Day 6

In your own space, create your own challenge. What’s something you want to see more people doing in fandom? Is there something you’ve tried that you think other people would enjoy if they gave it a go? Dare your friends to try it out, and have fun with it. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I'm going to repost my response from last year, just because I think people can use the encouragement to look after themselves, as well as other people. So:


Every day, give yourself a present. Buy yourself a coffee, pick up a shiny thing, a book, or a new plant for your home or office. It doesn't have to be something you spend money on: check out a new author or fandom, treat yourself to an extra cute (or porny, porn is also cheering) picture, wear that nice outfit in the back of your closet you never get a chance to wear just because you can.

I am taking this suggestion and treating myself to super filthy porn! \o/

Sweet! I like it! I am going to try doing it for a week, that will be enough of a challenge for me.

And yes, I have always found porn to be cheering too!

One thing I've started doing, a small thing that makes a big difference, is picking up a bouquet of flowers each week when I groceryshop. 5 or 6 bucks, huge psychological impact.

I used to do that for myself on occasion. There's just something so cheerful about having flowers in the house.

You know what, several other people at snowflake_challenge suggested "treat yourself" for this meme, but I like the way you put it up best. It sounds so nice!
