I am not sure if all of u relate to my instant answers but I am sure that it was sent by one of my random friends who was fed up of my mood swings or maybe making real questionnaires (yes, we have assignments like that). If u have heard the opening of cork in a champagne bottle,you know that 'POP', this questionnaire did that job in my head.
Sometimes, we hear ourselves  cribbing about how our  life is so –not- perfect and its not worth living  and blah blah blahbblahblah and why? Because probably we didn’t get the result of certain things the way we wanted them or maybe we have too much of expectations, you are broke ,or better your crush ‘crushed’ your feelings ,your laptop has gone crazy ,you suddenly realized that you actually have lost your mind or that kids in Africa are dying, the nation u live in is not the place u wanted to be born in OR any random shit man! You just get pissed, its your bad hair day and thing are not working out .But just because some things are not working out doesn’t mean that they never would.
And with refrence to my friend’s assessment on me, things change, feelings change….occasionally.  You are looking at the shadow because there is light on the other side but its u who has to make a choice and notice the light.All you have got to do is hang in there and just when u feel fine turn the page and move on.

P.S.- I did turn the page, although of the questionnaire (remember it had TWO pages!!) and it said-
        ‘nothing is permanent in this world. Except of course this statement.
         u are doing fine,kid.'
