Thank you! I felt the same way.

I find myself saying or thinking "it is what it is" pretty often, but not to terminate thought/conversation. If something bad happens and I can't do anything about it except deal with it, that's just the way it is. I see people complaining about those situations, and I feel like it's just wasted energy; we should save that energy for the things we have some amount of control over.
