Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check In Wednesday 1st November 2017
Hello everyone and happy Wednesday!
I'll start with a little introduction since you likely have never seen me, why I joined the community, and then finish with a question 
My name is Honey and I joined the community on August 18th of 2016. I'm currently an intern here and love what I do, especially after meeting so many amazing people and getting so involved in the 7 Cups community. I joined the trauma community because I went through family and relationship abuse for several years of my life and got turned down because "abuse isn't really traumatic" but I disagreed with everyone who said so. After being alone with that for a long time, I wanted to help people going through trauma feel heard, heal, and never be alone if they needed a helping hand, especially after realizing people were being dismissed and invalidated.
That brings me to my values!
I follow a religion not many know about since it is considered a "lost" belief. In this religion, we believe in nine noble virtues:
Courage
Truth
Honor
Fidelity
Discipline
Hospitality
Industry
Self-Reliance
Perseverance
These values led me to be resilient, rely on myself more than others, work hard, give kindness, be honest with myself and others, and live a more corageous life than what I did before!
So my question of the day is:
Do you follow any values you hold to yourself? If not, what are some you might follow and how might they change you?
OR
Do you have any plans for the month of November?
Have an amazing November 1st everyone! You are all loved and cared about!

@TheHoneyDoll
That wasn't supposed to be a broken heart qwq
Hi,
Welcome and thank you very much for your post. It is such an inspiring topic as our core values are those things that are so close to our heart. It is inspiring to hear that you overcame so much yet never lost confidence in your truths in the process. I am so happy you are here.
@Compassionatelistener108
Thank you so much for the warm welcome!
And yes, our core values show and shape us as our experiences change and our attitudes towards the world :) thanks for the comment ^^
Guys...what are you supposed to do when an abusive ex you havent talked to in over two years reaches out and says...well...Ill just show you.
And if the person Ive been talking to today sees this, Im not trying to discount anything youve said...Im just...today sucked.
@BeeLeigh
I understand how hard that is :( and abusive ex did the same to me for 2 years but in the end, even when they say they'll be better, they really aren't going to be.
I am so sorry you had to and still have to go through something so painful and damaging. You don't deserve that and I understand why it hurts. It takes time to recover but in the end, the best you can do is try to block and ignore it. Maybe even have it forwarded to someone you trust who can keep it instead as evidence or dispose of it for you. It's really really rough, I know, but you're strong! you're a survivor and a beautiful person. It isn't your fault and never will be, just remember that :)
If you ever need someone to just vent to or talk with on rough days, I'm here for you if I'm around 💕 You're cared about and don't deserve the pain of an unhealthy relationship.
