Meet 110-year-old Flossie Dickey, aka your new role model. She drinks whiskey straight up, takes as many naps as she can, and doesn't give a single f*ck. Sure, she's got a name that any rapper would kill for and the stone-cold stare of a professional poker player, but all Flossie really wants in life is for everybody to leave her alone so that she can get some sleep. So when interviewed by a local news station in celebration of her 110th birthday, Flossie didn't put on any airs . . . instead, she made it very clear that she was tired and uninterested in publicity.

"Are you excited for your party?" asked the TV reporter, who honestly deserves some sort of award for her effort to coax a cheerful response out of the grumpy centenarian. "Not one bit," responded Flossie in a deadpan voice that will make you simultaneously giggle and admire her frankness. After all, when you've lived over a century, aren't you entitled to a little honesty?

So next time you're totally fed up with a situation, annoyed by a banal conversation, or simply want to take a nap, think of Flossie's advice for a long, happy life: "Don't fight it, live it." (And if that doesn't work, it always helps to practice your side-eye skills.)
