Re: I need a hug (v2.0) ๐
My mum is annoyed that:
- She needs to provide her info for me to claim student finance
- I spent less than ยฃ10 on something
- I opened a drawer and her precariously balanced hoard had an avalanche. โWhat have you done?โ
Shes just so negative about everything and it makes me feel miserable

Re: Meet the staff & mods! โจ
Helloo everyone! I'm Aife and I've been here for a long time too! I first started volunteering as a moderator about 8 years ago and joined the staff team shortly after. I love my job and I'm so lucky to work with the best community team I could ever ask for @JustV, @ella & @Gemma
1. What do you enjoy most about modding?
I enjoy helping to create a space that feels really safe for young people to reach out for support. It also makes my day when I hear how helpful our community has been to someone.
2. What's a fun fact about yourself?
When I was 21, I went travelling around Australia and worked in a mango farm! I tried so many forms of mango flavoured foods and drinks, I can't eat them anymore!
3. What's your ideal way to spend your weekends?
I love spending time outside whether it's going on a walk, exploring a new city or escaping the city to the beaches down in cornwall. I also love going out for brunch and trying new cafes!
4. What's one lesson you've learned from your life that you want to share with the community?
One lesson I've learned from my life is that kindness can go such a long way. We never really know what someone is going through and even those small acts of kindness can have a huge impact on someone's day. I know for me, when a stranger has been kind, I've always remembered what they did and it's always made my day a little brighter. I try and spread kindness as much as I can
