“Like water off a duck’s back.”
I actually learned this philosophy from Jinkx Monsoon on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and it has stuck with me ever since. To me, it means learning to go with the flow and not letting every little inconvenience, frustration, or negative experience get under my skin. Life is going to throw challenges my way, and not everything is going to go according to plan. Sometimes things are hard, people can be frustrating, and situations can feel overwhelming, but I try to remind myself that I don’t have to let those moments define my day or my outlook on life. I can acknowledge that something is difficult or annoying without allowing it to weigh me down.
For me, it’s about finding the balance between being adaptable, choosing my battles, and persevering when things get tough. I may not always be able to control what happens around me, but I can control how I respond to it. At the end of the day, I want to keep moving forward, embrace the unexpected, and remember that not everything deserves my energy.
