Welcome to aura. To start this rollercoaster ride I simply wanted you to get familiar with me. If you’re here just to support me, thank you. If you’re here because someone sent this to you, thank them. If you just stumbled across this page, lol what’s goooodd! So to start, I'll tell you a little more detail about me, my why, & what I want you as a reader, spectator, or curious mind to gain from taking these few minutes out of your day.

about ayri: 

so i’m ayri. Duh…I'm 23. born & raised in Boston. I am currently a teacher. I'm also in school for elementary education. I have like 2 or 3 friends on a good day. I have a younger sister (hey girl i see you) along with a mother & father (ello). I’ll say thank you to all three of them, thank you! Any and every endevor i’ve wanted to pursue they’ve supported me endlessly. They also support the tears, the screaming, the silence, and the complaining that come along with it. Growing up (she says still growing up) I was raised in a Christian, God fearing, go to church every Sunday, pray your face off household. We still very much are minus the going to church every Sunday portion as of 2020 (pandemi strikes again). With that being said I will put in a tw that along the way there could be some swears, cusses, and bad words. This endevor will always be based upon God's word. Saints, please excuse that but it's the truth I live. & after reading some of my anecdotes you’ll have a swear or two to say don’t worry. 

I'm a very genuine person but i’m also very blunt, even my face expresses what I feel when my words don't. I fully intend to let you all feel just that in every piece of material you read. I’m not here to “rat out” people or “hold grudges”. I’ll never put names with stories but if i have to they’ll be changed (maybe i’ll just use the ones i refer to you as in my texts). I’ve experienced a lot in my 23 years of breathing, moving, and having being. Now with that said, obviously, I just want to remind everyone reading- I’m the one putting MY business on the internet for YOU to read, please don’t think you have something on me. Everything I write I've already healed from…old news doesn’t reappear the next day. But you’re welcome for all the “i knew its” and “wow i could never tells”. 

my why: 

Ah yes here we are to the good part! So basically my whole entire life I've just gone through so much. So much good, so much bad, and so much in between. My life is an example, “ayri what do you mean by an example”. WELL what I mean is I've found myself in a lot of situations that end up being used to gain the result of “never again”. In jobs, school, relationships (platonic and romantic). If i could compare myself to anything i’d like to say it's more of a restaurant impossible, Gordon Ramsey, fixer upper type of thing. “ayri what do you mean by that…?” ever noticed how in these types of shows they have a problem, a restaurant or house is looking pretty jacked up, busted, messy. They bring in that british guy, gordon ramsey, or chip & joanna gaines, the restaurant or house is ripped apart then put back together with an unbelievable outcome? Yeah that's what I am. The Gordon Ramsey of changing how establishments and administrators run a business or handle a problem. (“you’re an idiot sandwich”). 

So my why behind aura is to make you (hi) feel less alone. If you went to work & your “boss” talked down to you- been there, handled that. If your significant other is a raging psycho- got out of that. If your friends are just real shady & you got that feeling in your stomach- yeah…let me tell you about that.

 I just feel like there's no way I went through everything to keep what I've learned (or didn’t because I did the same thing again) to keep it to myself. It’s 2024, for me personally 2023 was dog shit on a 101 degree day in the middle of the Coachella desert with no water. I really refuse to be angry, sad, or unsettled about a situation, person, or what my own mind is telling me. If i had someone who could tell me ayri, i went through the same thing & there is so much more on the other side. I would love to hear that. So I became who I needed & I love that for me truly. 

what i want you to gain: 

Well, I just want you to read my trauma- laugh if you need to, cry if you feel it, whatever you do just know this is a safe space. I am a safe person. This is so unseriously serious. Feel free to reach out if you need something. Feel free to ask me questions. Honestly if you know me personally hit me up & say “ayri you should talk about that time that….”. I will 100% share whatever you want to hear that I've experienced. 

I hope you enjoyed reading all my words. If there was only one of you that read it I would be just as pleased as 500,000. I'm so excited to keep this going with you.

~your favorite ayri
