The Exciting World of Drag Race is not just 14 queens battling it out to become Americas Next Drag Superstar. It's about finding out who you are and owning your star power. Throughout every situation Mama Ru was always there for his queens giving life advice that builds them back up when they are down. This life advice doesn't apply to just future and current drag queens of the world, it applies to everyone.
1. Own and love whoever you want to be, whether it’s a fangirl, anime lover, drag queen, Pokemaster, a pickle, or someone outside your expected norm.
Love every quirk, every flaw, everything that makes you unique and you. You need to own who you are before you truly open yourself up to someone else. As mama Ru would say... [see above].
2. Always have confidence in everything you do especially in yourself.
Life is always going to throw you a few curve balls, but always be confident the choice you make and stand by it. You are your own worst critic, just take a breath and realize you can do it. Own every decision you make and tell yourself you got this like the always confident JuJuBee.
3. There are always going to be people who judge and hate.
Not everyone is going to like you and that’s okay because you also won’t like everyone else you meet and there is always going to be people in your corner who support and love you. When the bad vibes come your way just say not today not today.
4. Everything happens for a reason
You are going to experience things in life that you would never expect to happen, you just have to rise up and roll with the punches because everything happens for a reason. You will only become a stronger and greater you by facing up to the challenge and giving it your all rather than give up. When life gives you lemons, just work with it like Manilla.
5. Always stand up for yourself and never let anyone sell you short.
Always make sure you surround yourself with people who build you up and never down. You need to always have your back and show the world who you are. Stand tall and make them realize you're once fierce queen!
6. Procrastination is not the way to go about life.
Always make sure you do your work in advance, the more time you give yourself the less stress you will have and hey, less stress means more time for fun
7. Always stick to your word
It’s one thing to say something to someone, but you always have to make sure that you stick to your word and follow it with your actions, because mama, it's not what you say its what you do.
8. Live everyday like it could be your last
Live in every
moment of your life, never hide behind fear of failing. There is a great big world out there calling your name and waiting for you to take it all in. Own your moments life gives you!
9. Remember everyone is human
Everyone is human which means everyone deserves to be treated as such.
10. When all else fails in life, stay FIERCE
When the world comes crashing down, just remember whoever you choose to be, be weird, be creative, be bold and always sickening.
