@jesusredeemedme2425 I'm not sure to be honest, I won't try to minimize your pain by sharing my inexperienced opinions.

You do deserve the same amount of kindness and compassion which you give to others. It's very hard to do that when you feel so tired and overwhelmed.. but you still do deserve to be kind to yourself ❤️

I appriciate you being there for others, but it's also okay to be there for you too, take some rest, have some time for you. Do what makes you feel alive and happy. I'm here for you, and you matter a lot. 💖

Trust your instincts, and do what feels right to you, and whatever you choose to do, we'll still love you the same kiara 💝 Sending you *Biggg hugs* 🐾💕

@jesusredeemedme2425

All great questions. The self reflection on your ongoing resilience would seem to suggest a common thread,..perseverance.

I would not presume to guess your motivations, but it sounds like you keep trying, keep posting, keep caring because there is something worthwhile for you in doing so.

Sometimes perhaps the reason to keep trying can become a little harder to see when challenges mount up, and motivation can feel more difficult to maintain. And maybe it is in those times that we all need our cheerleaders to give us a little boost to help us see through the haze. So in that spirit I say huzzah for Kiara!

Hey, I can't say for sure but whatever is the reason, I'm happy that you are surviving and pulling through the challenges.

I appreciate your posts and compassion in the community etc, please stay strong.

All the best Kiara 💙

I like you Kiara, I've just woken after a night shift and my run cinema first as it helps keep my health on check. I've met and talk with some awesome people through Cups, being sensitive, caring and loving seem to be common traits we have in common. I'm not exactly young but I am young at heart not particularly humorous but cheeky at times, but I will always make time to talk with people I like. I know you said taking with me might be triggering but I just want to say the offer remains on the table if you ever change your mind.

Being sensitive and caring hasn't always been easy, lead to social awkwardness for most of my adult life, self protection, but the mask is off on Cups.

I'll reply to your list from yesterday with pleasure, hoping you might consider me a friend and I won't touch on food and cooking 🤪🤪

Jesus

In my opinion, these give you fuel to continue. By sharing love, being kind and helping others, you help yourself too❤️

@jesusredeemedme2425

You keep showing up, because life matters.

You matter.

Hope is the only anchor we have.

Yes, life gets too much and overwhelming at times.

But we need to see how previous of a gift it is.

You turn up here because you care.

Your voice resonates around cups with a resounding joy and welcome.

Your heart is so full of compassion.

And who would I annoy about my dislike of pineapple and explain why we should eat nothing more than nuggets 😂😂😂😂🩷

@jesusredeemedme2425

Good question. Heres a counter-question: what if you didnt?

Paints a bleak image, doesnt it? The hurt...its going to be there anyways. So why not love and live while we can? 

Thats how I see it. On the good days anyways. 

@jesusredeemedme2425 I would like to take a moment to appreciate all you do. You are incredible and make such a difference in our lives. Cups wouldn't be the same without you ❤️ we appreciate everything you do ❤️

If you are looking for a more unlicensed mental health reason, I would say your desire to keep giving is because you know how hard it is to feel alone and don't want anyone to experience it. So you do your best to make sure everyone is loved, cared for and included. And we really see and appreciate you for it, you make cups such a wonderful place ❤️
