and even though i am still 14 years old, i am so proud of how much people have grown on here 💜

This day i dedicate to everyone and not to myself. 💜 Thank you for everything.

When I first joined on September 16th 2022, I was lost 💜 Confused. Didn't understand myself or anyone else 💜 I was going through so much 💜 Violence at home to loss to the bullying and the loneliness to the most terrible days and I won't tell you the deepest and darkest stories but it was a rocky journey , a tough one 💜

I joined PAT later on 💜 A chance to appreciate people who meant alot to me 💜 Who had been there for me 💜 It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life 💜 I loved being there for people and making others smile. It was remarkable meeting people 💜 and creating joy through small things!💜 So thank you to the Peer Appreciation Team, wheather your a former member of the team or a new one 💜 Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜 For everything. I have now left, but this memory has lasted within me 💜

I later on became a Forum Supporter for Positivity and Gratitude and Newbie Hub and it was a gift 💜Later on I became a Sharing Circle Host for a small portion of time To learning about people's experiences to just having fun 💜 it meant the world to me and I had so so much fun 💜 we grow and learn together in this journey and it was beautiful meeting so many people in the chatrooms 💜 to just being ourselves and having a laugh 💜 and sometimes we struggled, sometimes we cried, sometimes we screamed but we were there for each other 💜 and i love that. It was an absolute gift and I made so many memories 💜 Thank you to everyone who made that journey just a little more special!

And later on, recently I joined Depression Support as a Forum Supporter and its lovely 💜 I have met so many people 💜 and i have loved being on forums 💜 loved writing forums 💜 loved everything about my experience. I love everyone on here 💜 for being so supportive and lovely and even sharing struggles is just so courageous 💜 It didn't surprise me to see how many people were so appreciative and caring 💜

And every single role I encountered 💜 and every single day i was here 💜 was more than anything i could ask for 💜 Every person on here is worthy of love and joy and I can't be any prouder of all of you. This journey continues from now on. And i can't wait to create more memories.
