Spiderman93 November 24th, 2014

I did a little game of 10 truths about myself with another listener, and found that it was a fun way to learn about who I was! I think it would be fun to get even more people involved so that we can actually get to know one another in the 7cups community! My 10 truths: 1. I am gender-queer (feel free to ask) 2. I am a 18+ year dancer :-) 3. I believe in everyone no matter what 4. I dont have my life together, but im working on it 5. I see myself trying to go to college soon! 6. I love music as a whole 7. I have 2 brothers and a sister I have never met 8. I love to help others 9. I believe in the good in everyone 10. I know I am not perfect, but im ok with that! You dont have to share 10, but I hope you can share at least one thing about yourself!

1. I'm in love with the sport of roller derby, and I think it's safe to say it's saved my life. 2. I'm a giant nerd and love all things related to biology, chemistry, brains, and sciencey stuff. 3. I usually think rather highly of myself and believe that I'm a friendly, loving, compassionate human. 4. I'm also absolutely wildly sensitive, and often have to remind myself when things aren't really a huge deal. 5. I fantasize about a future family often, and how I would really enjoy cooking healthy meals and playing games or being active with my wife and kids. 6. I'm desperately afraid that I'll never end up with anyone who makes that kinda future possible. 7. My identity is in constant flux and I feel like I'll never figure out just who I want to be because there are way too many interesting things in the world. 8. I have 2 tattoos and 8 piercings, but I like tattoos more, piercings are just cheaper. I want MANY more of each. 9. I'm strongly devoted to my atheism but derive a sort of spiritual contentment from my practice of yoga and meditation. 10. I love to crochet but never finish my own projects, they only reach completion if I plan on giving them to someone else.

1) It would seem I have suffered depression and anxiety since a very young age.

2) I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict; it's been decades. Apparently there are a vast variety of methods of self harm, some not so obvious and immediate.

3) I have creative side which I don't often use. I used to write tons but not anymore.

4) I have a dark, twisted, sick, demented, odd, strange, weird sense of humor.

5) I use humor inappropriately, like when I am uncomfortable or hiding how I really feel.

6) I have four children, three boys and a girl; my youngest boy died at birth. I love them all very much and I am so proud of them all.

7) I suck at relationships. Or I suck in my choices of relationships. I'm learning.

8) I have been married over 30 years, collectively, all crashed and burned. I have dated lots and only twice for less than a year.

9) I have the best girlfriend in the universe who saw value in me when I couldn't, reached in and pulled me out of the abyss, knows what I think and feel even when I do not, has taught me about listening with the intent to understand rather than the intent to respond... long before I found this place. She's taught me so much. She has an amazing capacity for love, understanding, patience and compassion. I could brag about this amazing woman for hours. I am truly proud, blessed, honored and pleased to have her in my life.

10) I am so old that ten truths doesn't begin to scratch at the surface. How old you are wondering? I am 29 again. I have been 29 27 years in a row now.

Yeah Alaska. It sucks when people put you down because of your personality. It's something you can't help. It's ok to have a different opinion, but it's not ok to make fun of someone for just being themselves.

I think you might be better in a relationship with a man that's older than you. One who will love you and look after you and keep you safe

I am transgender too, but on the other side of the spectrum. It makes me afraid of what others think of me too sometimes. I just try to keep in mind that what they think doesn't fucking matter because MYhappiness is more important. If your partner isn't treating you with the respect you deserve, then they don't deserve your respect. My mom has some really bad PTSD and I hate to hear that it's affecting your life. That can be really tough. With that in mind, YOU can also be really tough. Beauty is in the brain. I feel like a nasty drag sometimes, but I look for someone ugly, (not too hard if you live in the US) and I tell myself, ""Hell yeah! I look better than they do, and I don't even have the right parts!" So, keep your head up bro. Things will get better.

1. I'm male

2. For a guy, I'm short and I'membarrassed about that.

3. I have an obsession with finding a girlfriend, but it's never happened.

4. I'm 17 years old.

5. I love rock music! To me, Oasis is the best band ever.

6. I don't really fit a high school social cliche. Some might say I'm a little nerdy, because I get good grades, but my interests and friends don't really reflect that stigma. I'm not sure where I fall really, andI think this hasmade it difficultfor me to fit in.

7. You'll never understand me until you really get the chance to know me. I'm like a coconut...you'd be surprised what you'll find when you figure out who I am on the inside. You'd never guess a coconut is filled with milk just by looking at it, right?

8 I'm a huge football fan! Ifollow all of the teams inboth the college and professional ranks. Most people would never guess I'm into sports.

9. I'm a huge procrastinator. I may put things off, but I almost always get them done.

10. I'm a junior in high school, and all I want to do is fast forward through this time in my life. I absolutely hate high school. It has not been kind to me. I want to go somewhere where I can have the freedom to express myself, find people like myself, and to find more opportunities to feel alive. I feel like I have a lot to offer, so I desperately want to move on to college.
