When you've spent a lot of time being a listener, you start to think that maybe you're the mentor (literally) and your members/guests are the mentees. But it occurred to me that perhaps it isn't quite like that at all. Maybe the truth is we listeners are learning and growing just as much as other members/guests are, too; in fact, these interactions we have amongst one another fulfill our very humanly desire to be with and connect with one another, and I think the mission that 7Cups strives to accomplish does so perfectly.
Within the past few months that I've been a part of this wonderful organization, I've learned that we are more than just a supportive website (even though we are this, too), but we are more: family.
My personal reflection is that I couldn't have been happier to become a listener! I was hesitant to get support at first but once I did, I knew I had to pay it forward. 7 Cups is the best thing I have ever done and I will be forever grateful for joining back in November 2014.
I shared on the link. This website has been an integral part of my life.
Done ! <3
I have been on 7Cups almost a year now! :D I have enjoyed it very much! Happy Birthday 7Cups!
Ill do this soon, it's gonnabe long
Came out as bisexual.
Started working out.
Found a girlfriend.
Graduated.
And so many more things. This year was great.
I've grown from being a listener not knowing the rules, how things word, how to effectively listen, to being nominated by an ambassador for a Mentor Role, I find that amazing!
The skills I've gained here have really helped me in empowering myself, my friends and my family in real life, Thank you 7cups!
