Life update, y’all...I GOT MARRIED!!!!! Finally after four years of long distance, Austin and I get to live in the SAME PLACE!!!! We’re so excited and so thankful that God has been with us every step of this process. Here’s to a life of adventure and serving Jesus as partners in ministry!

You don’t owe your boyfriend anything to ‘make up’ for the fact that you aren’t having sex with him. You don’t have to be okay with his watching porn. You don’t have to let him cheat on you. You don’t have to be cool with him hanging out at strip clubs. You don’t have to ‘compromise’- you don’t owe him oral sex or any other kind of sexual activity. You don’t have to do it just, like, once a year. Whether he realizes it or not, you are making the right choice for both of you by not having sex outside of marriage. You do not have to ‘fulfill his sexual needs desires’. And if a boy/man pushes you to go against your values or feels like you owe him some kind of reparation for your chastity, he absolutely isn’t right for you.

I’ve started getting people in the notes who are saying things like “this girl needs to get laid”, “good luck finding a man who’s sexually repressed”, people are calling me crazy, narrow-minded, etc. And more than anything else, I feel sad for them. I don’t think of sex as being the be-all, end-all of life. I don’t walk around thinking, “Man, if only I were having sex. Man, if only I would put out so I could get a man who doesn’t really love me or share my values.” I have had four boyfriends ultimately break up with me because of my beliefs about sex, many guys have pushed me to go against my beliefs, many guys have lost interest in me when they found out I wasn’t having sex… And what people continually seem to miss is that I am completely happy with the choice I have made to wait. I never regret deciding not to have sex; I only ever regret moments when I’ve compromised my values. And I would absolutely, given the choice, rather be alone than betray God and myself by having sex just so someone who doesn’t share my principles will maybe halfway-love me. You people are being nasty to me because you’re antagonistic toward religion and you have nothing better to do than attack a grown woman for her personal sexual choices, but you don’t seem to understand that I’m saying men should respect women’s (that people should respect each other’s, in general) values and choices and you’re literally arguing the opposite. Because, porn. Because, sex. If sex and pornography are two of the most important aspects of your life, congratulations, you can have both of them. Easily. But my priorities don’t really line up like that. 

And by the by, after years of being rejected and mistreated by people I cared about because I was waiting for marriage, I have been in a relationship for almost two years now with a young man who does love me, respects me for my values, is a Christian, is also waiting, doesn’t pressure me, and, yes, doesn’t watch porn. 

Wonder of wonders, not all men need sex to be with a woman, no matter what cruel people might tell you. If you’re waiting, I know it’s hard. But it’s worth it. God bless and lots of love!

Captain Fantastic (2016)

[naomiswatt-deactivated20190530]

If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.

Captain Fantastic (2016) dir. Matt Ross

Here’s one of the reasons I don’t buy the cynical interpretation that Ariel gives up her identity for a man.

This screencap comes from her introductory scene. She’s searching through a shipwreck for human artifacts–which is her passion–when suddenly she’s attacked by a shark.

While fleeing, she accidentally drops her bag full of artifacts right in the shark’s path. Without hesitating, she chooses her passion over her safety, risking her life for a dinglehopper.

The girl is an anthropologist who studies humans. That’s her passion, that’s how she spends her time…that’s her identity.

Sure, Eric is the catalyst that leads Ariel to changing her species and leaving her family–he certainly intensifies her feelings–but they’re feelings she already has, and they dictate most of her life.

If Ariel had the chance to become a human before she met Eric, everything that we know about her suggests that she probably would.

Ariel is an anthropologist, I stand by this

Triton: Fuck your passion! Ariel: okay
