A message from Aman

Hey everyone,

Last Sunday was Aman's last appearance as a Support Chat Moderator. After an amazing run at The Mix, she is saying goodbye to the community for now. Here's a message from Aman. :)

Hey everyone,

I just want to start by saying that you’re all amazing and over the past two years as a support chat moderator, I have loved getting to know you all. I hope you all keep on staying strong and I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for you. You’re all truly wonderful people and deserve every happiness! Unfortunately, my life with university and everything else has become too busy for me to manage, so I have decided to leave the Mix. I know my Sunday evenings won’t be the same without you all. I am sorry for not telling you all sooner, but I hope you can forgive me. I’ll leave you with my favourite quote from my favourite Disney character (I am sure you all know who it is): “It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine” - Eeyore. 


With lots of hugs from Aman <3


In the usual way, we'll be sending Aman the link to this thread, so feel free to post any replies below.

Aman has been a legendary chat moderator during her time here and it's safe to say we're losing a strong link in the volunteer team, but we wish her all the best for the future. :star:

Mike & the team
We're @Aife, @Ella, @Emma_, @Gemma, and @JustV - the staff team here at The Mix.

Our DMs are monitored Monday - Friday (10am - 6pm) with limited cover on weekends. We have a great team of moderators looking after the community outside of those hours to check in on any reported posts.

We're not able to provide support on this account. If you need support urgently for any reason, please call 999, go to your nearest A&E or contact Crisis Messenger by texting THEMIX to 85258.

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Omg no. 😭😭 I had better be hallucinating. Oh wait it is true that this thread exists. :(

    You were such an amazing moderator. Support chats were amazing and you were so inspiring.

    I hope that you do really well with whatever you do after university. If it is doctor- even more luck because that is one of my choices of future career.

    I understand that university has gotten in the way. Well done for being so wise but also supportive. 

    I will always forgive you. We cannot avoid these things. The Sundays you were around were amazing. How can they ever be the same? They can't.

    You will never be forgotten. Disney is amazing- especially eeyore. Here is an eeyore gif to help you remember me. I love the quote and the character. 

    The amount of mods leaving has been so overwhelming although their reasons have been understandable. Firstly it was Jo, then Jane, then Wayne and now Aman!

    And as usual there will be a Kudoboard for everyone to put messages onto and for Aman to see.

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    And here is the link to the Kudoboard. Once it gets to 9 kudos, anymore will have to be shared in a Kudo (just quickly send me a pm as I can explain what to do.)

    Hmmm .... Aman is leaving ... Okay. I did say I dread to think who would be leaving next. Try and eat something not containing coconut ... Your the only person I know who is obsessed with it. You'll be missed ... maybe ... maybe not ... we'll go with maybe missed. Good luck Aman.  <3
    Some people think I am unhappy. I'm not. I just approach silence in the world that never stops talking.
