It's a good question; whom we can call it; possibly a person who is irresponsible, constantly talks too much, a flighty scatterbrained psyche; It's a slang term, for a person who is gossipy.

Positivity

Positivity is more than just a deed
Souls rejuvenate when they feed
Positivity makes negativity leave
So I believe in positivity

Are you the person who laughs
Bang bang 
Happiness is my slang
