Erik: How have you learned to adapt when things haven't worked out as planned?
Lulu: Well, I think a lot of it has to do with expectations, you know, you adapt to
maybe giving yourself a little bit more time, you know. Or a little more lead way with certain
things. I wasn't necessarily a planner but, you know, at some point, there are certain
checkpoints in your life, certain big birthdays, you know, or watching your friends or your
peers achieve certain things, or—you know, or have—start families or things, that you
start to think about, you know, "Oh, oh, was I supposed to be there at a certain time,
or was I supposed to earn this much at a certain point, or," you know, just like all of these
expectations, and you might disappoint—you might be disappointed but then you make new
goals, and you make new expectations, and you adapt, you know? You adapt to how your
life goes, not how your life should've been, or what you think it should've been. So you
roll with it. No, seriously, you roll with it. I mean, like, you know, what are you gonna
do? What are you gonna do? If like, *** hits the fan, you gotta just—you know, you just
brush yourself off and you pick up and you keep going.
