7 Ways To Have A Feminist Spring In Malta
As the collective winter depression melts away, it’s time to prepare yourself for this glorious Spring season.
In Malta, it’s the pre-Summer scorcher and a time to shed your goblin skin into the fuck-you feminist you know you are.
Here are seven things you can do with your life under the Spring sun.
1. Go on a picnic
It’s that rare time of the year when it’s not too wet or too hot to enjoy a nice outside feast under the sun with your favourite girls.
Find a cut-off place with greenery (that’s not a roundabout, I guess) and sprawl out and bake your boobs in the glorious sun, because fuck the government’s laws.
2. Shave your legs, or don’t
The ankles and legs begin to come out to play, so decide whether you want to keep the leg locks or not. It’s entirely up to you.
3. Break up with your boyfriend
Boyfriend hibernation is over, so you can totally toss any extra baggage outside your gallerija for a summer of sexual prowess. Remember though, safe sex is the sexiest sex.
4. Have your first salad in a year
This has nothing to do with nasty dieting or summer bodies. But if you haven’t eaten anything that’s a vegetable and not biege in a while because of the cold, now is the time to reintroduce salads in your life. Plus, there’s so many great things coming into season for Spring!
5. Do something for your favourite organisation
Even if you’re not following Lent or Ramadan, you can still pledge to sacrifice something for a cause you love. Why not run a marathon, sell some clothes or bake something to raise funds for an organisation fighting for your rights? A quick google search will help you find an NGO that aligns with your morals. Moviment Graffiti, MGRM or groups in the Voice For Choice Coalition are all good contenders in my opinion.
6. Spring clean
I’m not just talking about spring cleaning your depression room. Take stock of your life, your actions, the people around you, and your habits, and use the sun-fueled energy to compassionately be better. It’s the best time to make goals.
7. Go on a solo beach date
The beaches aren’t streaming with people yet, so take yourself on a beautiful solo date up North and take in all the beauty. Buy yourself a cocktail and your favourite meal to eat on the sand. Do some yoga. Look at that sunset. Love yourself. You deserve it.
