This trend is a way of sharing something pivotal in your life, but I don't believe it truly promotes positivity. I'd say it's more for public processing and catharsis than anything else.

This quiz said I don't seem very happy :( But it also said that things can and will change, so I guess I'm optimistic. Did the quiz say you're happy?

Yay for yellow aura!
I think it's so sweet that this quiz says I have a yellow aura and am like a human ray of sunshine! What color aura did everyone else get? Does it fit you?
