“It is what it is”

  • August 14, 2011, 9:05am

I am sorry that you feel this weak and vulgar. It may seem strange, but I found some comfort and acceptance when going through marital breakup, when someone said it to me. I was running through the 'could have, should have and would have,' and my confidant, who'd been there before said "It is what it is." Kinda became my motto.
