Monday, August 21st! New to 7 Cups? Welcome! Introduce yourself to our community here!

I have been struggling most of my life with trying to figure out the true meaning of life, wanting to form a spiritual bond with true Christian's but seeming to run into pseudo Christians endlessly. Trying to be kind, gentle and good but having people being cruel, taking advantage, or treating kindness as a weakness. Watching people spend excessive amount of money, time, energy on trying to keep their outside self youthful or beautiful while their inside self rots with self-absorption, pettiness, jealousy, apathy, cruelty, hatefulness, selfishness, etc., etc. I'm sick of aging equaling becoming useless, unwanted, ignored, an embarrassment rather than equating it as a valuable asset. Knowing that there are people with excessive wealth in this world who goldplate their cars, spend thousands of dollars on one outfit yet burned in my mind is the hand of a child dying of starvation being held by a caregiver, that small little hand an arrow in my heart. The great inequality where death from lack of food or water is a daily event to women who spend thousands of dollars getting fat injections in their butts to make them bigger. What the hell is going on? Why do we seem to be growing into a society where wealth and social status outweighs the goodness of giving, of sharing, of loving not just our families but our brothers and sisters of the earth, of practicing the Golden Rule, of comforting.........Well, what an intro, I guess you can tell I'm depressed, that the last 10 years of my life have been the hardest, that I am 66 years old and my life is more screwed up than it ever has been. But, wait, is this all bad or is it simply steps I must take to learn the truth, to become closer to God, to accept this truth and somehow in my small way change it? I do not know yet but am hoping that this angst is a way to somehow make me a better person and maybe other people. Sorry for the tirade but it was something I felt I needed to say.

Hello everyone, I am Mina. Joined a few days ago. Glad to find a space to talk : )

Hello everyone here. I just joined today because of reasons. I never thought I would join this kind of site but here I am. I felt depressed and lonely for few months before but it got better eventually.Now I'm afraid it's coming back and I want to prevent that so I told myself to do something. That if I have noone to talk to irl, at least find someone online. Well, It was always easier for me to talk to strangers rather than my family/friends so my main purpose is to talk to people with similar problems and hear them out too. Also hope to find some motivation here :)

Hi everyone.. i have decided to join because i want to express everything that i feel and share my sentiments without anyone judging me.

I am currently working with the job that i'm not passionate and not quite close to the course that i graduated in. But i have no choice because it was not my decision to make..
