Chat Between @jesusredeemedme2425 and @convivialAvocado1138
I thought that I would make us a penpal chat, because I love talking to you and I’d love to get to know you more! Please feel free to ignore if you don’t want to, or if you don’t feel comfy. No pressure! <3
Hey boo hey 👋
How's it hanging?
Good! I’ve been powering through my book collection today hehe
Tell me more about you? <3
I like reading, drawing, Netflix, and loving others <3
Sweet,
What are some of your favorite books/genres?
Looking for a new good book 😁. Lately I've been listening to audio books on my commute, getting ready, etc. My go to right now that was recommended to me are the Disney Twisted Tales series... OMG love them!!!
I too like to sketch, paint, write, 3D design 😁
30's... Married... No kids...
Love being in nature, camping, hiking, if there's dirt I wanna be there hahaha 🤣
Loveeeeeeeeeeeee swimming
Ooooo & I LOVE plants... My apartment is full of them... Looks like an indoor garden. Beautiful esthetic if I do say so myself 😁
So glad to have met you on Cups. You seem pretty chill ❤️
I feel like I can see you through your words
Mostly kids and YA fiction lately <3
Try The One and Only Ivan, Paper Things, and Gathering Blue, which are some of my latest favorites <3
Never heard of those, what are they?
What do you draw/paint/write/etc?
I’m in my 30s too. Not enjoying the being single thing lol
I don’t like dirt hehe, but I do like hiking <3
I haven’t swam in YEARS lol
Aww, sounds pretty <3
I am SO not chill lol… Hence the fact that I’m here XD
Awww that’s cool <3
I'll definitely look into your suggested book reads ☺️
So twisted tales is basically an alternate ending to our typical Disney classics. Currently, I'm listening to Cinderella's story.
Basically, what would happen if after she lost her glass slipper she never got a chance to try it on again to prove that she was Cinderella
GASPS
It puts a whole new spin on the story. It's cute, I like it ☺️
Usually, I draw, paint, write about what I'm going through/dealing with. Sometimes it's random, sometimes it's deep. Sometimes it's too deep & I don't wanna ever see it again 😆
But usually those tend to be the best pieces. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE music!!!
I hear you on the single part. Just remember, when you find your person they will be the only family you get to choose for yourself. So choose the perfect imperfect person for you. As my mom would say better to be single wanting to be married than married wanting to be single.
The choice is always yours 😘
Don't let anyone tell you different!!!
I won't spoil the ending... Besides still waiting to find out. Haven't finished it yet... Lol 🤣
I have a few that I go back to consistently.
I loved Trevor Noah's Autobiography Born a Crime. Love his story
Healing the Feminine Energy and the wounds of your inner child 🥹❤️- this one helped put things into perspective for me
Currently, reading Self Portrait Poems & Essays... A lot of it resonates with me
My love of music is all about the way it makes me wanna move 🤣
Just came back from hanging with friends Beyonce's Church Girl came on & we didn't know how to act
😜
Hey, I'm just coming on here to say bye essentially. Not sure if Cups is the place for me.
I feel upset & frustrated.
I get anxiety in the chat rooms. Often times coming out feeling more anxious just because it's very toxic.
I came to be able to discuss my emotions, anxieties as well, for there to be inclusion. But feel like there's a lot of exclusion. Often times the topics discussed aren't relevant to me, but when they are my voice is one that gets quieted. I don't like that. It's similar irl too.
So I was excited to stumble upon a place that might be different. But feel like it's not for me. I like the pen pal chats, & the games but feel like it's just a bandaid for that I actually need to talk. No support in the support room or anywhere else for that matter & the listeners are a joke. I understand they're volunteers but some of them are actually doing more harm than good.
So I'm just saying bye. I'll probably be deleting my account by the end of the week.
Lol it's ok.
Yeah that's how I was feeling initially, but I've changed my mind since then. 😊
I'll be staying. How've you been?
I had a bad experience here & it set me back a little emotionally. But then realized I needed to change my outlook. Not everything will be perfect. Not every day will be grand. So I've learned to accept people as they are and not take things so personally.
What do you mean by you hit a wall/feeling like a doormat? ð¥º
Awww I’m sorry :( That happens sometimes here. But so much good outweighs it <3
Like… guys playing me. Not having control of my own life and choices because I choose not to make choices. If that makes any sense
I understand how you feel
😢
Don't let these guys make u feel a way about yourself. They're ALL poopie 😆 lol
One thing I've learned about men is they do have the ability to do the right things. Whether or not they desire to do so in the moment is different. As woman when we hold high value for ourselves, high self esteem they notice instantly. Many times it motivates them to do right by us if they realize we're not playing their games.
There's a YouTuber that I reallyyyyy like. She talks a lot about self esteem, the type of people we attract into our lives, motivation to help you feel unstuck, etc. She's motivational without being dogmatic if that makes any sense. Almost like you're listening to a friend that just wants the best for you. I like to watch her videos when I feel like I need a little push for myself. Actually it's what inspired me to look for some type of emotional assistance/therapy I guess.
Her channel on YouTube is called Tiffany TV.
It's also what helped me push myself into going after what I want career wise & not being afraid to ask for what ik I'm valued at pay wise. The confidence boost made all the difference & I've seen amazing results from it.
She taught me not to be fearful of attaining the things I want that ik are within my reach. The only thing holding me back was me essentially.
If you want check her out
Plus she's a sista if that makes any difference 😜 lol
Oooo I remember something else that was & still is very helpful for me.
There's an audiobook that I listen to every so often again & again just to reset my mind.
Almost like a girl get it together kinda book 😜
Sometimes I need it. Very encouraging
It's called healing the Feminine Energy. It's written & narrated by the author Reemus Bailey (Great voice btw 😉)
I listen to it as I'm getting ready for the day, driving, doing chores. Something to listen to in the background. It helps to set the tone so that I think positively of myself & reshape my viewpoint of how I allow my experiences to affect me.
