💗 how are you, really? 💗
hi everyone 🤍
i wanted to check in with you in a real, honest way not the quick “i’m fine” kind of way we’re all used to saying, but the kind where you can actually pause and feel into it for a second.
i’m a listener here on 7 cups, and something i care deeply about is creating a space where you don’t have to hide how you’re actually doing. you don’t have to water it down, make it sound better, or worry about being “too much.” your feelings are allowed to take up space here.
sometimes we move through the day on autopilot, pushing things aside just to get through. and before we know it, we haven’t really checked in with ourselves at all. or maybe we have checked in, but it feels hard to put into words.
whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, numb, exhausted, okay-ish, or even a mix of everything you’re not alone in that. all of it is valid.
so here’s a gentle question, with no pressure at all:
how are you truly feeling right now?
you can be as honest, messy, simple, or detailed as you want.
one word, a sentence, a whole vent it’s all welcome here.
and if you don’t feel ready to share, that’s okay too. just taking a moment to sit with the question matters.
i’m here, and i’m listening 💛
Really ? Put it politely, I am not doing too good if I’m honest this week more bad news on top of last 18 months not sure how much more I can take
Imm drowning. I can’t breathe.
Hi there! It's so sweet and thoughtful to have a listener give support to other listeners as well!
I'm new here and am currently trying to learn a little of everything. I'm looking forward to help people
Hope you're doing well!

What an amazing post you just shared !
I dont know if there are enough words to truly describe how I am. This lifelong journey is still unfolding, and Im constantly be surprised by the endless ways life changes us and reveals our true nature l.
A few decades ago I was young and wild. Today, I am older and, I hope, a little wiser. I have been loved deeply, and I have also been crushed. I have traveled around a bit, but perhaps even more importantly, I have traveled through different versions of myself.
Along the way, I have been touched by countless souls. Some I met in person, shared moments and memories of. Others I met through books. people who lived decades and centuries before I was born, who wrote their fears, dreams, doubts, and discoveries onto paper. Though we never existed in the same time, their thoughts have reached to me and often felt closer to my heart than many people I have met in my own era.
So, how am I ?
Im learning. living. breathing. And embracing this extraordinary and mysterious experience of being a human.
I feel fortunate to be the person I have become and grateful for every obstacle I survived, because every challenge, loss, and every new beginning has shaped who I am today.
How am I?
I am still wondering what lessons awaits me, what questions I have yet to ask, and what truths I have yet to understand.
And above all, Im grateful. grateful for you, for this caring community, and for every kind soul I have encountered along the way.
May your dreams find their way to you. May your experiences be meaningful and fulfilling. May peace, love, and abundance accompany you wherever your journey leads, all of you.
And thank you for asking such a thoughtful question.

really . . .?"

Shame, guilt, feeling hurt, scared, confused, exhausted... all i want is to be normal and be free from this addiction. I'm trying, I'm trying to understand, and reflect more by using resources, but this shame is chewing me from within every single day 😔 and I still give in. I'm stuck in the same old pattern, I feel weak, and like I'm not trying enough.
I just feel like hiding sometimes, and just feel like I'm dissapointing everyone, I feel dissapointed in myself a lot of times... But I know that if I keep hiding and avoiding it's only going to get worse so I'm trying not to hide rn. Even tho it's making no difference rn whatsoever I feel.
@fossilfellow I just wanted to say how much I admire your bravery and honesty. I'm proud of you for not hiding because it does make things worse. I think you're stronger than you realize and you hold yourself accountable for mistakes and missteps. That takes a lot of courage too 💜
@mytwistedsoul thank you 💝
@LexListens2025 I would love to communicate with you, I’m new here and still have no clue how this works. Is it something that we just post or can we actually chat. Thanks and have a wonderful day
