Any requests?

HELLO?

Hey y'all!

So, I was considering giving myself a request, but then I was all, "Is that egotistical of me?"

It probably is.

So, I didn't.

But I do want to do a series of posts on haters, but I don't know how many people that would anger.

And that worries me.

So, if you do want me to do a series of posts on haters, let me know.

Also, give me requests.

PLEASE!

I'M BEGGING YOU!

I have no inspiration for posts.

And I don't feel like starting my hater series yet, I mean, I have, but like, its not good for posting yet.

Plus, my friend and I are going to be doing a tag on here.

I also want to possibly get interviews from people.

I would be cool.

And so would the interviews.

So, I am rambling.

And I need to go.

Bye.

Love always,
Maia

HELLO? ANYONE HOME?

Did the name change confuse people?

Hey y'all.

Okay, I have an honest question.

Are people not able to find my blog now because I changed the name?

Should I change it back so that people can find me?

MADISON, SHAWNA, CAYDANCANA, MADISON'S FRIEND! DID YOU GET LOST?

So let me know if you got lost finding my blog, or if I should change it back so that you can find it again.

But even if you don't care about the name, let me know what I should talk about next.

Love always,
Maia

Name change!

Hey y'all! 

I know I just posted something earlier, but I wanted to ask: what do you guys think of the name change? I've sorta given up on YouTube for now because I don't have the time or energy to edit and film. So right now, I'm sticking with the blog. 

Lemme know what I should write about next time and what you think about the name change!

Love always,

Maia

Saying "NO"

Okay, Caydancana, this is for you.

Hey, y'all! How are you doing on this fine day?

So, Miss Caydancana Poiyotha requested that I write about, well, nothing exactly in particular. But from what you wrote, I'm going to guess that you want me to talk about saying NO in certain situations.

And, I have not personally had to say no to a situation like you wrote about.

Now, before you all go saying, "What did she tell you about? What was it?", I'm not going to tell you. It seemed like a personal thing.

But, I just have a quick question. Why were you even there in the first place at your age?

Whatever. No reason.

So, I know that a lot of people are thinking that in order to break out of your comfort zone, you have to say yes to everything.

I don't totally agree with that.

Saying yes to somethings is good. For instance, saying yes to being asked out on a date is a good thing. But saying yes to doing something life-threatening, like car-surfing or smoking cigarettes, is not good.

Personally, I feel like whenever YouTubers make a video where all they talk about is saying yes to different situations outside of their comfort zones, they are basically saying say yes to anything and everything. Which can be dangerous.

So, what I am saying, is don't say yes to everything and anything. If you are uncomfortable with doing something, you can say no. But don't let the fear of the unknown hinder your life.

Although, yes, I am telling you to say no whenever you feel necessary, I can personally say that in certain situations, I said no.

And I regret it.

I don't want you to suffer that same regret.

So, say yes when you think you should and comfortably can, but say no whenever you feel the need to.

I'm sorry if this didn't make sense.

Love always,
Maia

Dear Mile-Long Coach

Hi, Malsbfkhbeqbomsdnjasrhkjlnqwlkkasfuaf Alkbahdflewlrckqlkwetljkwerqewr

I hope I spelled your name right.

I hate you.

You think that I write badly?

Just, reread your comment.

Have you heard of spelling, capitalization, and punctuation?

Also, have you heard of bullying?

Yeah, what you said hurt.

I don't appreciate you making fun of my weight.

You really hurt my feelings with that.

I made fun of your name. You gonna kill me now, coach?

Can I just address haters as a whole?

Why are you hating on something continuously? Like, why are you still watching/reading it?

If you hate it, than stop.

And Menna-whatever, I get that there are other people who probably do write better blogs than me. But this makes me happy. I'm not getting paid or anything. Did you know that they get paid by the likes they get? I don't have ads on my blog, therefore I don't get paid.

And yes, not many people read and watch me, but I don't care.

I'm doing what I love and that's all that matters.

No one can tell me what to do.

Except my mommy.

And as far as I know, my mom doesn't comment on my blog and hasn't told me to delete it, so I don't have to.

I'm not planning on deleting it or stopping writing for a while.

So you can go take your hate and shove it where the sun don't shine: H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks.

Leave me alone, haters.

Love always,
Maia

Mean Girls (Real ones, not the movie)

Shawna, you are a sweetie.

Hey, y'all!

Another request from the awesome Shawna. She wants me to write about why girls are so mean today.

And I have one word for you: Jealously.

To quote from Rogers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella: The Enchanted Edition", "They're just jealous of how faaaaabulous you are!"

I was the Fairy Godmother for that show. I got to say that line.

And it made me feel really goo

Wait, what am I talking about?

Oh, wait.

Why girls are so mean.

Okay, I have been told my whole life that girls are mean because they are insecure and jealous of you.  And sometimes, I can see that, but other times, I can't believe it.

But there are always the few times when a person does something where you might want to be mean to them, but they might not deserve it. And if you are mean to people, I want you to stop think abut what you're doing and saying. Do they really deserve it?

Are you being a Regina George?

I'm just kidding about the Regina George part, but really.

BE NICE!

I have no idea where this is going, so, uh...
BYE!

Love always,
Maia

High School Popularity

Hey y'all!

I got my first request for a post!

Shawna Lindowski asked me to talk about high school popularity, so I will!

Let's see, high school popularity.

Its rough, the high school food chain.

Getting to the top, being noticed, staying at the top, ignoring drama...

High school is its own little government.

There's the "queen bee", who, especially in movies, is typically a cheerleader or an athlete. I know that at my public school, our grade was too big to have one specific popular girl, but the top 8 I can think of were basketball and lacrosse-playing girls. They all also dated boys from the other middle school in my district.

There's also the "quarterback". Okay, now my situation is special. I was really good friends with the quarterback of my middle school's football team.

Also, there were, again, about 8 popular guys, and I personally was friends with 3 of them. They all played football, they all played basketball, but they were really nice in class, but in public, it was all "look, omigod, don't make eye contact, its that girl who is in all of my classes".

But, thankfully, I didn't see them outside of school often.

Now, I don't know how many of you go to private versus public schools, but private school was different from that. Everyone knew who everyone was, and no one was really excluded. Its hard to forget about someone when there are only 46 people in your grade.

My high school grade this year is 46 kids, and there is no real popular person. But there is the same amount of drama that there would be in public school. For example, I can tell you that at least 3 times, I heard in the bathroom or somewhere else, "Omigod! Did you hear that *BLEEP* gave *BLEEP* a *SOMETHING THAT IS SORTA INAPPROPRIATE* and then found out he was dating someone else!" Well, honestly, I have already heard that about the same amount of times in the gym locker room or in the van on the way home.

So even if someone isn't like the queen bee or anything, there will always be the one person who is the center of drama.

Its rough.

So, Shawna, I replied to your comment, and finished the blog within 30 minutes of posting that. And I was only about a paragraph in.

If you want quantity over quality, find someone else.

And if you want me to write based on your requests, don't ask me to post the night after you request your topic.

Seriously.

But still, love always,
Maia
