Over a year ago a friend recommended that i watched this show that she had recently started watching and told me that I would love it. I listened to her and started watching it and quickly became obsessed with it. The show that I'm talking about is called RuPaul's "Drag Race." Flash forward to now and it has become one of my favorite television shows, I've probably watched every season at least twice. It's a very popular and entertaining show with lots of drama and laughs just like any other reality show, but I think that another reason that people are drawn to this show is the overall message of love and acceptance that RuPaul preaches. I think that I've learned a lot from the show and have become a much more open minded and accepting person because of it. This article will list seven life lessons that I've learned from the show.
1. "Were all born naked and the rest is drag." --RuPaul
This is one of RuPaul's most iconic quotes from his song "Born Naked." It's a very inspiring quote in only a few words, but he is basically saying that we all start off the same when were born, but for the rest of our lives, it's our job to make the most of it and be whoever or whatever we want to be.
2. "Water off a duck's back." --Jinx Monsoon
Something that season five winner, Jinx Monsoon said to herself before every critique from the judges. Basically, just let some things roll off of your mind like water off a duck's back.
3. "Unless they're paying your bills pay them bitches no mind." --RuPaul
In life there will be lots of people who just want to be negative towards you and try to bring you down, but it's important to not pay attention to them because their negativity doesn't affect you or your life.
4. "Walk into the room purse first." --Bob the Drag Queen
Always walk into a room "purse first" or just with some confidence and all eyes will be on you.
5. "Don't get bitter, just get better." --Alyssa Edwards
If someone in your life is trying to bring you down don't just sulk in your anger and do nothing you have to get up and be the best you can to prove those people wrong.
6. "I want people to realize, it's OK to make mistakes; it's OK to fall down. Get up, look sickening, and make them eat it!" --Latrice Royale
If you fail at something or just aren't doing well that's perfectly fine, don't just immediately give up on it. You have to keep practicing, and going with it so you can be successful and let the haters eat it.
7. "If you can't love yourself love yourself how the hell you gonna love yourself." --Rupaul
Probably one of the most iconic quotes from the show said by RuPaul herself at the end of every episode right before the credits roll. In life you have to learn to love every part of yourself before you can love someone else.
