Goddess’ guide to dating yourself
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but ladies we need to start dating ourselves.
Whether you are in a relationship or not, you need to do this.
Why?
Because your best relationship in your life should be with yourself. In fact, your longest relationship is with yourself. Show your self some love! Fall in love with yourself. Dating yourself can help you become more confident and secure with yourself. It can help us know our worth.
1. Find something you are passionate about and hone in on it! This is your chance to do and try new things until you find something you like and even when you find something you like, keep trying things. Go back and do things you used to do and see if you still like it. Try painting, photography, yoga, reading, guitar, knitting… the list is endless.
2. Become more independent!
Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but never did because you were waiting for someone else to do it with you? This is your time to do it by yourself. Life is short, you don’t have time to wait for someone else to do something with you. Go take that class by yourself, go see the world by yourself, go shopping by yourself, take yourself to that new restaurant.
3. Get to know yourself more!
In more ways than one, you should get to know yourself. My favorite way to do this is to answer those question prompts from pinterest. They can help you find your passions, your limits, your dreams, your desires. Find your limits and boundaries. Things that you will and won’t put up with anymore and stick to them. Also, Masturbation, ladies. Know how to make yourself feel good. Your pleasure shouldn’t be solely dependent on someone else.
4. Get in tuned with your body and mind!
Try meditating, journaling, yoga, vision boarding. Learn what your body likes and dislikes. Do your makeup a new way. And then do it again. Get a massage or facial. Or DIY it. Wear that killer outfit you’ve been saving. Do a photoshoot. Find your angles. Do breath work. Affirmations. Therapy can do wonders for your life.
Date ideas?
1. Take yourself on a picnic. Pack a cute basket of your favorite snacks and foods. Grab a bottle of wine and a blanket and sit with yourself in the park. Maybe read that book you’ve been meaning to.
2. Watch a movie. Years ago, I used to buy matinee tickets, buy popcorn and watch movies at the theater by myself and it was wonderful. You can do the same at home.
3. Go to a restaurant. I know the allure of take out will be hard to resist but do it! Dress up in your finest outfit. Make your makeup and hair killer. Take yourself to the cute cafe or restaurant you’ve been dying to try. Order something new. Savor your food.
4. Take yourself to the store. If you’re a bookworm like me, I’d suggest Barnes and noble or another book store. If you’re not a book person, try a clothing store or a tea shop or other specialty shop. Go to a store you’ve never been to. Take your time, look around. Take pictures of everything. Imagine yourself buying something. Actually buy it, if you can. Take note of all the things you want in that store.
5. Organize. Hear me out here. Make a date out of de-cluttering and organizing. Turn on your favorite playlist or tv show or podcast. Start clearing out things you don’t need and make room for new things. Sing at the top of your lungs. Dance like no one’s watching. Make a fashion show out of it. Make your house cozy and smell good. Let it become a place you enjoy being in.
Get out there and do the things you love to do! Fall in love with life!

But consider this: women loving women in a dark academia setting
- long strands of hair that cling to a girls’ back as she emerges from the water of the lake, bathed in moonlight and the glow of the windows of the old stone buildings
- throwing around lines of Sapphos fragments, acting as though it is just a meaningless game
- sleeves of white collar shirts rolled up to her elbows, hair falling into her face, glasses sliding down her nose as she sits over history books for hours on end
- wandering the halls at midnight
- squeezing into small nooks to not get caught, she distinctly smells of the earth and rain
- her playing the male lead in a play because there simply wasn’t a better fit (and those clothes would fit no one the same way they fit her)
He deserves love and happiness ! #SaveBenSolo

Doctor Who | Revolution of the Daleks
It’s like Rey is just a sex object and have no choice. It disrespectful for women, Daisy and her character.
Just to make a few things clear...
People aren't upset at John for disliking reylo. He's a human being and he can have whatever views on shipping he sees fit. No one cares about that and if someone does, they should rethink their priorities. People are upset, because of the gross, sexist things he said on Instagram before ever making the reylo tweet. Here's what he said:
This is disgusting. Implying that a woman is some sort of a trophy to be won, when you eventually fuck her. A woman doesn't have agency, what matters is who takes her virginity, as if she can be claimed that way. Calling it "just a joke" is also disturbing, because I've heard that excuse from men, trying to avoid consequences for their sexist comments, one too many times.
Overall, his views are troubling, especially paired with how he's liked a post about Chris Brown avoiding jail time for rape in the past.
This isn't about fictional characters or the suggestion that Finn and Rey will have sex, that's the farthest thing from what matters here. The issue is with how he spoke about women as a whole.
No one's condoning the abuse he recieved in this fandom or trying to dismiss it, the racism that's directed against him to this day will always be disgusting and unacceptable.
That being said, he messed up. He said demeaning things about women and he should've apologised instead of doubling down. That's why people are mad at him. Not because of reylo, not because he suggested that Rey can have sex with Finn, it's about the real life implications of his comment.
