Maya Augustin.

Kicking starting a brand new week here at The AIB Network I thought it was only appropriate that I share a brand new blog sharing some of my thoughts and feelings in life. Usually my blogs are focused on an event or moment such as the grammy's but today i'm going to get a little more personal. This blog is short (well short for maya), sweet and talks about my outlook on life and some of the things I've been through- ooo gossip! ;)

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Maya. I'm hilarious and I'm probably the most sarcastic person you will ever meet.

Through out my life I've always been told "Maya you're away with the fairies". I remember when I was in secondary school I was told on a daily basis by "my friend" that once I leave school and get into the real world I'm going to struggle. Her opinion was based off the 'fact' I was always happy, smiling and laughing. It seemed to bother her that I never was upset or angry- which just so everyone knows thats how she was often. She would drill into me the fact that I need to stop being so happy all the time and wake up to see the world isn't all rainbows and sunshine. I remember sitting there and thinking to myself "ugh shut up" and decided in my head that from the day I leave I will never surround myself with people like that again.

Of course I wasn't happy everyday and I would go through and still go through certain moments in my life that make me extremely upset and I would cry myself to sleep at night- especially over the last three years. You name it I've been through it.

I know its a lot but I'm also aware its not as bad as some people have it. Either way I'm reminded everyday by my friends that my life should be turned into a reality show. I also agree.

Of course my life has been equally filled with amazing times and things as well!

25/01/94 (Birthday) - I treat it like a national holiday, it literally is.

Random moments that haven't cost a penny and are the most special moments in life.

...awww yay to my life and memories...

The point is, no matter what you go through in life you will always have bad moments, sad moments and just moments where you literally just want to give up in life but you will ALWAYS have reasons to smile. You just have to pay attention.

I've always been the type of person to put on a brave face and leave whatever is bothering me behind. I allow myself to be upset for a day and then I have to move on. Within that day you are allowed to cry, shout, scream, post as many song lyrics and meme's that relate to your life in your group chats (DO NOT over do it on the social media because thats just annoying for everyone else, like seriously nothing is ever that deep. Nothing. 3 quote maximum) but after that day is done and you close your eyes to go to bed, its over. Never again.

My best friend always jokes with me and says "Maya how you are when your upset is literally how I am on a normal happy day, you don't stop laughing even when the world around you is falling apart"

That always makes me happy, I love how I am in life and I always always pride my self of never changing. No matter how many frogs come my way, no matter how many cars get stolen, no matter how many friends I lose-

Maya Augustin will never stop laughing her way through life.
