Yesterday

Wow. I have had these results for awhile. Since I got them I have listened to the song Yesterday several times. It has certainly become one of my favorite Beatles songs. These results hit me on the head...hard. I don't want them to be true, but my first instinct was WTF? How did they know?? Everyone I have asked said that it hits the nail on the head for me.

Yesterday
You have a tendency to focus on the past: past mistakes, past happiness, past love. Everything seems easier and simpler in retrospect. You are quite sentimental and you have a good heart. As your life progresses, a lot of things you once valued will become unimportant to you, and some of the things you did not care about before will become extremely valuable to you. Maturity will sharpen your perspective, but those happy, simple times of coloring and tag will always remain in your memory. And waiting just ahead of you are even more wonderful memories to be made.

It has an upbeat ending, I guess. But it really depresses me because I see so much truth in it. After getting it, I have tried hard to become the person different from the one who go these results.

Work as if you don't need the money.
Love as if you have never been hurt.
Dance as if no one is watching.

I have almost always followed the third one (and made an ass of myself every time). The second strikes a chord. I am always afraid, not just of love-ache, but other things (all emotional). I have decided to strike a new path. The other me can just go screw himself.

*added afterward*
I still want to be sentimental and good hearted, and there are some things that will never lose value.

jayzus! you're still on this? lol jkjk. But seriously folks... those stoopid facebook tests are like SOMETIMES true. Some idiot wrote it and happened to get it up on facebook. but if it did point out some flaws about urself, and you WANT to fix them, then i say go ahead. but just because the quiz says you are something that you might not even be, i wouldn't change urself for the quiz.

I think that quiz had some very wise things to say. Considering that it is, only, a quiz. But still. Don't get depressed over it - it's actually quite positive.
