Your first name of Alaya has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. You can be easily hurt by harsh words and depreciatory remarks, but you hide your feelings and appear indifferent as though they do not affect you. However, despite the hurt, you do not tend to brood for long, as you want to be happy and optimistic. Although you desire to be spontaneous and natural, you are often drawn into technical and methodical lines of endeavour and the incidentals of life. You thrive on encouragement and appreciation from others, and kindness goes a long way in bringing out your naturally cheerful disposition. If you receive an apology, you can be very forgiving, for you do not tend to hold grudges. Love and affection are motivating qualities within you, but it is not easy for you to find the words to express your deeper feelings of affection. You are an emotional person. There is conflict between your desires and your expression which does not allow scope for your capabilities. You enjoy sugars and starchy, rich foods.
