Chat Between @jesusredeemedme2425 and @cyanessence
I’m disgusted with everything about me… This roll of fat, my inability to control myself, my inability to cope properly…
@jesusredeemedme2425
I am in tears. The state of things... the environment is in shambles and getting worse. Things are going extinct. We are depleting resources at an alarming rate.
Conflict seems to reign. People fight, and when they do talk, they talk at each other rather than with each other. People want power. They want to feel superior.
We hold onto nuclear weapons, a key to our doom. One push of a button and it's all over.
I can't stand this. When will people see reason? Isn't it obvious that, given our current trajectory, there is almost no hope?
What happened to compassion? In it lies love, acceptance, humility, empathy. It is the antidote to madness.
I want education reform. I want logic and reasoning and compassion taught early in school. It can feel more like play than instruction, done right. Without such things, one develops haphazardly. Our capacity to reason kicks in early. If we strengthen it, and teach compassion alongside, we have a fighting chance.
I love this world. I love being. But I'm so heartbroken by our circumstances. I can't stop crying.
Please, for the love of God, let things work out. I don't want to be part of the generation that let it all fade away.
I'm sorry, Kiara. I didn't know who else to go to. No-one I live with will hear these kinds of things. I have very few friends in real life.
You are a light in dark times. I'm so grateful our paths crossed. I will reply to your other message... I just needed to talk to someone.
I’m sorry I didn’t respond earlier :(
You never, ever have to apologize for opening up to me <3 That’s what I’m here for <3 Friends take care of each other, right? <3
You know what this means? Everything you feel, everything you’re sensitive to, is a challenge. Love that cranky neighbor. Recycle your bottles. Support rare animal preservation. Inspire that teen and support them as they cure skin cancer. Protect that child. Love people on 7Cups who haven’t been noticed yet.
This is your quest. Do you accept?
<3
@jesusredeemedme2425
I do accept! All I really want to do is be a positive force in this world. I will do what I can.
If I brighten someone's day, I glow. If I'm there when no-one else is, I am fulfilled. If my kindness begets more kindness, then I've made the impact I want.
Thank you for your inspiring words. You were there for me when I was falling, and you picked me right up.
I am always here for you, just so you know. I'm just having trouble keeping up with notifications all the time. I spent almost the whole day the other day on 7 Cups, just responding to things. I wouldn't do it if I didn't love it, though.
What will you do today to work towards this mission? <3
Awww I try <3 You’ve been there for me so much too <3
No worries, I have so much to respond to myself hehe! No rush. Take your time… I’ll still be here when you do respond <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Hmm. What can I do? I wrote Cry to Try, which is supposed to inspire. But I want to have an impact on my immediate environment too. I want to see if I can help someone recover their lost phone... I'll keep thinking of things to do, both here and in real life.
The thought of inspiring the one that goes on to cure cancer is tantalising. They may well exist today.
I want to continue to welcome people with poems. I want people to feel special, because they are. I will dedicate some time today to clearing up notifications. I don't want to fall behind, miss the boat.
Thanks again, Kiara <3
Did someone lose their phone?
I think you should put some books in an LFL. <3 Or somewhere that you designate as such <3
My mom said there’s a teen who invented a soap that cures skin cancer. <3
That’s awesome <3 People love personalized poems <3
Don’t forget to respond to Consider the Following… I think you’ll LOVE that post <3
You’re welcome <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Yeah, someone lost their phone. I would be shattered. No luck yet.
I could give to a LFL. That's a good idea ^^ I don't have much to give, but there are books I'm probably not going to read.
It's hard to write at the moment. I was pretty much writing a short story a day for a while and now... it's just stopped.
I'll see if I can find that post!
Hey. Thinking about you <3 You still alive? Hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425
Still alive! More than ever.
It was a bit hard losing all my words. I couldn't write, speak, think. I couldn't help anyone, not even myself. So, I retreated, rested, revitalised.
I've written a couple more stories, poems, and reflections. But my list of writing prompts is only growing. I'll get there though... it is exciting that there seems endless things to write.
How have you been? Sorry I disappeared. I never forgot about you or 7 Cups. I just like to mean what I say, which leads to periods of silence.
Heyyyy buddy!!! We missed you <3
Losing your words?
I used to be like that…
It’s been… a h*****h week. :’(
Mean what you say?
@jesusredeemedme2425
I missed everyone here! It is a truly special place.
I just hit a wall. I could no longer reason, which stopped everything. I lost my inspiration. But it's come back in spades!
What happened this week? Sorry it's been tough.
I won't say anything unless I mean it. I don't want my words to be hollow. There is too much emptiness in the world... I won't contribute.
@jesusredeemedme2425
Also... Reason I Sing by Phil Wickham <3
Son of David- Ryan Ellis ;)
Remind me to Lauren to yours tomorrow :)
@jesusredeemedme2425
Cool song! Added it to a play list.
"Remind me to Lauren to yours tomorrow" what does that mean? Haha, I am so confused! Who is Lauren? Are you and Lauren coming over?!
I think I need to retreat, disappear, for awhile… Not from here, not from life. Just from… being me.
@jesusredeemedme2425
In my absence, I knew I was missing something.
I'm sorry you felt that way. I hope it didn't persist. I hope you found some space.
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't me. I don't wish for end, I'm far beyond that. I love life too much. But in others, I see who I want to be.
I just want to be normal. I want to live, laugh, and love, and not think so much.
I am in love with the ordinary. The seemingly mundane. Simple presence fills me. I've never felt so connected, yet totally isolated.
Remind me to respond to this. Just post a response and that will give me another notification lol
@jesusredeemedme2425
Notification!
